Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Carl Froch is my favourite fighter, hes so fun to watch and the way he fights always brings entertainment. I love his load mouth because he always backs it up in the ring. I love that in a fighter.
Ricky Hatton is my second favourite due to him being such a thrilling fighter and bringing so much pride to boxing. without ricky hatton i dont think i would be a fighter now he brings me so much motivation.
Re: Your Favorite Fighter

Herol Graham - hitting without being able to get hit
Tyson - exciting
Julio Cesar Chavez - the way he broke up fighters bit by bit
Terry Norris - Boxing skills and footwork
Hearns - power
Nigel Benn - power plus learning from his defeats
McCallum - art of destroying the body of opponents
Trinidad - power and beating quality fighters
Morales - Skill, Heart and determination
Holyfield - machine at cruiser and heart at heavyweight
Gatti - come from behind victories
Vargas - best talented up and comming fighter ever seen
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Foreman, who was just scary in his old days and who came back an old man with more savvy and skills. A great tribute to boxing.
Zab Judah; as much as I pick on him when he was on he was on. Has some of the greatest natural born talent I ever saw and wish he'd get his sh#t together, as he is a prodigy.
Hatton; for his sheer will and intensity, and I love body punchers.
Ali; no explanation needed.
Micky Ward; alot of heart and he came to fight every time.
Emmanuel Augustus; just a boatload of talent and was entertaining as hell.
#1 Lennox Lewis; just a beast when he was on and a great finisher
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
All time favorite is Tommy Hearns......One of the Best of the 80's superfight 4 ( Leonard, Duran, Hagler) KO artist.....All around pleasing fighter for fans
Of recent it was Lennox Lewis......He carried the legitimacy of the HW title for a long time....
Current it is hard to choose....I have a few....Arce,, Crowd pleaser always exciting, win or lose
Sam Peter----IMO he has a big future in HW boxing ( no pun intended)
Mosley, Cintron,
Gatti is up high on my all time list as well...always a crowd pleaser and always went out swinging....
Diego Corrales was my other favorite of this Generation
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Sorry everyone, I forgot to add one.
Oliver McCall: a guy you always knew to expect the unexpected when he showed up. A clubber, who was also a gentle soul and very much in tune with his feminine side. :Sarcasm:
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Jhonny Gonzalez is my favorite even after two recent losses, I still support him.
He isn't the most skilled boxer, but he has solid basic skills and decent power
when he sits down on his punches.
Fact is in his two losses, he had the blueprint to win both fights.
He will be a champ again.....................
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
I don't really have a clear cut favorite....just certain fighters i follow more than others i guess, i very rarley find myself " rooting " for anyone. It's easier for me to tell someone the fighters i don't like...john ruiz and layla ali would top that list.
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
On the retired fighters there are so many,but I will mention my main favs
Thomas Hearns ,increadible power ,one of the most exciting fighters of all time.
Terry Norris - when he schooled Simon Brown in there second fight I became a huge fan.
Current fighters
Kermit Cintron , I wont miss any of his fights from now on ;D that last ko was very impressive
Andre Berto , I know his last outing was a little disapointing with all the head hunting and he got knocked down,but I think he has a big future in boxing
Roy Jones, his natural talent was so amazing , I have never seen a guy throw punches from the angles he throws and have so much power on them. His current style of laying on the ropes leaves a lot to be desired. ???
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Ricky Hatton
Oscar De La Hoya
Ronald Wright
Jose Luis Castillo
Also Cory Spinks as he's no way a heavy hitter but fights the best and digs deep and knows how to win a fight.
no particular order
Re: Your Favorite Fighter
Tyson
Hagler
Barrera
Dempsey
Calzaghe
Hopkins
Duran
Hearns
Lots of others but these are the ones with fights coming up or else ive been watching them recently and they are in my mind.
