Why does forrest griffin have so much haters?

Everyone says he sucks. But they dont realize you dont compete in the UFC If you suck. and most probably never have even trained or been in a fight before to say anything. I think he is a good fighter. Why do people say he sucks
People don’t think Forrest is a great fighter because his style isn’t as smooth as other fighters. Shogun, Lil Nog, Rashad Evans, these guys all have smoother styles. When Forrest gets in there he looks more like a fan that just got mad and will fight you.
Another reason is he also is a TUF competitor which nobody really takes seriously as well. People think he only came from a reality show and that’s it. He did come out of a reality show but the reality show helps weed out the best fighters like Rashad, Gray, Bader, Florian, etc.
People also say “he beat out top competitors when they weren’t well,” aside from Shogun, they are very wrong. He has lost to Silva, Jardine, and Evans and beat out guys like Tito (twice, face it), Rampage (how many of you expect that one), and he gives his best when he fights.
I imagine since he looks like an amateur when he fights they just don’t respect the guy. I think he’s awesome. He lost to Silva that’s another thing people laugh at him for. I can’t hate on Forrest because Silva is bad ass. There is no humiliation when losing to a fighter of that caliber. Forrest is one of my favorite fighters because he looks like the he would walk up to a fan and ask “Let’s go have a beer.” Aside from that, He is much better than what people say. I love watching Forrest fight and aside from Shogun, I’ll root for Griffin.
Well all these haters, Why dont you go in to the ring and get out of the ring safe and happy that nothing happened to you.
I like him as a fighter, entertaining, good gas tank, good puncher, heart.
Some people were hating on him because he ran out of the ring following the Jardine fight and the Anderson Silva fight. He kinda acted like a baby.
Forrest is one of my favorite fighters. He is entertaining to watch and put 100% effort into his fights. Anyone who is a forrest hater should be punched in the face!
Forrest Griffin is my personal hero. He fights like insanity, he’s funny as hell, and his book is the best book i’ve ever read. Unfortunately, this world is full of morons.
I think partly to blame is his endless self-depricating humor, and some people take advantage of it to hate him. he’s a great guy, with huge victories. THe ultimate fighter winner doesn’t suck. Ever. Period.
I’ve had the privilidge of meeting him before, the only fighter i like more then him is BJ Penn (Local hero)
Forrest Griffin is talented in some respects like his kicking ability would probably be his best feature. I am a hater of Forrest for one simple reason that really bothers me to the point of no return. The guy does not finish fights period. yeah he has gotten a few submissions but where are his ko’s.Where is this guys ability to beat guys without bringing it to a decision. He beat Rampage by decision, he beat Tito by decision. I would like him so much more if he just finished fights.
i dont hate him
i read his book
i just think he is highly overrated
and isnt in the top 50
or top 20
and hasnet had a legacy
and the fact he ran out of the cage and couldnt take the loss to silva like a normal fighter
but still he can destroy me and like 99% of others in the universe
so that plus him being a humle guy and being probally way richer than i ever will be is pretty good
not to mention he has a really hot girlfreind/wife, im not sure if they married
anyhow peace
he is good
but i agree with nice deud
When he fights its as if he dosent look clean or explosive..
he Also Gets a lot because he dosent finish fights
he has beat anyone legit except rampage by a barley decision from running and leg kicks
and than he beat a gassed injured shogun who right know is back to his old self while forrest got knocked out by jardine, jeremy horn, rashad, and andreson silva, and has only 3 k.o. wins all against no bodys..beating elvis sinsoic who is negative wins and trais fulton by a cut isnt impresive
