Thats why i ignore all that stuff and put it down to attempted showmanship, I like the guy.
You have a pretty good point there. Hair extensions or no hair extensions I would not want to fight him in a boxing ring.

Here is my list for what it is worth.

Favorites.

Miguel Cotto- I don't think there has been a fighter in the welterweight division since Tommy Hearns that brings that much of an aura of genuine excitement. I say that in the terms of knockouts. It is like everyone waits on the edge of their seats for the stoppage.

Vernon Forrest- I wish he had never had to take those two years off for the shoulder injury. Vernon would have been mentioned with the likes of Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya.

Roy Jones- I know he is nowhere near the Roy Jones of old but in his day the man was flawless. not in a technically sound way but in a style no one but he could be successful at. Today I like him as an announcer and the fact he has become honest about things. Like the fact he did not go to the UK and fight Joe Calzaghe purposely.

Least Favorite.

Bernard Hopkins- Great fighter but always complaining about the respect he supposedly does not get and how great he is. If maybe he put on an exciting bout now and again he would avoid the flack.

Floyd Mayweather JR- He is great in the ring but never shuts up outside of it.
