This is a simple one, and I'm particularly interested in answers from all you guys who post here regularly. You all know who you are. I want to get a picture of what type of fighters you like. Tell me why you like them if you want.
Calzaghe - IMO the best boxer in the world.
Kessler - Impressed me against Calzaghe, like his style, I think he's the best boxer around his weight class.
Pacquiao - Never fails to entertain, aggressive, been in several excellent fights against great opposition.
Floyd Mayweather - I know he's retired, but he was a pretty amazing boxer.
Nonito Donaire - IMO he could be a future P4P #1. He only has one really great victory, but his combination of speed, true power and technical ability will make him very tough to beat. The way he mixes up head and body punching reminds me of Floyd.
Margarito - Watched all of his and Cotto's fights prior to their bout. His style makes me laugh, what a fucking beast!
Amir Khan - I think the much maligned Khan has much going for him. I think he's still a kid really and he will be some boxer in a few years time.
Joe Calzaghe is the most entertaining boxer to watch and I would deffinatly rate him as #1 P4P.
He never fails a test, and I bet he will go off undefeated. The coolest thing about him is that he is so down to earth. He's a normal guy, with this exceptional talent. I really like him and his whole story. No doubt that he is a born fighter.
Second I'd say Mikkel Kessler, still a little unproved, but his talent and dedication is shining so much out of him. If he is given one more chance he'll prove it to all.
Kelly Pavlik is also very exciting to see, he keeps coming forward like Calzaghe, which is why I think the fight would be very interesting. Who would win the center of the ring? And his punching power is not a joke... But still it might be too overated. I mean Calzaghe had the same KO score than Pavlik when he were at 30 fights as far I know.
Mayweather is also very skilled, it's kind of cool to watch him, because he's good. Very good. Maybe a bit too "normal" for a boxer, not as unique as Calzaghe.
what a complete load of horseshit
1. Manny Pacquiao
2. James Toney (but retire already man!)
3. Paul Williams
4. Arthur Abraham (a shock, I know)
I really don't like that many fighters right now
Well Chad Dawson is easily my favorite fighter. I haven't seen anyone that possess as much skill in the higher weight classes for a very long time, maybe since a prime Jones. He can do it all. He can out box just about anyone, can bang on the inside and can be the aggressor as well, as demonstrated in his fight with Ian Gardner. Other favorites of mine are Toney, Hopkins, Wright, Taylor, Clottey, Donaire, Pacquaio, Campbell, Guzman, Casamayor, Dirrell, Williams and Kadsitas.
1. Margarito
2. The Golden Boy
3. Chavez Jr. (He will be great, youll see)
4. Hopkins...(Hes gettin old, but at one time he was unstopable).
5. Mayorga..(On the decline as well, but enjoy the swag.)
funny that you respond the way you do, and feel the need to act like a dictator to anyone who sees a different view, or hates on ur boys. i would think you would be opposite of that judging by the history, and what armenians went through. why act like the very thing you hate? childish if you ask me. many nationalities have been through very harsh things. look at jewish people, and what they went through..not sure anyone had it 1/2 as rough as them, and they never act a fool, or come out of their face. they don't feel the need to act as such. especially about infantile things. were you born in armenia?
yes sir I was
Because I know them personaly, because thats all we have man. Were you from? You American/Mexican/Puerto Rican/Pinoy? Were ever your from you have a lot to cheer for, you have a lot of boxing hero's or favorite fighters but all we have are three fighters. You count with them personally because back home in Armenia it's fucking rough just to get out that country, but these hommies went throught what you went throught and they made it big! You respect people like that, do you ever wonder why nobody fight OUT OF Armenia?

Bro our entire history we have been ganged up on! Even in LA bro everybody hates Armenians, back home-The Turks hate us, the Georgians hate us every body surrounding us except for Russia they hate us and have hated us. So that makes us naturally defensive/angry/ready to fucking kill at anyone point. This just has to do with our history. African-Americans have a similar history of always being hated on / but that history has made they a hopeful race. It's just the way we were made I guess!
your a tool calm down
Fair enough, But you don't need to insult anyone who makes a negative comment on them. It's their opinion.
We are a defensive race, we are naturally REALLY defensive/angry.
Nope, I'm English. Meaning our top fighters are Haye and Hatton, and maybe Khan for the future. Of those 3, I am a fan of 1 (Haye), I like watching Khan fight but don't like him and want him KTFO and am pretty much inbetween on Hatton.

I'm not big on Hatton either, he's more for them ooop north imo. I basically am a bit dubious to how he ducked Witter, he really fucked him up, really. No mans destiny should be in another mans hands like that and Hatton refused to fight him.
I used to be a big Hatton fan, then I liked him again, then after Mayweather he carried on being a bitch with Witter so now i'm kinda like...I just don't care. He wouldn't fight Witter because Witter said "One day" at some award ceremony and all that shit!? Cry me a fucking river :bottle:
Witter might not be all that good, but Hatton still came up with every excuse not to fight him.

Why do you take any negative comment about an armenian (SP?) fighter so personally?
