Favourite and Least Favourite British Fighters and Why.
Just because I'm bored list your top 5 favourite British fighters and why, and then your least five and why.
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.

At least you're honest about David haye... ;)

Oddly enough I go almost exact opposite
Fave:Hatton,hard charging and hard hitting,stylistically sloppy,but you know he's going to try and come with it
Least:Calzaghe,hand picked opponents,almost never travels,perfectly content to win on points with slappy little hooks
Re: Favourite and Least Favourite British Fighters and Why.
Favorite:
Lennox Lewis= Great champion, a very classy and personable fighter. Lennox Lewis proves that you can be BADMAN in the ring yet CLASSY.

Re: Favourite and Least Favourite British Fighters and Why.
Favorites
Joe Calzaghe- 1st Ballot Hall Of Famer, 2nd best Suppermiddle of all time, Undefeated 10 year reigning champ and Universaly Recognized Lineal Champ of SuperMiddle and Lightheavy.. And the fighter that has fought through and silenced all the critics and wheile we were in Awe he did it a swagger that proved he was the best all along.
David Haye- Fuck the Haters, the guy is the most exciting thing to come along since Roy in his prime from 175 up, He has it all looks, money, Fame arrogance and helacious power... I will take him to be champion over Mr Roboto anyday of the weak... The division is buzzing again and it aint because of Tony Thompson, Eddie Cambers and Povetkin... Its Cause of the HayeMaker..
Least
Carl Froch- The guy is a defenseless retard that Makes Jeff Lacy's look like Winky Wright... He is nothing more than the 168 version of Vic Darchinyian a guy who is gonna get violently knocked out when he steps it up in class
Indifference
Ricky Hatton- Like him for his tenacity and good guy approach and class.. Dont really think he has much outstandidg skill
Junior Witter- Colossal dissapointment and laid a goose egg on American TV and has flushed his shot with Hatton down the toilet, which he wouldnt have gotten any way seeing Hatton was ducking him
Amir Kahn- the jury is still out on him

Hahaha funny stuff!!
I aint one to like cockyness really. I used to like Naz as a kid but his cockyness made me start to hate him and i was happy barrera put him down a peg or two.
But with Haye its different. He's making himself heard in the division and he's willing to go places and do the business without avoiding it. If he gets his ass kicked then so be it, but at least he has the willingness and ambition to try and achieve the most he can!
Anyway as you pointed out he has quite alot going for him,a dn your just jealous!!!:D

Lewis is my all time favourite British fighter but if we are talking current then
Favourite - Joe Calzaghe
Always knew he was world class ever since he was knocking out bums. Glad he has had such a succesful career
Least favourite - Amir Kahn
I dont like his arrogance or the fact that he has been given such a head start over other young pros . Given such hype despite the fact he hasnt beaten anyone decent yet. Its not as if he won the gold medal .
