Fave
Hopkins-overcame adversity,went from a slugger to a technician
Ann Wolfe-One punch can make you say nighty night
Valerie Mahfood-Pit bull of a fighter,and a very nice person to boot

Least
Holyfield-when is a head but not a head but,when Evander throws it
Lalia Ali-retired rather then face Wolfe
Jeremy Bates-Could have done so much more if he'd have actually trained

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

Ignore Hopkins all you want, he Butts, hits and holds habitually as well as shoulder butts... Evander is a fighter not your kids school teacher he should be judged on his craft, since thats whats relevant

No Hopkins shoulder leans,but he generally fights with his head tucked,Holyfield slams that sucker in there

[JT Rock]

I think Winky Wright would argue with you about that

[ono]

Faves:

Mayweather

Pavlik

Oscar

Roy Jones

Paulie Malignaggi

Least Faves:

Zab Judah

Jermain Taylor

Jeff Lacy

Antonio Tarver

Bernard Hopkins

[Majesty]

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

[Dark Lord Al]

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

[Althugz]

fav all time Tommy Hearns.
Hated of all time Joke Calzaghe.

Hahaha Joke Calzaghe ain't a Brit fighter...but I understand where you're coming from. He sucks so bad he can be my worst British and U.S fighter

Well this thread came back from the dead!?

My fave US fighters are/were :

Mayweather
Fernando Vargas (laugh but he had talent and balls of steel for such a young fighter..check his resume and his age at the time of his big fights)
Mallignagi (outspoken-ness)
Winky Wright
Mosley
Emmanuel Augustus


Least Fave :

Andre Ward (don't like his OTT bible bashing and style in his last fight was horrible)

Actually can't think of many US guys I don't like, everyone that springs to mind is outside of the US. Kermit Cintron, Margarito, Froch.

By the way, whatever happened to Lefty??

[JonnyFolds]

Lefty got banned.

Favorite American:
Nate Campbell
Tarvoris Cloud

Least:
BHop
Money
Allen Green

Favourite

Mayweather - He's the best. Brilliant to watch.
Malignaggi - Mainly for that advert he did for the Nintendo Wii (i think)
Hopkins - For the Pavlik clinic. Poetry in motion.
Taylor - For the spectacular Hatton-esque Ko's


Least Favourite

Andre Dirrell - Boring style, and the way he got in Froch's face in the build up to their fight annoyed me.

Zab Judah - Gobshite who isn't entertaining with it.

Kelly Pavlik - I ordered a Pavlik Affliction t-shirt and it didn't fit me. So meh.
