I never said Hatton was my all time fave; he'd probably be in my top 15 all time. Hatton and Pavlik and Margarito were all my current faves; and RIcky still is a current fave. But all time is different. And Pavlik got owned by Bernard so what's your point? Ricky was still on my fave list after Floyd used him as a pinball; I like fighters who can't box and like to get punched over and over, it's entertaining![]()
Leon Spinks - Only because he beat Muhammad Ali. (special mention)
Ruberto Duran - Couldn't wait to see the next opponent get Ko'd.
Luisito Espinosa - Only world class Filipino fighter at the time i could cheer for.
Manny Pacquiao - Hoped he could prove to do as good as Epinosa but got a whole lot more.

I had already posted here a while back, but I need to add another fighter to the list: Manny Pacquiao.
Aside from being an exciting and humble champion, Manny did two things that gave him instant favoritism in MY book:
1. He derailed DLH's "legacy-cementing" plans in brutal, humiliating fashion. Loved every minute of it.
2. Left no doubt as to the ridiculousness of Hatton's claim to be fighting for p4p # 1 status. Just how laughable that was must have become clear to him as he was staring up at the ceiling.
So... some of Pac's obnoxious fans aside, Manny still makes my new list of favorite fighters of all time.
