Your top 5 fighters

[mike_tha_man]

i dont think many people regard him higher. its just his style of fighting, his attitude, his persona and just everything about him, in and out of the ring that people like about him. i like that he is always exciting to watch. not taking anyting away from Vasquez cus i like him too. and just because 1 fighter beats another, that doesnt mean that u have to like that 1 more. i still like Cotto more than Margarito. i dont think this stread is about who you rank higher but who you like more.

[GAME]

Marco Antonio Barrera

Mikkel Kessler

Joe Calzaghe

Paul Williams

Dan Santos


Just missing out but still favourites - Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto

. . . . . . and Oscar De La Hoya will be added to my favourites list if he beats Pac

So will Evander if he beats Valuev

Why do people regard Jhonny Gonzales higher than my man Israel Vasquez.

I've been following Gonzalez since he destroyed Elizondo on some HBO card back in '04. I don't think he is the better fighter than Vazquez, but he's always in the ring and he always brings it. Some highlights are he's knocked down Izzy more times than Rafa did total in the three wars they had he has fought 5 times this year 5-0 with 5 KOs. He knows how to finish and he's always in the fight. He's beat Montiel in his prime. Considering he's had 46 fights in 9 years you gotta love that. Plus he fights out here a lot, which makes him as close to a local boy as I can have.

The only pro boxer that's any good from Arizona that I know about is Jesus Gonzalez, and he has been very inactive, so I can't really back him.

Morales, Mayweather, and Trinidad are all among my Top 5 fighters of all-time, but I'll consider them all retired for the sake of this thread, although I suspect that all 3 will fight again at some point.

Cotto
Toney
Taylor
Kessler
Zab

[Trainer Monkey]

Hopkins,though I wish he'd retire
Hatton, I just like the way he fights
The Klitschko's
Chagaev, no reason just again,I like how he fights
Ann Wolf-though she's mainly retired now

[Dean Duke]

Skills 1st Heart 1st
Floyd jnr I Vasquez
JMM R Hatton
Kessler Pac Man
Cotto kats
Joe C ? hard call any suggestions

Such a hard question, I like all styles but will always go with the fighter who fights with his heart more so than ones who use their skills. No way am I saying that the fighters on the skills list have no heart because they have it in abundence its just they use all there skills to win 1st and if that don't work they will dig in and show they have plenty of toughness, heart, faith etc.

Same with the heart 1st list they have loads of skills but dont always use them prefering to take two to land one somtimes, which gives us fans a good fight with lots of action, TBH any fighter gets my upmost respect.

Why do people regard Jhonny Gonzales higher than my man Israel Vasquez.

The lists are fav. fighters...
Not who's the better of the 2.
So I you can't say people regard Jhonny higher then Izzy when the lists are about fav.

Now if we were listing rankings and Jhonny was higher then Izzy then I see your point.

[JazMerkin]

Would have PBF right at the top of my list, but seeing as he's 'retired'...

Bernard Hopkins (although I do wish he would retire on the Pavlik victory)

Librado Andrade (the Bute fight & his class afterwards sealed my admiration for the guy)

Steve Forbes (A guy who fights punchers 2-3 weight divisions above him & has still NEVER been down gets my respect)

Andre Berto (reminds me of a welterweight Tyson)

Roy Jones Jr (back in the day he woz da sh*t)

just missed out:

ODLH
Joe Calzaghe (simply becoz he has pissed me off majorly this year particularly with that shaky shit in the RJJ fight, before he would have been right after PBF)
Paul Williams
Joshua Clottey

[JT Rock]

1)Jeff Lacy
2)PBF
3)James Toney
4)Paul Williams
5)Andre Berto
6)David Haye

I put 6 even tho Floyd says he's retired we know he isint

Also I like to say its hard to define a top 5.. as I get older and gain in my appreciation for the sport my fandom expands over a multitude of fighters

Vitali Klitschko
SSM
Margarito
Johnson
Miranda
Calzaghe
Hatton
Pavlik
Andy Lee
JMM

I just love boxing as a whole
