We have all heard of boxing's Hall of Fame, but this thread for boxing's Hall of Shame.
Boxers that have disgraced themselves and bought shame to the sport.
Two categories, out of the ring and inside the ring.
Ok I'll go first and this boxer fits into both categories.
James Bulter:

Disgraceful what he did in the ring and he got a 4 month prison sentence for it.

And killing Max Kellerman's brother, the sports writer Sam Kellerman, with a hammer after he tried to help him out, sees his nominated in the second category.

Inside the ring: Manny Pacquiao for being such a wimp. In his last 4 fights he lost his nasty edge. He had Cotto finished but was begging the ref to stop it instead of finishing Cotto himself. He took pity on clottey, he showed mercy to margarito and stopped beating him up and he was too soft on Mosley, he hurt him in the 3rd then let him go. Spent most of the clottey and Mosley fights touching gloves instead of finishing the job off. Wheres his fighters edge? Would Duran or Tyson show mercy to lesser opponents? No man, they get the job done, Pacquiao too worried about being a nice guy but boxings a fighting mans sport no place for nice guys.
Outside the ring: Manny Pacquiao - for not giving a blood test. Mayweathers a fraud but he was right to ask for doping tests, if manny had any balls hed have stepped up and called mayweathers bluff but no he walks away. Boxing needs better testing and these are the 2 top guys they should lead the way. All manny did was shoot himself in the foot coz he cast a shadow of doubt on himself by refusing random tests like a guy with something to hide.

that was a sucker punch and a half. the guy on the deck looked like he was fitting at one point. i've thrown a playstation remote in temper before, but that's another level of being a sore loser.
my nominee is:
Anthony Small aka "Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr".
1. for the ridiculous nickname
2. for his religious protest antics
3. i saw him fight on the contender uk v usa bill, we were close to ringside, and young kids were asking him to sign their programmes and asking for pictures with him. He said no and pushed his way past everyone, then started laughing at them, and giving it the big i am. ungracious pleb!
Then a lot of the american guys who'd already fought came past, and were very obliging to the mass of people. a little boy in front of us got his picture with alfonso gomez, and gomez took the time to speak to him, ask him name etc.
That little boy kept saying to his dad for the rest of the night "i can't believe i got my picture with him", he was beaming.
i lost all respect for Small that night.
