who is your favorite current or past fighter and why?

[CGM]

Current, I'd say Hopkins. He's a guy who has paid his dues and worked hard for what he achieved. I also appreciate a technical boxer who can be badass if need be.

For the past, i's a tough call. Probably I go with Hagler. He's a blue collar sort of guy with the true heart of a champion. Honorable mention to Arguello, Benitez, Curry, there's so many.

roberto hands of stone duran. the way he fought was incredible.a fearless warrior,with great skills .fought hard,partied hard, he was a wild man,my kind of dude. also upon reading his book hearing the storys of when one of his old rivals esteban de jesus became ill with the aids virus,duran found this out and came straight to his bed side,and broke down saying to him u will always be my champion.plus u hear the times he use to give his fight purse out to all the poor kids in the slums round his old neighborhood. in and out of the ring that guy is my hero
