    I always cheered against Hatton, Klit bros, and Joe C, but I have become a big fan of all of them over the years. I could never stand Lennox Lewis back in the day, but he is another guy I really ended up cheering for. I used to be a big B-hop fan, but I cant cheer for the "I wont ever lose to a white guy" bull****.

        Green's next opponent is:

        Samuel Miller- the limited power puncher who got exposure in his sea-saw battle with Darrell Woods on, I believe, Friday night fights last year. Miller went on to lose a split decision against Woods, and then a consecutive SD loss right after to a 12-0 fighter names Brian Vera (who I've never seen). Miller has power, but he's quite limited; that much he's already shown.

        All in all it's a big step down from the likes of Edison Miranda. I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to call Miller a chump, but fighting him- again on ESPN2-shows me Green's handlers want to milk him for exposure without making him step up in class again. If only his mouth could admit what his opponent choices already are; that he's got some progress to undergo before his ego can shine like it wants to.

          Mine would be Shane Mosley.

          Actually, I switched twice on him. At first I did not like him because he beat DLH. But hen after a while I came to respect him as he seemed to be a decent guy and perhaps the fastest puncher I had ever seen.

          Then when I found out his name was connected with the BALCO scandal and reportedly started doping prior to the DLH bout I lost any respect I had for him.

              Mayweather after Hatton fight, if he fights the prime in WW division he may go down as one of my top 5 favorite fighters all time.

              If not my respect will dwindle

                Ricky Hatton. Never liked him at all and only usually watched his fights if there was someone else on the same card I wanted to see, but his last four fights I have really come to like the guy. Especially after watching 24/7.

                  Do you want to take anymore action on the Haye fight?

                      I didn't like Calzaghe at first because it seemed like he was ducking Kessler when he fought Manfredo but he stepped up and proved me wrong.

                      Joe isn't my favorite fighter but I have respect for him.
