I love Roy Jones Jr, man...his speed, power, reflexes, angles etc etc...The guy was phenomenal!!
I watch his old school fights on a daily basis (literally about to watch his fight against lou del valle)...the guy was a total beast.
Runner up..I would probably say Prince Naseem for similar reasons.
Right now I gotta go with the man, GGG. I read a few negative posts on here regarding him lol but he's a straight killer.
I wish he was a little younger because I see him slowly down and eventually losing within a year or two. I like his mindset...he's coming to take you out.
He's a great to watch.
Who you got? Hit me up
I want to ask a question about Bellew so, how do you see his chance against Briedis&Usyk and Drozd? Oleksandr Usyk is my favorite fighter in cruiserweight division.
I dont think highly of Bellew, i think hes decent and has proven himself explosive vs decent opponents but the guy is not near an elite fighter, and he got destroyed by Adonis Stevenson who most people love to hate on (one of my fav fighters and one of the best atm)
All the other champs @ Cruiser would molest him
Usyk would embarass Bellew then destroy him
Lebedev would just batter Bellew relentlessly
Mairis Briedis seems like he is the real deal, and his destruction of Olanrewaju Durodola was impressive, imo he beats Bellew easily
As for Drozd he has proven himself multiple times and he would expose Bellew badly, i dont see any way how Bellew can win that fight
Not sure what Hayes next step is, i think Haye is terrible human being but he is a tremendous fighter and i think he can beat any1 @ heavyweight atm, especially now that he has grown in to the weight
Just watched Bellew - Flores and Bellew threw mad shots @ Haye in the post fight interview, but im hoping the WBC does not let Bellew face haye next cause Mairis Briedis and Grigory Drozd are next in line
As for Haye he said he would fight Briggs but he hasnt stayed true to his word yet again and the fight looks unlikely
The best possible fight with Haye atm would be vs AJ or Wilder imo but i doubt neither wanna give Haye the payday hes looking for, as for the outcome
If the fight were ton happen next i think Haye would destroy AJ (hes very talented but still a bit too raw for some1 of Hayes experience, and his chin is kind of suspect)
Wilder vs Haye would be more competitive and id favor Wilder
I find it so funny that everyone is clowning David Haye now, hes getting molested on social media...
Briggs, Bellew etc are all roasting him 24/7
But thats what happens when u make promises u dont intend to keep
Thanks for good informations dude :) You say Briggs and Bellew are all roasting him 24/7. I follow Lucas Browne on twitter and he sometimes challenges to Briggs, Haye etc... They've funny :)
Some people says Joshua's chin suspect as you. I agree with you on this issue. Joshua is just 27 and he has great potential. The future looks good for him so heavyweight division too old. Klitschko(40), Povetkin(37), Ortiz(37), Haye(36), Pulev(35)...

My current favorite boxer is the homie Andre Ward by far. Now I like a lot of other folks as well,seriously I have like 30 I like. Canelo,Lomachecko,Golovkin,Killer Kov,Tyson Fury,Carl Frampton,Terrance Crawford,Spence,One Thyme are the elite guys. Then guys like Andy Lee and Gabriel Rosado,who ain't world class but still tough guys who come to bang it out. Also Macklin and John Duddy.
I gots most of the old guys in my sig I like. Floyd ain't a on it rn but I'll edit in time
Sugar Ray Leonard and Holyfield. 2 atg's. Drove 5 hrs to Vegas with friends for Hagler vs Leonard. The build up for that fight was like no other . Today's fighters lomachenko, ggg,Spence and Joshua
Past: Hagler. I liked him ever since I was 5. Then I grew up and got to learn more about him and his career. I just love his macho man's man attitude. He fought against boxing politics many times and always had a chip on his shoulder. And he took on all comers. Also a very well rounded fighter, great skills, power and a chin.
Present: I don't know. Pacquiao was my favorite fighter for the last 13 years, but his career is winding down and he should be retired. So I would say it's between GGG, Lomachenko and Crawford. All great fighters, but not one really stands out about the others at the moment.
Honorable mentions: Kovalev and Spence.
yeah dude I watched that video, so his technical skills too great. He use hook, jabs, uppercut and everything... Today giant fighters just used jabs and im tired of this style. I wanna watch close fight like https://youtu.be/4OF71XYmmhI?t=1619 this moment.
David Haye deserves respect so who will be his next opponent? Do you have information on this issue?

It's a toss up between Pryor and Whitaker. Pryor was a savage inside and out the ring. Whitaker' defense and skills was special to watch. If I had to choose I would go with Pryor.
Presently, I like Lomachenko. I think he is the most gifted fighter today with Mayweather officially retired.
Ye i like Chagaev, one of my favorite fighters, hes the definition of a man.
And how can you not like a guy who slayed a fking giant!?
It was like watching a modern day David vs Goliath, real epic
While i dont like Haye for his hypocrisy and lying he also has my respect for slaying the beast.
This highlight of Ruslan is damn epic, and the music fits so perfect
One word: BADA$$

Past Sultan Ibragimov, Present(He was recently retired) Ruslan Chagaev.
Because they are thoroughbred fighters and they not look like basketball player so I am not fan of any fighter today. I miss them so much... Technique, Skills, Strenght, Strong Chin and more...

My top 5 favorite fighters, past or present
Azumah Nelson - My father's favorite fighter, so he was the first fighter that I took to.
Julio Cesar Chavez - to me, he fought like a Mexican Azumah Nelson
Roy Jones Jr - most athletically gifted fighter I'd seen put gloves on when I first saw him
Floyd Mayweather Jr - sublime talent, who was the first fighter I picked up on the subtleties of boxing craft watching.
Andre Ward - continuation of what I enjoyed seeing from Floyd, while also being the first local star, in my time, to launch in boxing; could kind of see it from the Olympics.
Currently its Francisco Vargas. Guy is really fun to watch, countering, always attacking, everytime it's a battle, not ducking anyone.
I hope he don't get punch drunk, he's young and skilled.
David Tua. His rise, and eventual loss on the big stage against Lennox Lewis, drew me into the sport as a kid. The emotional ride, seeing him demolish grown men, the excitement of seeing a Kiwi get a shot at the top, then cruel disappointment seeing him outclassed by a legend.. It had me hooked.
Now, almost 20 years later, another kiwi Samoan has come along, and will get his shot.
This one is tough, Roberto Duran or Pernell Whitaker for past.
Duran because of how he was able to maneuver himself on the inside, use head control and always be in position to throw and get his punches in. That, as well as his feints and how defensively equipped he was for his style. Prime Hopkins possessed the same appealing factors.
Whitaker because of how well rounded he was, exceptional inside fighter, great boxer, most precise body puncher I've ever seen and much like Mayweather, who I'll occasionally throw on this list as well, can beat you in a multitude of ways.
I'm gonna give my boy Sweet Pea a shoutout too! I wanted to keep my list short and simple but people are listing a lot so I'll add Sweet Pea to my list.
Past: Erik Morales, boy had balls.
Present: Canelo, besides the understandable hate and mismanagement of his career, my family is related to his trainers, we share the same home town in Mexico. My neighbor makes his clothes. My dad used to live with Chepo's dad.
I've been meaning to watch some more Erik Morales...
Nice link with Canelo
Muhammad Ali. The man had it all. All Time.
Present... I'd say pacquiao if it wasn't for him being a ***** the last year or so. I'd even go with Kovalev but that guy turned out to be a racist. So I can't really say anyone is a favourite but Frampton is edging his way up there.
