Vick

Why would people dislike Money May? He talks smack but backs it up time after time, he is a brilliant defensive fighter and a pleasure to watch for boxing fans that don't just look to see a slugfest.

Money May is one of my favorites. I don't see him as a Villain.

I agree. If you're looking for an unlikable boxer, look no further than Antonio Tarver, who hasn't shut his trap since dropping Roy Jones, despite having done nothing since that fight and ducking numerous guys at light heavy until finally taking a fight with Clinton Woods in April.

Floyd's persona is solely designed to sell PPVs. The guy's basically cleaned out 3 divisions. Far from unlikable.

I was at a Boat (Casino) in Illinois at a craps table with Tarver about 3 years ago. He was a small timer Quarters on the hardaways. 50-100 place bets and 10 dollar Yo's. The rakes were all over him though. Might have been a good tipper but I didn't see it.

Ulf Samuelsson was the worst in his playing days.

Rae Caruth...now there is a guy I had totally forgotten about.

Mike Tyson has had his share of problems.

later

frostno98 · 02-09-08, 08:05 PM

Tyson invented the word villain! Probably the coolest villain ever. Alleged rape charges, ear cannibalism, punching a cab driver in the ballz, and beating up people at the bars. Wow, that's just comical

And probably Charles Barkley. He's picking on old people in a running contest, and throwing midgets through the window.

onlooker · 02-09-08, 08:59 PM

Charles Barkley is another of my favorites. I sometimes just tune into "Inside the NBA", when not even watching the games on TNT. I enjoy that show.

Can't believe I didn't see this name here.

Al Davis

I think he's only been a villain to Raiders fans the last few years

bigboydan · 02-10-08, 12:06 AM

Dave 'Tiger' Williams has to be at least be nominated for this list.

Dave 'Tiger' Williams' career spanned from 1974 until 1988, playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, and Hartford Whalers.

During those years he spent a lot of time in the penalty box, 3,966 minutes to be exact.

Tiger Williams called the penalty box home more than any other NHL player before or since.

At least ROMO was never arrested for murder.I do beleive though that his wife took the fall for him on that steroid rap.I guess she figured he couldn't make a million dollars if he was in jail,or suspended from the league.

Off the beaten path

Tanya Harding -- by far one of the worst things ever in sports history imo
