Here is the full sentence I have found:
あんた あれほどボクシングをきらっていたのに
どうして急に本気でやる気になったの?
Does it mean 'me'?

Isn't it あれほど?– marasaiCommented Mar 27, 2015 at 4:49

Yes, it is あれほど.– GeorgeCommented Mar 27, 2015 at 4:55

2I don't have time to do a full answer, but あれほど means "so much" or "to such an extent". Best I can tell, this sentence says, "Given that you used to hate boxing so much, why have you suddenly become so seriously motivated [to box]?"– CatCommented Mar 27, 2015 at 5:08

I am agreeing with @Eric on this one– The Wandering CoderCommented Mar 27, 2015 at 5:37

I am agreeing with @TheWanderingCoder agreeing with Eric . But it is not "so much". It is "this（あれ） much（ほど）".– oldergodCommented Mar 27, 2015 at 6:25

As @Eric says,
あれほど means "so much" or "to such an extent". Best I can tell, this sentence says, "Given that you used to hate boxing so much, why have you suddenly become so seriously motivated [to box]?"
However, as @oldergod mentions, あれほど would mean close "to such an extent", or "that much" rather than "so much".
You hated boxing
that much, what suddenly made you become so motivated [to box]?"
