    the 140 lb Miguel Angel Cotto, I thought of him as a big 140 pounder the same way I look at Vic Ortiz. But when he moved to 147 pounds and saw that he was undersized in that division and was quite vulnerable I started rooting for him to the point of fanaticism. The man is genuine and humble and will always be one of my all time faves. Someday when I visit PR hopefully I could meet him in person and shake his hands

    Watching him hop, leap, clown and resist fortitude vs Azumah Nelson made me loath Whitaker. Then watching him get battered and walk in on Tito made me salute him. Long process but he's one I've come around on.

    Shane Mosley

    Roy Jones jr. He earned it after Calzaghe blood letting and needing to struggle on, ride his name etc but his self absorbed delusional hypocritical rants during Williams vs Lara make me yearn for a rematch.

    I gotta admit that I was a Sweet Pea fanboy from the word go and never stopped.

    Shane I just never really got. A good fighter of course, but I never saw the great one others did.

    It is easier to see now as he nears his end, but looking back hasn't Cotto been what we want out of our fighters? Fit, tough, daring in the fights he took and highly skilled?

    This bloke, right here; is where I thought I've never liked his style or lack of thought but I love his heart and sheer guts, he proved it more and more as his time went on.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Klitschko for me. I remember enjoying the corrie sanders fight over and over. And i was angry about the way Vitali acted after the fight. Now though i respect them both even if I'm not a fan per se.

    Besides that I have only really been hardcore into boxing for about seven years so i still dislike pretty much everyone I ever disliked

    I am slowly starting to appreacite Khan as he is taking on the best that he can.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
