Probably been done before.... but thought I'd revisit why some of us like certain particular fighters (or DISlike, for that matter). I'll start.

Why I'm a fan of... Manny Pacquiao:

1. He ended Oscar De La Hoya's "I-think-I'll-ride-off-into-the-sunset-with-a-safe, undersized, big-name scalp-under-my-belt" quest. He made Oscar quit on his stool. He also retired him.

2. He put an end to Hatton's "I'm-fighting-for-#1 p4p" nonsense..... EMPHATICALLY. Practically ended HIS career also. Exposed Hatton as a tad overrated.

3. He destroyed Margacheato's face, in a bit of a karma moment. What goes around comes around, like a fellow poster well put it in another thread. I wanted devastating KO... but maybe this was even better.

4. He's shown that you can be a world-class, exciting fighter without being an asshole. (Note: Any veiled references to a certain Pretty Boy are completely unintentional).

He also KO'ed Cotto... but I'll forgive him that.
