What is or was it about your favourite fighter or fighters that made u a fan ,
Ray Leonard was a fighter that i first modelled my style on a fighter who used the jab & had good movement who was hard to hit ,bascially a very sound technical Boxer who fought & beat the best in his era & was'nt afraid to mix it up most notably against Hearns 1,Duran,Kalule
Terry Norris cause it was the passing of the tourch to another great fighter when he beat my Hero Ray Leonard ,Terry was such a skilled fighter aswell, IMO he had as good a technical Boxing ability as Floyd Mayweather & a prime Sugar Ray but Terry did'nt have the complete package IE durability but his Career made up for that in excitment ,Terrific to watch
Barrera what can u say about this guy except for Legend ,a tactically astute Boxer /fighter with the heart of a true Warrior,some memorable fight over the years Hamed ,Morales 1,1st time i saw Barrera he destroyed our British champ Paul Lloyd in 1 round i think LOL:owned:
Holyfield for making every fight u watched a spectical he was never in a bad fight in his prime LOL ,a true Legend Heart of a Lion
Riddick Bowe ,one of the most skilled Heavyweights ive ever seen quick ,powerfull ,great Jab ,good inside very entertaining to watch & a very funny personality
RJJ Just because he brings the same kind of Flash & excitiment that Sugar Ray brought to Boxing, Roy was amazing when he let his hands go a bit frustrating when he would carry some guys for 12 rounds instead of finishing them ,stillone of my favourites to watch though
the fighters i enjoy watching all have something in common except for RJJ & SRL who were less of Brawling kind lol , they were all Technically skilled Boxers but they were also warriors who were exciting to watch ,i like to watch Skilled fighters that can mix it up I dont think u can beat these type of fighters for entertainment u get Boixng & brawling
i've been in boxing all my life, but barrera was the guy that just made me fall in love with the sport.
dignified, mistake-filled dude with a heart big enough to suffice for 5 guys.
how he was written off in the hamed fight, and changed up his style to that of a master boxer was just so impressive that i was without words.
Cotto & Pavlik are 2 of my Favourite fighters today as u said no bullshit head down hands up knock the other guy out ,old style :fing02:
Hell yeah and I am also a Terry Norris fan, him and Pernell Whitaker were my guys when I was younger always enjoyed there fights!!!!
Erik Morales--WARRIOR, Still wanting to fight even on E!!!!
Pernell Whitaker--I was younger, but he was my favorite, slick, good defense, no excuses!!!!
Diego Corrales--Heart of a champion, always liked him but maybe even more after Castillo 1.
Miguel Cotto--Aggressive, body attacker, humble, straight forward no bullshit!!!!
Honorable Mentions: (Pavlik, Miranda, Barrera, Pacquiao, Wright, Rafeal Marquez, Isreal Vazquez, Antonio Margarito, MIKE TYSON)

HAGLER ALL TIME, AND PAVLIK CURRENT! bOTH- BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HEART! they may not be the most technical, or pysical, but they come through with the heart, and determination!
Erik Morales - pure pride and fury. take alot to give alot. never ran from an opponent.
Juan Manuel Marquez - the most beautiful combinations ive seen live. offensive strategist
Zab Judah- Never afraid to fight anyone, his heart is as big as his mouth.
are u for real Zab Judah :pat:
Honestly, all my guys were just a random attraction.
The first time I saw them, I just was like, "Damn, I really hope they win!"
Forrest vs. Mayorga II was the first time I saw Vernon.
Wright vs. Taylor was the first time I saw Winky.
Casamayor vs. Vargas was the first time I saw Joel.
Really, it was as simple as that.
Just to name a few...
Miguel Cotto - Power, Speed, Aggression, Skills, and Technique
Kelly Pavlik - K.O.'s, K.O.'s, and K.O.'s
Ricky Hatton - Aggression, Heart, and Vicious Body Blows
Another vote for Juan Manuel Marquez, a total pro who never loses his cool. He also showed incredible heart coming back from three knockdowns and a badly broken nose to mostly outbox Manny Pacquiao.
Calzaghe-Never backs down, almost always on the attack, very exciting.
Lewis-Beat everyone put in front of him. Never really ducked anyone
Hagler-Need I explain?
Liston-Beast, great, strong jab, better than people give him credit for, and he has an interesting past as well.
Wright-Great overall fighter, unpenetrable defense, never got dominated.
Erik Morales - pure pride and fury. take alot to give alot. never ran from an opponent.
Juan Manuel Marquez - the most beautiful combinations ive seen live. offensive strategist
Zab Judah- Never afraid to fight anyone, his heart is as big as his mouth.
Rafa Marquez-with skills,power, and heart wat more could you ask for,plus the vulnerability adds suspense
Juan Manuel-skills,heart, and again vulnerablility adds suspense
Juan Diaz-Gets better every fight its unreal
Jose Navarro never takes a lose or robbery to heart and goes back to the gym and comes back even stronger. Will box but is not shy to trade shots.
Jorege Arce action packed fighter and funny how sometimes he taunts or talks to the fighters to fight with him.
theres a lot more but i hardly talk about these guys so i mention them
