[mspiegelo]

Okay this forum is getting out of hand so lets change it up. Name 5 of your CURRENT fav fighters and a brief reason why.
...in no particular order

1. Zab Super Judah (blessed with speed/power + you never know whats going to happen in his fights)
2. Miguel Cotto (great punching power and a terrific body puncher)
3. Jorge Linares (love his style and WILL be a hall of famer)
4. Juan Manuel Marquez (One of the most technical boxers around)
5. Erik Morales (rumor that hes coming back..love his fire and passion)

Its hard because a lot of my favorite fighters who are active are past their prime, so I'm gonna do the seniors tour and the current cats. and the up-and-comers..

Seniors Tour (the ever-lingering past)
1) Roy
2) B-Hop
3) Toney
4) De La Hoya
5) Sugar Shane

The Present
1) Pacman
2) Zab Supah Judah (he falls off if he can't beat clottey. this is his last chance to stay in the elite)
3) Vasquez
4) Kelly Pavlik
5) margarito/cotto (tie)

The Future
1) Andre Dirrell
2) Andre Berto
3) Juan man lopez
4) Guzman
5) Yuriokis Gamboa

Yeah about Zab he is like an detantor that doesnt work right.

You dont know when he is going to explode.

imagine if he KOs Clottey in less than 4 rounds? I think he can if he is really focused

Juan Manuel Marquez- He's an extremely smart fighter and just seems really accurate on his punches.

Manny Pacquiao- His fights are usually always exciting. Plus I like his relentless style mixed up great speed. Plus as of recent he's really developed an overall good game.

Christian Mijares- Just love how slick he is and his combinations are a thing of beauty.

Paul Williams- I like his punch output and his height and length makes it usually a interesting fight for anybody and to see how they try to attack him.

Kelly Pavlik- Ever since the Miranda fight i've really gained a lot of respect for him. He comes to fight no matter what and seems humble and the kind of guy that wouldn't take stardom really seriously.

Cotto - Love the way he fights and I've got even more respect for him now than before the Margs fight.

Israel Vasquez - He's a warrior with a never say die attitude. You hit him hard, he'll hit you harder.

Pacquiao - All action, best p4p fighter today. Never in a boring fight.

Rafeal Marquez - among the most technicly proficient boxers, but willingb to take chances and mix it up.

Margarito - I might not have said Tony before the cotto fight, but I loved his never say die attitude and his relentless pressure. He was pur entertainment.

[eazy_mas]

Tarver comebacks fight and style
Mijares very skilled and style
Quintana skilled and style
Ouma never say die attitude
Barrera his comeback fight and his double jab then left hook

am I the only guy who like these fighters?

there is another guy who mentioned Mijares is even weird to see him smile before, during and after the fight. You rarely see him not smiling.

honorable mentioned is David Diaz

[krispy kreme]

Really in no order but Cotto is my favorite right now, & Mosley is my all time favorite.

1. Miguel Cotto (all around excellent fighter, disciplined)
2. Joshua Clottey (His combinations (double & triple left hooks especially are very sharp & accurate, great chin and good power.)
3. Shane Mosley (Speed, his style, and sportsmanship)
4. Zab Judah (Speed, funny when he talks trash, movement)
5. Yuriorkis Gamboa (reflexes, power, speed, very high paced)

I also like Pavilk & Jermain

[abadger]

Calzaghe - Exciting style
Pacquiao - Exciting style
Kessler - Superb orthodox boxer
Margarito - Wins by force of will
Williams - Still waiting to see what he can actually do

[revs1227]

1 ricky hatton ..dont have 2 say much exciting down to earth ..can be insane ..
2 winky wright skill skill skill ..cant be beaten decisively
3kelly the ghost ..simple fighter tough as ****
4joe calzaghe ..speed experience every1 hates on him
5zab judah =brooklyn fastest ever ,...every hates on him also

[Dynamite Kid]

1 Cotto cause he is a Warrior a smooth relentless force of nature with precision combination punching to the head and body

2 Dawson cause along with Guzamn and possibly this kid Daniel Jacobs he looks one of the most skilled fighter around today

3 Andre Ward he just reminds me of Roy Jones a bit with his sharp reflexes and fast hands he has good movement aswell which i like in a fighter

4 Andy Lee i like the way he fights at range hooks off the jab and then throws his right hand behind it straight down the pipe as they say lol ,he is just an allround technically sound long range fighter ,i know he has his flaws which all fighters do but i like the way he does buiness behind his southpaw jab etc

Manny Pacquiao. He's my Blood and Guts warrior. He keeps going stronger and improving. I like his I-don't-care-what-happens-next attitude.

Miguel Cotto. Like the Pacman, he's also a humble person but a mean mofo in the ring. He lost to Margarito because of bad game plan. He will be back stronger than ever.

Kelly Pavlik. I also like his attitude. He trains old school. He's my #1 p4p hard puncher.

Erik Morales. Simply because he beat Pac in his prime. And I respect him so much for that. Pac became a two-fisted fighter because of him (Manila Ice).

Gerry Penalosa. He's the best technical boxer Philippines ever produced. He's a great mentor. He is the Yoda of boxing...
