Who is your favourite fighter and what do you people like about him? My favourite fighter is Winky Wright. I like his style and his fighting spirit. He's a gentleman outside of the ring and he inpires me as a fellow brother to train hard and utilise the skills i have as a fighter. His defense is good as he rarely takes big hits and he has never been stopped even though he has had a few scares in his career. I loved the Shane Mosley fights and i loved the Fernando Vargas fight too. Those fights show Winkys Championship talent and heart to me.
Peace..............
No brother i don't think Golota is a great fighter too but in the eye's of a true fan he will be. Not many like my boy Winky but i will love and respect him all way through his career to the end like i have so far. I've been to most of his venues and met him several times. He isn't great to alot of people but he sure is to me.
Massive respect for writing in such a insightful way of why you like those fighters. I have massive respect and love for all of them. Winky and Trinidad will be a amazing fight to see for fans alike worldwide.
Peace...............
If he can say Golota's a great fighter, I can say he's not.
After all.....who has the better case, he or I ?
Why do I like who I like ?
Trinidad - Love the way he fights. Love the way he throws his punches.....perfectly. Love how patient & accurate he is. Love the way he hurts a guy, & then begins to steadily take him out.
Corrales - The guy is so tall, yet throws the shortest power-shots you'll see. He's a guy who has serious limitations, but will always be in a fight because of those lethal bombs.
Hopkins- The craftiest S.O.B. I've seen in years. An ageless wonder who just knows how to win.
He knew he couldn't stand at long range & box with the southpaw Keith holmes.....so he got in close & disrupted Holmes rhythm, stole his heart, with his rough-ass style.
In his next fight, he uses the perfect plan to dismantle the sports' best offensive fighter (Trinidad). Doesn't waste a second in there....making every Tito miss get paid back.
Hopkins is a P-R-O.
Yo brother this thread isn't about dissing others favourite fighters. I'm happy with the response i've got so far although i wish some of you would have said why you like a particular fighter.
Peace................
Andrew "The Powerful Pole" Golota
Unbelievebly talented in the sport, great fighter
I like the strength he has, and he's intimidating as hell
Andrew Golota is the furthest thing from a "great" fighter.
He had the talent to be one.....but has a $.50 brain, & a $.10 heart.
The "Baby Faced Assassin" Marco Antonio Barrera. I just love his style and the fact that when everyone counts him out he seems to come back and have his greatest victories.
My all time favorites were Salvador Sanchez (for dumping Wilfredo Gomez in his prime and Azumah Nelson in his youth) and Aaron Pryor (for trashing the great Alexis Arguello twice)
My favorites now are Pacman, Felix, and Tzyu :) ;) :p
Vitali Klitschko. Mostly because he's the only one in the Heavyweight devsion to really show the potential of greatness. I hope he sticks around for a while.
