Like watching them all. A good fight is a good fight. Doesn't matter who's involved. Not liking a paticular fighter doesn't mean I dislike watching him fight.

I knew about Cotto.
Didn't suspect about Sergio.

But you mentioned Cotto 3 times, whereas you only mentioned Sergio twice.
So I take it Cotto's still your favorite?

No, no... I meant you like Sergio, too.
That's where my amazing powers of deductive reasoning detected a trend.
And then I concluded......aww, never mind.... the moment's passed.

Uhm...yes. I had an animated RIP signature for months in memory of the great man. Many people have chosen Ali so I don't think boxing now is a prerequisite. It was the television that made both fighters and so watching them is still a pretty easy thing to do. There is also the interweb.

Currently active,

Groves,
Quigg,
Froch,
JMM
Price
HAYE (that will be popular) lol

That was not the question asked by the thread though. Watching a boxer and them being alive are two different things.

oooh I just noticed my apologies El

Donald Curry
Mike Tyson
Herol Graham
Terry Norris
Julio Ceaser Chavez



John Ruiz
Johnny Nelson
Chris Eubanks – sky phase
Henry Maske
Sven Ottke

Bernard Hopkins... i nought more beers when this guy was fighting than any other world champon.. he was just that boring. Hopkins will win a fight with a jab if the other other fighter doesn't initiate...

John Ruiz... just had horrible fights... he'd hug more than a koala on a eucalyptus tree... Ruiz most excting fight is when he got KO'ed by Tua...

Wlad.. although he is great..he can be robotic... and boring.

Chad Dawson... for some reason..this guy just isn't pleasing to watch for me...

Bernard Hopkins...he's so boring, i had to list him twice.

Azumah Nelson
Nigel Benn
Evander Holyfield
Saad Muhammed
Juan M Marquez
5b Johnny Tapia

etc etc etc

Roy Jones...and Derrick Gainer. Two for one sale.
John Ruiz
Hector Camacho
Larry Holmes
Vinny Pazienza

* Both sets prone to random change ;D

Favorites
BOB FOSTER
One punch KO power. When he put them down, it was surprising they got up.
MIKE TYSON
He was fun to watch and everyone's favorite before prison and Buster. He was total aggression. The little guy who went through big guys like sodas on a hot day.
MANNY PACQUIAO
Everyone knows about Manny.
ARCHIE MOORE
Enough heart for ten fighters. The old guy who always figured out a way to win.
RICARDO LOPEZ
'Finito' 51-0-1 38KOs.The fighter most Mexican fighters want to be like.
ROCKY 1
I think the music had something to do with this one!

I have a lot of respect for everyone who gets in the ring so I'm not doing least favorites. Think about this, you need least favorites so you can identify most favorites. You can't have one without the other. I'm thankful they all decided to get in the ring!

There must be more but I enjoy boxing so much that i'd watch pretty much any match as you never know when a potentially crap fight is going to turn in to a classic.
