Your Favorite Fighters?

Just interested who is some of your favorite fighters and why?

manny pacquiao- dude has evolved his game i remember his early days he was a one handed fighter and he's learned to become a two handed fighter. his speed and angles he throws punches from are rediculous. i could go on but those are my main.

floyd mayweather- this is all that needs to be said he's taken boxing and perfected it.

Yuriorkis Gamboa- has that unorthodox roy jones type of style but can also box. when him and juan ma fight, that fight is going to say a lot about him.

Paul Williams- He needs to learn how to use his length and box from the outside. Has all the potential in the world and shows signs of being a great boxer.

Roy Jones- Did all the wrong things at the right time. his athletecism alone is what made roy great and he had one punch power. his fights w/ hop and toney at middleweight stand out the most to me as far as what Roy could do.


B-Hop- I've always like Hop a lot of people find him boring or a dirty fighter. all i can say is, and correct me if i'm wrong, he defended the middleweight title 16 times? knows how to fight on the inside and has a defense up there with the best

if you mean today then here goes a few.1. manny pac..if there ever was a throwback to the golden age of boxing heres a great example..fast hands moves well punches with power definetly not afraid to mix it up nor fight the best competion nor not afraid of the bigger guys..has a balance problem but outside that a truely great one..2.kelly pavik..what i like about kelly is hes a blue collar guy thaT HAS NOT FORGOT HIS ROOTS.IN FACT HE LOVES HIS ROOTS.GOOD KID AND GOOD FAMILY GUY..AS A FIGHTER IVE SEEN MANY OF KELLYS STATURE..in another era the 50s kelly would of been a contender..bottom half for a while of the top ten ..in a earlier age a good fighter not a contender but a fighter you fight as a test to see if your going to or are ready for the final 2 levels..he can punch for sure..most of the time a excellent work rate.hes not boring..a likeable honest down to earg guy....shane mosley...excellent fighter...boarderline HOFAMER at best..yes thell vote him in by my book says boarderline..i like him cause hes a class act..a likeable nice guy..good power and hand and foot speed in his prime.lots of courage..his one mistake and its not career wise like floyd hints at was getting invloved with balco...victor conte conned every athelet that ever went to him..i got some great vitamin stuff etc etc..shane im sure for 3 fights or so not his entire career was using contes junk..martinez..wow a great humble talented fighter .a class act.my kind of guy and fighter..the last 2 or 3 fights he had made me a fan..not a big puncher yet will mix it up briefly..great speed and footwork and fun to watch.

Even after plastergate ?

Yeah I know it sucks but I still think he is very entertaining to watch fight although he will probably never be able to shake the bad rep he has now.

I was a huge Margarito fan, but plastergate broke my heart.

I agree but hopefully over time he can redeem himself.

He would redeem himself if he actually confessed and let everyone know the truth. The fact he laid all the blame on his trainer only made things worse.

sounds like luis resto and panama lewis

Yeah im with u he should have just been honest about the whole thing.

It's really frustrating because Margarito vs Cotto was a special fight, now it's tarnished.

Yes it is but Im alittle surprised that the Cotto camp didnt have much more of an uproar about the whole suituation.

1. PBF - There are so many details in the way he fights. He is so complete as a boxer and a world class athlete on top of it. Student of the game outside of the ring, master inside of it.

2. Andre Ward - Similar to PBF. I like slick, technical fighters. Anytime a great athlete relies on brains and strategy, I'm a fan. And unlike PBF, he's a class act outside the ring as well.

3. Jorge Linares - He's off the radar right now, but he's young enough and talented enough to still be a star. Like the others he's technically very sound and poised in the ring. He got dropped badly a few fights back so he's at a crossroads.
