    Who do you like the fighters you do?

    What draws you to them? Their style, personality, location or what?

    Joe Calzaghe I guess I can relate to him, he only lives a few miles away from me and is one of the greatest sportsmen Wales has ever had. I think he's a nice guy too, people see him as arrogant but to get to the top you have to have confidence. His style is sloppy at times but I've only seen him in one really ugly/ boring fight with that being Hopkins so he brings excitement too.

    I also like Roy Jones Jr, I think Jones is a very good speaker and he gets his point across well. Jones is a genuine nice guy and in his prime he was a monster, very good to watch with great handspeed. I've seen nearly all of his fights and for natural ability he is one of the, if not the best I've seen.

    Both fighters are inspiring to me in different ways.

    B-hop all the way.! He lives SO clean, he's a gladiator who have dedicated his entire life to fighting and nothing else. He's 44 years old and a contender for the p4p still.. The man is just plain amazing.

        Random but I'm watching Calzaghe new DVD now and his crib is nice!!!

        His en-suite is huge. There was a bikini on his bath tub and he said "Yep, as you see I like to wear bikinis during the day, it's my fettish."



        You can't deny he is funny when he wants to be.

          I love how Miguel Cotto is so reserved. He doesn't talk ****, he doesn't seek attention, he just goes about his business. I love fighters like that, and it's why I like him so much more than Trinidad. To be honest I don't really like Trinidad.

          And he fights the same way, with such controlled aggression. He's methodical and versatile.

                - good sportsmanship
                - exciting style (skillful aggressiveness and KOs)
                - showing up in best shape
                - having heart, being able to come back from adversity, like Calzaghe has in several fights, and Wlad has in his career
                - good character outside the ring (clean life, no crime, drug abuse etc)
                - not trash talking in a degrading way about opponents (funny trash talk is okay)
