[SweetPea]

I think it's funny that just about everyone who's posted in this thread has listed either Barrera or Morales among their favorites, yet I haven't seen anyone who's listed both of them.
I guess that's the sign of a true rivalry. If you root for one, it's awfully hard to bring yourself to root for the other guy, even if you've got respect for them.

[Tito BHB]

Fave.

1. Tito a pretty large margine between 1 and two..

2. Toney
3. Roy jones jr 2,3,4,5 Very very close together.. and very hard to define who is above who
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Marco antonio Barrera


The rest cannot be put into order ..But i love the fighters..

Arce
Hatton
Judah
De la Hoya
Calderon
Vasquez
Morales
Pac
Gatti
collazo
Marciano
Duran
Lewis
Cotto
Boom boom.. Both!!
Malignaggi

Overrated..

Calzaghe
Tarver
Johnson
valuev
Briggs..
Most heavyweight prospects out there..I.e the ibragimovs, austin, fraudley etc..
Ademek... Fair play he was mighty exciting to watch..But no world beater
Mora..
Plenty more..

[The Rookie Fan]

Favs

SRL
Duran
JCC
Wilfredo Gomes (KO% Just scary)
Tyson Before he got arrested
Tito Trinidad (The only two men who beat him are currently top 10 P4P)
Eric Morales

Current Favs
PACMAN
Rafael Marquez
Shane Mously
Barrera (There I named both lol)
Oscar DLH (I'm a Tito fan not a De la Hoya hater, his fights are alwais fun, I wish he and Tito would go at it again, it would be a much better fight than the first IMO)
Jorge Arce Fun to watch

Overrated (I like most of the fighters on this list, but they are overrated non-the-less)
Oscar DLH (Much is made about his titles in six weight divisions but who really thinks he was the real champion on all of them, certanly not me. Also, name me one great fighter in his prime he didn't eather lose to or given a very very very close decision.)

PBF (I don't expect him to beat DLH, but if he would unify the welterweight division then I would say he is not overrated. He is good but he needs more names on his resume)

Tyson after he came back ( He won a couple of fights with a couple of bums and everyone yelled "Tyson is back!". The trueth is he was never back.

Cotto ( I like this guy but for a man who has yet to beat a champion for the title (both his titles were vacant when he won them) he is given way to much credit. Like PBF he should try to unify the welterweight division and get more names on his resume.)

The entire heavy weight division...
