    what do you look for in a fav fighter

    what do you look for in a fav fighter for me they have to have Boxing skills but they also have to be warriors aswell who have the balls to fight when push comes shove i dont appreciate all out brawlers how are exciting but have no skills to admire and i dont like Boxers that are GREAT Boxers but dont take chances

    and that is what my fav fighters have in common they can all Box but most importantly they can bring it aswell

    Leonard
    Cotto
    Norris
    Holyfield
    Barrera
    Trinidad
    Bowe

        when you watch Floyd fights when he was a SFW he was awesome but as a WW he is just boring it feels like you have been watching his fights for about 3 hours when you put them on

          there's quite a list on the criteria ie. technique, footwork, chin, stamina, heart etc...



          but one of the things that catches this fight fan's eye is aggression...when i see someone that can recognize his opponent fading and he's able to ruthlessly kick it into next gear, he's automatically put on the radar

            flair, balls, willingness to take risks.

              alot of things, but to me some of the most important are...heart, toughness, and leaving it all out there when the going gets tough.

                  i like watching cotto box...also margarito...wasnt a huge fan til after he left but i appreciated how Tito would go in for the kill


                  Terry Norris was awesome
                  Julian Jackson was a brilliant finisher
                  Prime Mike was evil
                  Duran carved his legend with his aggression
                  Marvin was a shark when he smelled blood


                  it goes on and on...all my fav fighters had.have that trait


                  like pacquiao now as well...whether he really has his opponent hurt or not, if he thinks he does, then the fight goes up another level

                    The thing that impresses me most is slick defensive skills. Pernell Whitaker comes to mind.
