Josh Kelly - not in the class of the others , but just like watching him fight.

The thing with Jai isn’t just about his talent , it’s outside the ring as well.
Every interview shows he’s just a straight up guy chasing greatness. When he’s asked about champions in his division, he doesn’t slag them off, he says they’re great fighters , but he believes he’s better.
And he’s stood next to Eddie , who is typically saying “we’ll make him millions, fighting in Saudi, U.K., US, and he just turns around and says “that’s not what I want. I want to give back to Australia. I want to showcase my talents there and be a great for them. It’s not about the money.”
When asked about the IBF Stripping him , he just says “fucking leave me alone man, just let me fight.”
Fucking love his spirit!

Re: Top 5 current favourite boxers
Mine have really shaken up. The old mantra of "need/will" see them fight live has changed up a bit too. Aside from some spotty fight night streams the direct same time exposer is yet another ppv/app fee.
But Inoue is still there. Just have to wake up at 4am to tune in ;D
David Benavidez
Bam Rodriquez
Usyk
Tim Tszyu
Subriel Matias
Junto Nakatani
Fernando Daniel Martinez
Bud Crawford
Leigh Wood
That's over five :-X

Good call Garcia. Mere 20 yrs old and must see tv. One up there on the excitement meter each out. No idea if he burns like a candle at both ends or helps put 160 back on the championship map, but he's a very promising one-man wrecking crew.

Since I gave 6 for some reason last year, I'll give 6 for this year. Heading into 2023 it looks like this:
Usyk.
Inoue.
Roman Gonzalez.
Juan Francisco Estrada.
Radzhab Butaev.
Subriel Matías.
Castano has slipped outside my top 5 until I see where he is when he returns.
Taylor has a chance to put on a better performance in the rematch with Catterall.
2023 could be the last year for both Usyk and Gonzalez.
Top 6 again
Usyk.
Inoue.
Roman Gonzalez.
Radzhab Butaev.
Subriel Matías.
Junto Nakatani.
