    Favorites

    Kelly Pavlik, he's just exciting to watch.

    Nate Campbell, his recent trash talk on the system and what he has done in the ring has made me a fan.

    Least favorites

    Bernard Hopkins, just a dirty fighter, I can appreciate what he has done in the ring, but I can't stand how dirty of a fighter he is.

    Cory Spinks, talks trash like he' s king kong but he ends up like tinkerbell.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Trust me I have the fights on tape,he leans and he'll hit on the thigh,but thats not the same damage a head butt does. One slows you down, the other causes a fight stopping cut,and I have yet to see a heavy weight bout from Holyfield that doesnt involve a headbut.
    Not to mention morally,Evander has what? A million kids with a million different women? Hopkins lives like a Spartan

    What I like about Malignaggi is he doesn't try to BS the public when he gives a bad performance

    if you'd heard him on Wednesday nights he didn't even use the hand or the braids as an excuse for why he looked bad.

    He said "Ndou changed up his game plan a little. Broken hand or no broken hand, braids or no braids, there's no excuse for performing like I have in the last 2 fights"

    Like Atlas said, he is an honest fighter, and I like that about him. The fact that he talks trash and walks in intending to do exactly that and if he doesn't he criticizes himself and is honest about it.

    Most fighters just avoid the fact they looked crappy. He blatantly states it. So thats one thing I like about him

    fav all time Tommy Hearns.
    Hated American not for his ability but for his badmouthing James Toney.
    Hated of all time Joke Calzaghe.

    Favorites

    Evander Holyfield- My alltime favorite fighter, heart, guts, warrior and inspiration

    Jeff Lacy- been a fan from the get go, great heart, chin and will, exciting all action fighter and a charasmatic all around good ambassador for the sport

    Floyd Mayweather- The crem dela crem, this generations best fighter, 1st ballot hall of famer and destined to be mentioned with the likes of Robinson, Ali, Pep and Greb

    Roy Jones Jr- fuk the haters he still has plenty in the tank, has reinvented his style and defense as well as restoring lost confidence, as much as I like Calzaghe, Jones will defeat him if they fight

    Shane Mosely-Great fighter, great guy dazzleing in every sense of the word

    James Toney- Throw back one of the best fighters of the last 20 years multi division champion and one of the tougest bastards to lace them up

    Kelly Pavlik-epitomises everything you want out of an explosive fighter

    Glen Johnson- hardnosed throw back and all around bad ass fighter who unfortunately gotten screwed to many times

    Winky Wright- Great defense and a old school fighter

    Andre Berto- been following him for over a year and believe he is the heir apparent in 2 years time when Floyd hangs them up, sensational offense and punch selection with a chin.... Needs to improve his defense or will be exposed quick

    Least

    Zab Judah- Piece of dried up dogshit

    Hopkins- Cheater and an ahole

    Malignaggi

    Allan Green- Loud mouthed idiot who layed an egg on the mainstage and got owned by Miranda

    Thats all I can think of for now
