Favourite and Least Favourite British Fighters and Why.

[leftylee]

Just because I'm bored list your top 5 favourite British fighters and why, and then your least five and why.

I'll start.

Top 5

1. Carl Froch, my favourite fighter, exciting, arrogant, has little respect for his opponents power keeping his hands low, inviting them in and then smoking them with lethal uppercuts. His ring entrances are quality as well.

2. Joe Calzaghe, probably our greatest ever fighter. A living legend, although I have to say I don't find his fights all that exciting truth be told, with the exception of Lacy and a couple others.

3. Carl Johanneson. Obviously not for ability but I've always warmed to the kid. Shy, limited technically and vulnurable but a big heart and always in exciting fights.

4. Amir Khan, a ton of potential, fast, slick, exciting, Our best prospect by far.

5. Matt Skelton. Fat, old, no skill, slow plodder but I really respect his dedication to the sport, not even turning pro until his mid thirties and still putting a world title run together. Of course he's very limited but he's the only one of our heavies who shows the sport respect by always coming into his fights prepared and willing to give 100 percent.


Least 5.

1. David Haye. I'm literally salivating at the thought of him having his head punched to the canvas in a brutal fistic assualt from Wladimir Klitschko in the not too distant future. Some kinds of arrogance I don't mind, but pretty boy arrogance I can't stand. Haye is tall, good looking, flash, well dressed, popular with the ladies, in short everything I despise in a man. He needs to be retired for the good of every short, dumpy, plain looking nobody like myself.

2. Ricky Hatton. Nobody in the sport of boxing bores me more. He's the media darling of British Sport, making appearances on Johnathon Ross, A Question of Sport, Parkinson, even Gordon Ramsey's F Word. And why exactly is he so popular? Merely because he's fat, likes to drink beer, play darts and is like the typical fat, beer swilling, football supporting dullard who exists in the pubs and on the terraces around the country every single weekend.

3. Derry Matthews. He's a dirty fighter, he's a scouser, enough said.

4. Audley Harrison. A waste of talent. No heart and could be about to get the most undeserving heavyweight title shot in the history of heavyweight boxing.

5. Kevin Anderson. He's just shit. Gavin Rees could move up and hand him his ass. Useless.

Excuse me ?? ............
