    Who Are Your Favourite Active Boxers?

    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 ****ing 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.

        Kessler. No explanation needed.
        Calzaghe. Not that I think he's that entertaining, because he isn't, but his style is unique and posesses a difficult assignment for anyone hoping to beat him. From a tactical standpoint he is brilliant.
        Vitali Klitschko. I have seen both of the Klitschkos since they where novices. I always liked Vitali the better. He is menacing.
        Arthur Abraham. Again here we have another undefeated fighter who posses a difficult style and some sick power to go with it.

        Honorable mentions goes to Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik, Edison Miranda and lots more....

            Bernard Hopkins
            James Toney (even though I think he should hang 'em up)
            Kelly Pavlik
            Mikkel Kessler
            Nate Campbell (ever since the way he beat Diaz)
            Manny Pacquiao

            If Gayweawther was active, I'd put him on the list.

            I've only seen him fight once but Katsidis is awesome to watch!

              One day Tunney I'm going to get you to write me a list of obscure Euro boxers who are good, because I like to be in the know. Sadly at the moment i have my hands full catching up on the careers of about a million fat yanks, but Europe's day will come.

                    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.
