Re: First time you saw him, you were hooked
Roy Jones Jr : Most American fight fans love RJJ due to the fact that he was the human boxing embodiment of SuperMan. Hands down one of the most exciting fighters of our time. He was something else.
Bernard Hopkins : When I first got hooked on boxing it was with my dad & some of his friends. Heavyweights were the rage & I saw Hopkins on the undercard of some heavy fight. It was so long ago that I can't remember the fighter or the card...but Hopkins stopped him inside of the distance & it was early...I do remember that because the heavy card went the distance. Hopkins was really surgical back in his day...almost scary how precise he was.
Floyd Mayweather : Hook line & sinker from day one on this one...without a doubt my favorite fighter of all time.
Joe Calzaghe : I pretty much dig everything about gentleman Joe. He's fast, accurate, & awkward as hell & he's a 10 year running champion. Critique him all you want but the fact remains that Joe is a winner & he's good for boxing.
Kelly Pavlik : I got sold on Pavlik about 2 or 3 years ago by listening to Larry Merchant rave about how great he was & that he wasn't gettin a fair shake in the ratings or networks. He was right. Pavlik got injured & slipped outta the lime light for a year or so & then came back strong...glad to see him on top now.
Miguel Cotto : This one owned me with his seventh round of Ceballos back in his day. Cotto continues to viciously hammer out wins over his competition. Win, lose, or draw I think that I'll be a Cotto fan for life.
I would say that it's the same with the rest on the list.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
