When your favorite fighter retires, whose bandwagon will you hop on?

Marquez has been my favorite fighter since Chico Corrales passed away but now that his time is coming to an end, Im scouting a new soilder..

I think of the world of Jorge Linares but he's not sturdy enough to carry the throne..

Maybe Kazuto Ioka or Naoya Inoue? I think it's going to be awhile before I find that perfect fighter...

What about you?

I;m generally a fan of fighters that don't get the respect that they deserve example : Wlad , Rigo , Golovkin was a great fighter also as an amateur and many seem to disregard that,

Right now my favorite fighters are Cotto and Szpilka,

I usually have a lot of favorite fighters so its no big deal.

It's always really fun to get on the bandwagon of the young up and coming guys and see where they go. Sometimes they go on to great things, sometimes they don't.

Re: When your favorite fighter retires, whose bandwagon will you hop on?

My old favorites were Zab, Dawson, and Andre Dirrell. 2 of these three are just done.
Floyd has been a favorite of mine for a while. My new favorite is Danny Garcia.

Rap videos and movies only? lol You are definitely not from America ic.. first of all, nigger and nigga have a different meaning.. That's how it is in LA and in other parts of US..

Nigga and mate are the same shit.. It's about how you use it..

I have a few black friends that go way back and i call them nigga all the time but I get a pass because we really really know each other.. Then again, im not going to walk up to a random black dude and call him a nigga cuz I dont know him like that..

Anyway, St Groves is definitely a good candidate..

Thats good for you finito, and im glad you have that relationship with your black friends but im sure if this forum was in an open room with members talking you wouldnt really use that term to the certain mixed or black members.

Not trying to spoil things but replied to a member on here that made a joke about jews in gas chambers.

Cant we just all speak the queens english and perhaps leave any "other" terms for other situations.

Just food for thought fella, and i know you didnt mean it in a bad way but your prob young enough to be my kid and i just dont need to be hearing those words on the best boxing forum about.

Thanks for listening.

Re: When your favorite fighter retires, whose bandwagon will you hop on?

Looks like I'll never have to think about it. Holyfield will put a jacket and credentials on a tank of oxygen and try tp pass it off as a cornerman before he retires ;D

I don't think people just jump on a wagon overnight, fighters fade away and you warm to others.

I'm with ya there. I saw Garcia as feasting easy on a shot Morales and struggling with Zab. I found respect in what he showed with Mattysse. His focus and he looked complete. Still have questions given a case by case in future, but that's boxing. Froch is a warrior, plain and simple. Oddly I've gone the opposite direction with Bradley?! Mad respect early in career but have waned now. Weird world this boxing.

I'm on more badwagons than most. The younger of the Inoue brothers, Kosei Tanaka and Ryota Murata are 3 of the newest

Naoya Inoue is one of the best young Japanese ive seen in the past 15 years or so.. This guy is just crazy with it..

I havent seen much of his little brother though. I heard he's exceptionally good as well.

Im really high on Murata too..

Im just waiting for Ioka to face Gonzalez cuz the fight is overdue..

Was it the pac fight that made you change your view of him or a bit earlier in his career?

I think bradley is being hidden (sort of) and the fact he cant or wont get the fight with floyd has stumped his growth.

Bradleys last three big wins should propel him to bigger things but he was just age away in top rank.

Problem with Naoya is I was cheerleading him from his debut so he's not that recent :p
Masayoshi Nakatani is another guy I'm falling in love with, hopefully he beats Kato

Re: When your favorite fighter retires, whose bandwagon will you hop on?

Vitali & Wladimir are getting closer to retirement and I am not sure what heavyweight I will cheer for after they are no longer fighting. I had given Joe Hanks thought but his performance vs Ruiz Jr was crap and he's hit his ceiling, Wilder has interested me but I've got a feeling he's going to be a damned mess once he fights someone with a pulse or knowledge about boxing, I would never support Tyson Fury....it's sad but there's not a great heavyweight on the horizon just yet.

At light heavyweight I'd like to start supporting Kovalev...that dude is dangerous although Stevenson looks tough too. Tavoris Cloud just didn't get his chance soon enough, pressure fighters age out quickly. Marcus Browne & Trevor McCumby might do well in the future.

At 168 I haven't had a favorite in a while...I did like David Lemieux as a prospect but I think he's hit his peak already

At middleweight I was a Jermain Taylor fan, but after his first retirement and really since he dropped Manny Steward as a trainer I stopped and I now like Pete Quillen. I like GGG but I hadn't followed him early enough to be "on the bandwagon"

At 154 Miguel Cotto is my guy I've supported him from the get go and IMO he's been better than most of the fighters in his era bar Floyd and Pac of course. I am starting to follow Demitrius Andrade more and I like his potential.
