Ah mate GREAT call with Anthony Small! How could I forget him! He's just replaced Kevin Anderson on my shit llist! I mean it's not fair to hate on Anderson just because he's shit when Anthony Small is not only shit but also a deluded cunt.

I'll start.

Top 5

1. Carl Froch, my favourite fighter, exciting, arrogant, has little respect for his opponents power keeping his hands low, inviting them in and then smoking them with lethal uppercuts. His ring entrances are quality as well.

2. Joe Calzaghe, probably our greatest ever fighter. A living legend, although I have to say I don't find his fights all that exciting truth be told, with the exception of Lacy and a couple others.

3. Carl Johanneson. Obviously not for ability but I've always warmed to the kid. Shy, limited technically and vulnurable but a big heart and always in exciting fights.

4. Amir Khan, a ton of potential, fast, slick, exciting, Our best prospect by far.

5. Matt Skelton. Fat, old, no skill, slow plodder but I really respect his dedication to the sport, not even turning pro until his mid thirties and still putting a world title run together. Of course he's very limited but he's the only one of our heavies who shows the sport respect by always coming into his fights prepared and willing to give 100 percent.


Least 5.

1. David Haye. I'm literally salivating at the thought of him having his head punched to the canvas in a brutal fistic assualt from Wladimir Klitschko in the not too distant future. Some kinds of arrogance I don't mind, but pretty boy arrogance I can't stand. Haye is tall, good looking, flash, well dressed, popular with the ladies, in short everything I despise in a man. He needs to be retired for the good of every short, dumpy, plain looking nobody like myself.

2. Ricky Hatton. Nobody in the sport of boxing bores me more. He's the media darling of British Sport, making appearances on Johnathon Ross, A Question of Sport, Parkinson, even Gordon Ramsey's F Word. And why exactly is he so popular? Merely because he's fat, likes to drink beer, play darts and is like the typical fat, beer swilling, football supporting dullard who exists in the pubs and on the terraces around the country every single weekend. :cwm33:

3. Derry Matthews. He's a dirty fighter, he's a scouser, enough said.

4. Audley Harrison. A waste of talent. No heart and could be about to get the most undeserving heavyweight title shot in the history of heavyweight boxing.

5. Kevin Anderson. He's just shit. Gavin Rees could move up and hand him his ass. Useless.

Excuse me ?? :o............;D

Favs.

1) Ricky Hatton - I really don't need to explain.

2) Paul Smith - family, scouser.

3) David Haye - Exciting and backs up his talk, awesome power.

3) Anthony Small - The guy is great comedy, how could you not like him ??

4) Colin Lynes - great personality, great role model.

Least.

Junior Witter - Cocky, arrogant cunt who calls people out and can't back up his talk.

Joe Calzaghe - Only faced one legitimate threat in 44 fights (Kessler) and a 43 year old doesn't count.

I don't know if I even like Haye but for the purpose of this list I will say Haye. Then Hatton but again I don't even like watching Hatton fight.

Least favorite is a much easier list to compile. Calzaghe tops it and then it's Froch easy.

How can you seriously dislike Hatton?

A guy who sells out 56,000 tickets and brings such attention to the sport and provides such thrilling fights. Bilbo what are you on? Is it like 'I only like fighters who half sell out York Hall?
'I dont like Hatton, he drinks beer'
So you only like boxers who dedicate them to the sport and cite as number one Calzaghe. Who has called off more fights Hatton or Calzaghe through injury?

Fighters I like btw:
Hatton, Haye, Calazgaghe, Froch, Witter, Khan, Jennings.

favorite

1 Calzaghe
2 Alex Arthur - dont think he's a world beater but he's in great fights!
3 Enzo Mac - got sparked but he'll be back

Least

Audley Harrision - boxer thats afraid to get hit, waste of talent
Naz - hated him
Carl Froch - don't really know why I dislike him but I do ;D

Favorite: Eubank, Haye, Lennox, Duke McKenzie, Khan

Least Favorite: Naz, Carl Fraud, Robin Reid, Benn

cant wait for mick to see my boy be champion in his next fight. Shame about Inkin cowering out twice though...;D

My favourites, in no particular order:

Nigel Benn - absolute warrior, an animal ready to fight anyone
Jimmy Wilde - just the best flywieght who ever lived. Period
Joe Calzaghe - world class, legendary record, a winner
Randy Turpin - a lightheavy in a middleweight body. Beat the great Sugar Ray, then went nuts and killed himself ... classy.
Jem Mace - the original bareknuckle king of the ring.

Least (and I find this hard because I respect anyone who climbs into the ring generally)

Naseem Hamed and Scott Harrison - wasted talent and unpleasant people who never respected their opponents, their sport or, ultimately, themselves.
