Favourite and Least Favourite American fighters and why....

[JT Rock]

I was just about to say that

I just wanted you to know Monkey I was a Hopkins fan up till that fight with Wright.. One of this generations best tactician and defenseman got royally screwed as Hopkind fouled and warned 190000000 times, he was hitting Wright everywere except legally... Wright isint a dirty fighter nor does he have the rep as one, so it wasnt like Hopkins was fighting fire with fire.. Wright got screwed and Hopkins was allowed to be a cheating fuck.

Consequenlty he cheated his balls off aginst Tarver too but no one cared since it was Tarver, But Hopkins fouled that whole fight too..

Oh come now,he fought Tarver away,taking advantage of Tarver's pawing jab and not letting him find range

He fouled him in every clinch all 5000000000000 of them... Hopkins is dirty and implemented more fouling to compensate for age and deteriorating athleticism over the past few years... End of Story dude

Your allowed to clinch for a minute,and if you think youd survive for 5 minutes at the Blue Horizon not clinching,your only fooling yourself.
Bringing up the Tarver fight,where Bernard was fighting away is ludicrous.

And what was Tyson complaining about right before he took a chunk at of Holyfields ear?
Head butts
Holyfield even head butted Jeremy Bates for gods sake

Dude is your brain already starting to atrophy from all that Tofu? What the hell does this staement have to do with the topic...
Fact#1

Hopkins was showing his age against Taylor, he was starting slow and trying to conserve and it cost him, this trend was becoming progressively stronger, until he fought Tarver and was content with tucking his head and throwing one right hand at a time, clinching holding and hitting.. Wash, rinse and repeat... Same thing against Wright.. Albeit they were all southpaws so I can see him utilizing the straight right, but Christ all mighty!!! He was throwing 15 punches per round and only 3 were legal

Holyfield even head butted Jeremy Bates for gods sake

Yor really full of shit on this one, seen the fight 5 times and that didnt happen, no more than any other fighters getting an inadvertent clash

If you dont like Holy then just admit it, but dont pontificate the dirtiest player in the game Ric Flair Hopkins, and then dig on Holyfield.. It looks supremely fanboyish and nuttugging

[OumaFan]

Favorites-I'm just gonna go with guys that are fighting or on the brink of retirement

Juan Diaz-don't really care so much if he's a good role model, just enjoy watching him fight

James Toney-favorite fighter ever, brilliant to watch, impeccable moral compass and fiber and all that.

Bernard Hopkins-I get why people don't like him, but I became a fan early and I'm a loyal fan if anything

Peterson Brothers-like watching them fight.

Evander Holyfield-round ten of Bowe-Holyfield I, etc.

Kelly Pavlik-Pretty fun to watch.

I'm tired of thinking, I'm sure there's more

Least favorites

Wladimir Klitschko-I'm not really concerned that he's not American, I can't have a list of fighters that I dislike and not have him on it, its just not right. Just to conform that little bit to the rules I won't include Daniel Ponce de Leon. Or Sam Peter.

Zahir Raheem-Boring boring boring, clench fall down clench fall down, whine.

Rocky Juarez-Has thrown 8 punches in his last 14 fights combined.

I'm sure there's more.

How the hell can juan diaz be classed as american

oh thats right because he lives there.........


with that logic you could say jude law, maria sharapova and lennox lewis are all american!!!

[OumaFan]

Juan Diaz was born in America, none of the other people you mentioned were. Lived there his whole life. There's been an argument about this before with ICB but if you're born in a country I consider you of that country.

But then Vitali would be Soviet, and they don't exist anymore.

Mavrovic would be Yugoslavian, but they don't exist anymore??

Could we be saying that he's not American because his last name is Diaz? Someone didn't do their research!

Anyway, top 5 favs - Shane Mosley, Andre Berto, JUAN DIAZ!, Malignaggi and David Diaz. Mosley cos he's just class. berto for the potential excitement factor, Juan Diaz cos of his come forward style, Malignaggi cos of his attitude and heart and D.Diaz cos of his post fight interview language!

Least favs - Any of the heavyweights bar Arreola!
