Who are your favorite fighters and why?

So the question is who are your favorite fighters and why are they your favorite. For me: 1) Deontay Wilder: because of his unbelievable self belief, he should not be as successful as he is in the ring with his extremely limited boxing ability but with self belief and a right hand from the depths of hell he is at the top of the sport. He is a true brawler like my unrefined style when I’m in the ring. 2) Anthony Yarde: the guy started late to boxing, seems to work very hard at his craft, has natural ability and that “it” factor that makes people want to watch. ( looks, personality and power) 3) Ivan Baranchyk: a new favorite for me for reasons not entirely related to boxing. I like how he throws his punches with bad intentions but the real reason is the dude looks just like me, I was watching his last fight with Petrov and my girlfriend said the same thing. And yours?

I no particular order. 1- Loma- great handspeed, awesome footwork, great ring iq. 2-Spence- relentless attacks to the body, great uppercut, powerful puncher. 3- Gassiev- After his last fight with Dorticus made me a believer. Awesome strength uppercuts,body attacks , can k/o with either hand. 4- GGG- great pressure fighter, awesome k/o power, iron chin. Horn- biased because im australian but love his toughness and will to win at any cost. 5- Wilder- very entertaining and that brutal right hand.

Ooh you're right. I forgot they all hold a piece of the green belt. Hopefully it all gets worked out this year. Year hopefully we get Ramirez-Prograis next, which is a very good fight. And then Taylor is meant to be having a final eliminator in the summer.

Even The Wolf Man? I don't know, man. I think Josh would be in way too deep there. https://photo.boxingscene.com/uploads/prograis.JPG I honestly think he’d bust Prograis up, that’d be a hell of a fight though, Prograis’ power is obviously legit but he’s a little crude with his offence. Taylor’s superior technical skills would be the key factor IMO, I think Taylor is a good enough fighter to negate that left hand, whilst I don’t think Prograis has the defensive ability to negate Taylor’s offence. They’re both going down the WBC route so hopefully this fight happens soon.

Roy Jones Jr. - Do I need to explain this? Ill tell you someone else I always loved to watch was Miguel Cotto. He wasnt the greatest fighter of all time but damn he was fun to watch.

Taylor's a real good prospect. I think him and Ryan will meet somewhere down the road. I think he’s already beyond prospect level especially after the Vasquez performance, I’d pick Josh to beat anyone at 140 now except for Mikey. I’m not sure they’ll ever meet tbh, Garcia looks like he’ll move through the weights but Taylor is huge at 140 and will probably be 147 fighter in a few years and I’m not sure Garcia will ever move up as far as 147.

F*ck yeah. I just saw that Gallimore will be facing Julian Williams next. I can't even find footage of Gallimore's last fight.

Not sure about favourites but Spence and Gallimore would be it I enjoyed watching all the top fighters in cahllenging fights. Bring all of them on. That's why I enjoy playing the Pick 'em game because it forces me to re-watch fights.

Yeah well to be real, to talk all of that **** to Wilder and then lay down and cower like a true b1 tch and refuse to get up is not a good look for anyone. Even if you are mentally touched like that z guy is. Z put up more resistance than Stiverne did in the rematch. -jus sayin

Like; Erislandy Lara Alexei Tishchenko(former amateur legend) El Bandera Roja Benavidez and sad but true, i dont like any heavyweight fighter right now. They are all ordinary men who can not leave a mark in boxing history.

Golovkin. A true PRO. Spence. I see great potential in this guy. I like his laid back demenor and he has that self confidence. Wilder surprisingly. I've only seen him fight a few times. The first time I thought he was a joke. In this last fight after he got hurt but came back I was impressed. He may not beat Joshua but I don't care. He's fun to watch. The POWER...

Spence- Probably the best at 147 and maybe future of the sport. Lara- Hated on for weak competition. Still a masterful boxer who I have never seen lose a fight. Charlos- Both exciting guys to watch. Both have KO power and show up to fight. Jacobs- Hard not to like Jacobs. He has shown not only the ability to brawl but the ability to box swiftly in spots. Danny- Say what you want about the Cherrypicker but he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport. Leo- Always enjoy watching Leo fight. He always produces fireworks. Wilder- Fun watching a heavyweight just knock guys' heads off. These are just a few. I like Rungvisai, Bud, Badou Jack, Abner, many many others.

Loma, GGG, spence, crawford, bivol, beterbiev, prograis, berchelt, gassiev, usyk, jacobs, josh taylor, and the future of yeleussinov out of the current active crop. I generally like good boxers with an active work rate who can hit, I also tend to like fighters more who carry themselves with respect.

Lomachenko- most skilled fighter I've seen in a long time. Very entertaining to watch Wilder- very critical of him in the past but im sold. Showed a ton of guts in the ortiz fight and of course has devastating power Sor rungvisai- looks and fights alot like pacquiao just without the blinding speed. Very fan friendly style and has beaten two of the very best fighters on the planet in back to back fights. And eats rats. Whats not to like?
