My favorite has always been Nigel Benn. He was wild and crazy in there, had one punch power and fought till either his opponent or himself was out cold.

True warrior.



Least Favorite. Chris Eubank. Those freaking gay ass poses and his personality just stunk. He always thought he was too good for the sport. Good Riddance Chris.

[:::PSL:::]

I don't like Haye either. But imo, he's got tools to beat Wlad.

[Doot]

Favorite: Hamed - got me into boxing
2nd: Lewis - his domination and the way he just presented himself
3rd: Hatton - he is one of the boys

least: cant think of any

[aceofspades]

Don't even think Joe won the fight. He wouldn't have beaten a prime Hopkins or Jones. Wouldn't call Calzaghe my least favourite, though, because he could fight and was very good, just not an all time great in my opinion.
My fave was John Conteh, who if he had Calzaghe's dedication , would have been our best ever. Least favourite is hard cos I respect most fighters, but at one point it was Naz, due to his cockiness. I accept he was a huge talent, though.

[FinitoElDinamita]

In terms of styles and skills, Eubank and Kevin Mitchell has always floated my boat. I like David Haye too but to a lesser extent..

GUys that are rubbish in my eyes are Calzaghe ( although he's no British ) and Ricky Hatton who I dislike very much as a fighter. TO me, Ricky Hatton is one of the most boring fighters ever, he was like a John Ruiz mini-me with that same ole tactic of punch grab punch grab punch grab punch grab.... I can't stand the guy... I just hope Hatton stays retired and never comes back.. For a guy with such lousy boxing ability, he did pretty good for himself so i give him that.. But he would have been better off as a wrestler in the WWE. He could have wrestled side by side with British the bulldog.. They could have called him the Manchester Midget.. It's mind boggling how some actually found his style to be exciting.. smh

[Beanflicker]

Favorite: Chris Eubank. Such an interesting character, and a skilled boxer obviously. Despite his flashy persona and his antics, he was tough as nails with a great chin.

Least Favorite: This is a hard one because I must admit that I'm biased AGAINST British fighters, and there are very few Brits that I ever rooted for.

I guess if I had to pick a least favorite I'd pick Froch.

Just seeing his trash mother and annoying girlfriend cheering him on made my blood boil haha.

Lloyd Honeyghan - Met him 6 weeks after the Curry fight.......truly nice guy.
George Groves - Gotta like this guys attitude and growing maturity.
David Haye - Like his style and he can only do good for boxing.
Lennox Lewis - Great champion and ambassador for the sport.
Colin Lynes - Model pro.
Pat Cowdell - Just because it was the first fight I went to.


Hates

Naseem Hamed - Utter prick!
Amir Khan - Was ok until he started talking about "Brand Khan"
Junior Witter - Cocky, over rated and ultimately a bit of a twat
James DeGale - *see Junior Witter description

[Mark TKO]

Favourites

Benn - true warrior and I was a bag of nerves every time he was in the ring

Lewis - a top ten all time HW class act who lost twice for being a lazy get (and not a class act )

Frank Bruno - shite but we all loved him. 'Hold him Frank. Hold him !!!!' who can forget that night

Eubank (post 1997) - became a fan when he started losing Was at his first fight v Carl Thompson and went from wanting him sparked to cheering him on a la Rocky IV.



Least favourite

Eubank (pre 1997) - couldnt stand him. Or maybe I just misunderstood

Amir Khan - blessed with talent and a chin short of being potentially the greatest fighter these shores have ever produced. But I think he is a wanker who believes his own hype. Will never forget his 'let's compare my bank balance with Maidana's and see who the biggest superstar is' . Prick

Naseem Hamed - never thought he was as good as everyone and himself believed. Loved it when I was proved right



On the Fence


David Haye - two years ago was on verge of being a huge fan but inactivity and his apparent lack of desire to be a great put me off him. Has a chance to redeem himself in three weeks time
