I guess since he was a boxer, it only seemed to enhance his image. I'm not saying he was going to be able to run for president or do a guest spot on Barney at the time but he wasn't really despised.
Now Tiger, on the other hand, took a public image beating like I've rarely seen.

i never despise athletes for some of the stuff they do that isn't "outrageous"
lebron and the decision? eh who cares, its his choice bad PR move, but you hate him because he isn't perfect? news flash he isn't, but neither are you. he wanted to win, so he moved to win. he also probably wanted that florida no tax to bank. genius arse idea.
ron artest and the brawl? ill chuck a beer at you for no reason, you gonna give me some Jesus stuff and turn your cheek? I guarandamntee half of you would chase me down. I know he got some anger issues and I don't despise him. I'm sure we all have some kind of anger issue
tiger woods and infidelity? people do this everyday. what makes you think his life as home wasn't shite? we don't know the story, how does it make you HATE him though? I don't even feel that bad for elin with the amount of shite she got from him.
now if we're going to rape, abuse, etc articles/athletes that's a bit different because that's straight vicious of any human being, but I'd be compassionate with the victim and hope the justice system deals with the offence. I just don't see how I would despise/hate athletes for things they do when I see it all the time.
