Ok I know I know, I've started like four threads today but I like to see what people think about different things, and I know this thread has probably been created thousands of times before but....
Who is/are your favorite fighters and why?
Mine, in no order
DLH for giving a good name to Mexicans, and destroying Mayorga
Vargas for showing the true heart of a real fighter by taking on anyone
Trinidad for destroying everybody, and his stamina, he looks energetic from the opening - closing round
Jose Luis Castillo for his war against Corrales and KO the second time, not to mention BEATING Mayweather
Arturo Gatti for his heart and all the wars in his carrers
Mike Tyson for putting everybody to sleep
Ali for his intelligence
Barrera for his wars and fearlessness
Marciano for his incredible carrer
Julio Cesar Chavez for showing that Mexicans are true fighters
James J. Braddock for his heart and will
And more but can't think right now.
Ronald Winky Wright-
You can't find a better technician than winky. He knows how to box and he knows the style to beat all opponents. He is very defensive but he has plenty of offense which is an amazing skill of itself. It is hard to find a boxer that does both O and D and Winky is the only one I know of. He is confident and calm in the ring and shoes awesome ring generalship. I can't think of a better BOXER.
Nigel Benn - most exciting fighter that breathed air, nothing quite like a Benn fight
Mike Tyson - my hero in the mid-80's, and I'm one of few who understands him
James Toney - always loved his attitude, not to mention ability
Ricky Hatton - genuine, and most exciting fighter since Nigel Benn
My 2 all time favorites are:
1.Sugar Ray Robinson--Plain and simple, the best ever. I love watching his old fights. Fought the best of his era and beat them all.
2.Bernard Hopkins--Didn`t always have the exciting fights but was the best at 160 since Hagler. Plus he destroyed Tarver, who I despise.
Current favorites are
1. Eric Morales--Love his heart and fearlessness. True Warrior
2. Arturo Gatti--Same as El Terrrible. Plus he`s Canadian.
3.Cory Spinks--Like his slick southpaw style. Plus, even after all he`s done he doesn`t get respect like he should. I think he`s under rated
4.Oscar DeLaHoya--He`s one of the few good things about the sport, as far as the public is concerned. Plus he`s a great fighter. Boxing needs the golden boy more than he needs boxing.
5.Jermain Taylor--Seems to have a lot of class and is willing to fight anyone. Plus he`s only gonna get better.
MORALES hands down favorite fighter of all time

If youre going to reply with some stupid ass comment and an issue you just can't let go, then don't reply at all because you make yourself look stupid. Anyways I squashed the issue between myself already. I am not going to argue with little kids like you anymore.
Some more,
The Marquez brothers for their skillz and ferociousness and Bernard Hopkins for his skills and the only person ever to knock out Felix Trinidad.
Right Now:
Floyd Mayweather:For the skills he shows in the ring and his incredible dedication to the sport.
Ricky Hatton: Great guy, and fighter who puts it all on the line.
Jermain Taylor: Class act, wants to fight the best.
(Honrable mentions Jeff Lacy, Ivan Calderon, Luiz Collazo)
Of All Time:
Ali: speaks for itself.
ODLH: Took on anyone, one of the classiest guys in the business.
Roy Jones Jr: Incredible, Incredible skills in his prime.
Mickey Ward: Never close to being a top fighter, but the man has more heart then ive ever seen in a fighter, and has been in many classic battles.
Pernell Whitaker: Need to see more of him, but his mastery of the sweet science is something to behold.
Marvin Hagler: Greatest Middleweight of all time imo.
(Honarable mentions: Marciano, Foreman)

These are my current active, favorite fighters...
Martin Castillo- My pops manages him and he's very good. He can outbox you and out brawl you. He makes exciting fights and is a great person.
Israel Vazquez-My pops manages him and I think he's very good. He makes exciting fights and seems to be improving in each fight.. He's gotten alot better over the years, especially since working with Freddy Roach. He's also a great person!
I've seen both, (Castillo and Vazquez) move up in the rankings and eventually become world champions. I've seen them lose some and seen them win alot more....I've seen up close how hard they work and the dedication they both have. I've seen the sacrafices they have made....I'm on their side no matter what, win or lose! I consider them close friends. :)
