I suppose that I had better pick CURRENT fighters in case some random pedant calls me out ()

Least favourite has to be Bernard Hopkins - I must say that I have always thought he's a bit of a survivalist scuffler who was lucky there were no good middleweights around when he was the titlist, plus he has the grace and charm of a valentine card from Saddam Hussein.

Favourite at the moment is Floyd Mayweather, because I do think he is going to be an all-time great (yet, oddly, he too has the grace and charm of a valentine card from Saddam Hussein)

Pavlik is fun to watch, but I nned to see a bit more of him before I decide whether he is too one-dimensional (or if that one-dimension is not enough!)

De la Hoya - a class act, fought everyone, a real live fighter with a brain. I like him.

I enjoyed watching Juan Diaz, but his lack of a big punch caought up with him .... always in good fights though.

I'm interested to see what happens to Andre Berto as well, once he gets in the ring with a decent and dangerous opponent (hopefully this year or early 2009?)

Isn't it amazing how few Americans are up there in the sport these days??
