Right now I'm a big Vasquez fan due to his determination.

I love Winky... He makes every fighter look bad. Same with BHop another one of my favs.

I have always been a sam soliman fan. I like his awkward nature.

Micheal Katsidis is fun to watch. Just a brawler.

I love Peter Manfredo... Nothing flashy or special but just a fighter from my home town that has skill.

Pernell Whitaker = I love watching slick fighters when Whitaker was at his best he was like poetry in motion to watch. Watching him make people miss when he is so close to them is amazing.

Floyd Mayweather Jr = Ditto for what i just said about Whitaker.

Wilfredo Gomez = I love big punchers and Gomez took on all comers gave it his best and had the big punch to go along with his exciting style.

Julian Jackson = How can you not love Jackson's style of fighting ?? he used to KO guys without even trying his one punch KO's are a pleasure to watch.

Just to name a few i'll do more later.

And by the way are you about All time or just now ??

But thats how i like em man, all my main favourites seem like one's in a million

I was wondering the same thing that ICE asked about whether or not this list is about All-time or Current fighters.

Current Fighters:

Manny Pacquiao - As many punches as he throws yet never tiring out is amazing to me. Perfect combination of speed and power. Never wants to leave a fight in the hands of the judges, always wanting a knockout.

Floyd Mayweather - Even though I LOATHE him as a person, I think he's one of the most skilled fighters ever! Defensive wizard and lands punches at will.

Kelly Pavlik - Puts endless pressure on you and punches with bad intentions (lol!)


All-Time:

Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Erik Morales

I just did this list a while back. Welcome aboard.... I see your loving 'El Ninos' arrival at the Pool. I'm a United fan....

Jamie Moores one of my favorites at the moment his last few fights have been cracking. He takes some hammer an just absorbs it and can dish it out and his fights usally end in KO. I think he's poor mans Hagler.

ICB, really curious here as I believe this is the 1st time I see you list and or even mention Canto.
I didn't know he was one of your favorites as I've never seen you rate him.
What happened to Pancho or Wilde?
Also which Canto fights have you seen?

I kinda like Iceman's list to be honest !

Not based on who I think are the best fighters but rather just my own favourites.

Carl Froch, just love his reckless, arrogant, contemptous snake like style, plus he comes to the ring looking like the grim reaper which is always good.......unless your Anthony Small.

Carl Johanneson...I just find him really endearing, shy, awkward lad with defensive vulnurabilities but he's a real tryer. He's one of those 'boxer next door' types.

Alfonso Gomez....A true battler, likeable underdog who always suprises

Jesse Feliciano....grows on me with every fight, seen as a limited club fighter whose supposed to be an easy learning fight for up and coming prospects only he didn't read the memo that told him he wasn't supposed to actually try and win. If he could punch a little harder he'd be a real life Rocky Balboa story.

Kelly Pavlik, now this guy really is Rocky Balboa, poor background, humble, droopy face, sounds punchy, but can hit like a jackhammer. My favourite big name fighter.

Juan Diaz....never seen anyone like him, a relentless puncher except that he can't punch. He's the boxing equivilant of a Chinese water torture who instead of throwing physically damaging punches just somehow manages to break the heart of his opponent and make them quit on their stools. Awesome to watch, he's just so exciting to me.

Joe Calzaghe, an obvious choice but the man's a legend.

Steve Molitor, slick boxer and recently puncher who is contemptuously arrogant like Carl Froch but can back it up. He's the future of the bantamweight and featherweight divisions.

I'm also a big Floyd fan, I like Sergio Mora, Tony Thompson, Arthur Abraham, Juan Guzman, Shane Mosely, Antonio Margarito and a bunch of others.
