Why do you like your top two favorite fighters?

[PRboxingfan]

My # 1 is Arturo Gatti (big suprise there). The most excting fighter in boxing P4P. And soon to be the top man at 140.

Next it is tough, Its a two way tie w/ Paul Malignaggi and "Irish" John Duddy and Wayne Mccullough and Joe Mesi coming in a close 3rd.

Where do you see Paul Malignaggi going? I think his hands are too brittle and he will end up having to retire early. He'll probably turn into a trainer or something, but I don't think he'll be around too long. I see you like those NY/NJ fighters, eh? LOL.

First off I would have liked to have seen Malignaggi on the Cotto undercard(That would have been great for the kid from Brooklyn to be fighting at MSG w/ the rest of the 140 prosepects), but he is waiting for his hands to heal. His last fight was in Dec. I think and from what Ive been reading he looks to be back sometime in July at the latest. Your right though he does have problems w/ keeping his hands from getting injured.

But I'll go back to my first pick which was Gatti, remember he always had problems w/ his hands too, among other things. Most recently he broke his hand in the 3rd Ward fight and re injured it in the Branco fight.

But the point is if Paulie gets the right medical treatment on his hands and stays healthy and works on his power I think he can be a legit condtender at 140 maybe possibly gettin one of the many belts out there. The man has good skills and great speed, would like to see him against some tougher opponets first. But I would not count him out, and neither would Paulie's ego.

And the reason why Im a big fan of the NY/NJ fighters is b/c Im from the area, Boardwalk Hall so far is my venue of choice but would love to see a fight at the Garden.

JL Castillo:
It is weird because I do not have much love for Erik Morales but i am a die hard JL fan. I think it is because he has gotten so little respect compared to many other mexican champions.
I love guys who can punch and take a punch and are not afraid to do either.

KT-I love this warrior, if you are going to beat him you will have to go thru hell to do it and not many fighters are willing to go thru hell to win a fight. Let's say Zab did get up...can you imagine a guy like Judah in a 12 round war with Zoo?

1. Arturo Gatti - Always gives you everything he has. Was once a brawler, but has developed into a pretty damn good boxer.

2. Vitali Klitschko - I would like to say he is the class of the HW division, but his surgery didn't help that argument. I think he would have beaten Rahman, but it would have been tough. I still say he is the best HW head-to-head and can clean out the division, but that will have to wait a while.

[Round 1]

I choose Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, both of them on the top spot. Their epic battles are true classics. These fights are a gift to any boxing fan.
They can spend the rest of their career swapping opponents but we'll always look forward to yet another encounter between these two.
Someone stated here that Morales was a computer nerd, yeap, he is, he has a boxing magazine on the web www box-latino.com. If you read spanish check it out, its pretty cool.

1st im going to have to pick Floyd Mayweather/RJJ- I have to admit the first boxer i eva saw was Naseem and i thought he was a badass back then. But with my newer re-intrest in boxing RJJ awed me with his reflexes. And now that hes gone my new idol for talent if Mayweather. I love the way he boxes and like RJ he preforms for the audience in the ring.

2- Kostya Tszyu, still dont know how to spell his last name correctly but he represents the motha land and even has my name. Hes also an mini tank when in action.

1. Felix Trinidad - One of the most exciting fighters of this era...He's a ko artist and knows how to finish a fighter that's hurt.

2. Marco Antonio Barrera - Another warrior that is not scare to trade and always gives his best...hopefully he will fight Pac again..

Trinidad made me a fan of his when I relized that he is fun to watch because he never backs down or quits. He is like a middleweight Mike Tyson.
