Funny thing is everyone on this site goes on about how good Calzaghe is but none of you have made him your most respectable active fighter even when he's made 20 defences thats how good he really is then
Cant forget Arturo Gatti another guy I have a ton of respect for, Verno Phillips

I would say De La Hoya but his last 3 opponents have been big time smack talkers, which makes him look like the good guy all of the time.
My list has nothing to do with talent. I like boxers based on talent. I RESPECT boxers based on character, willingness to take the big fight, and being an ambassador for the sport. That said... and in no particular order.
1)B-Hop. Never ducked anyone. Was a thug earlier in life, but that man lives right.
2)Oscar. Say what you will, but the guy has always taken the big fights, and the guy has basically put the sport on his back in this era of weak HW's.
3)Holyfield. Doesn't know the meaning of fear. Dedication beyond belief. Great guy in his community. Would leave his intestines in the ring to give the fans thier money's worth. We'll see how this whole steroid thing shakes out.
4)Margarito. Always wants the big fights. Always fights hard. Reps Tijuana to the bone.
5)Peter Manfredo Jr. Not the best fighter out there, but a great face for boxing, figuratively of course. A great community guy and family man. A hero in Providence, a community that needs one. Most popular fighter on a show that brought a lot of new fans to boxing.
6)Arturo Gatti. Nuff said.
Whining punks list...
1)PBF
2)Judah
3)Tarver, but I still like the guy
4)RJJ
5)Junior Witter
6)Lovemore
7)Carl Froch

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
All the mentioned ones especially Morales but not mentioned much:Margarito. Almost always exciting and fights under rated badasses=Clottey as a tune up and almost always enters fights as an underdog. In shape allllll year around,he trains non stop. And he's very very respectful to his opponents. A real old school,throwback fighter! ANd he has a thick moustache!
