Fighters your not a fan of but admit their talented..

[Shadows]

Lol, Im the opposite when it comes to this. fighters like froch make up for their lack of talent with heart and desire. To me that is what its all about. I'd rather watch someone with less talent and all the heart in the world than someone who is super talented and willing to just sc**** by because of it.

What was it Rocky Balboa said to Tommy Gunn? "Heart and soul baby, heart and soul!!"

I thought he said, "I didn't hear no bell."

Yeah, I generally agree about what you said in regards to heart. Brian Minto's performance against Arreola and Takayama's against Gonzalez were awe inspiring stuff IMO. Takayama is actually a speedy, quality boxer but was simply out gunned against the best strawweight in the world but never quit. I say the same about Cotto in the Pacquiao fight.

However, in Froch's, case his confidence is borderline arrogance, and he's annoying in that respect.

I like watching those boxers that you can show your kids and say look try copying what he does. Would you tell your young son, that boxes, to copy what Froch does or to copy what Mayweather does?

I just prefer smart boxing over the heart and soul type of boxing.

Of course I'd want my kid to have the talent of a Floyd or a Roy. But not everybody can be talented like that. NOBODY can take your heart or will unless you let them. That would be what I would try to teach them. To me (just my opinion) everything else is secondary.

Exactly. Like I said, this is only my opinion, but I feel like I can connect more with guys who have to do it the hard way. That isn't a knock on god given ability, just my preference.

I've only watched him fight 3 or 4 times and haven't really developed an opinion on him other than I like his "never say die" attitude.

I never liked Oscar Dela Hoya, but I admit he always fights the top opponents which I give props for.

I'd say Mayweather, JR! Unbelievable talent and skills! The quickest feet and upperbody movement! An elite counterpuncher!

But I don't like the way he brags his gift as a boxer and picks easy fights in the past 3 years. He could be the greatest boxer if only he chose to really fight the best!

I couldn't even understand why he would like Pacquiao to be tested olympic style, when there is a big possibility that he could defeat Pacquiao w/ or w/o PEDs(if the accusation is really true, in fact.)

Joe Calzaghe.

Very good fighter, just too damn ugly of a style for my liking.

[Chrismart]

Mayweather is the stand out one for me. I can appreciate his skills, and hes brillant at what he does. Im just not a big fan as im not a fan of his style, and dont really enjoy watching his fights.

Jose Benividez-can't stand his hair but did you see how he KD'ed dude with one punch? Dude got skills, but his hair's gotta go.

[KJB]

Joe Calzaghe for sure. Cant stand his slap happy style, and thought he was waaaay too ****y. That said, he was a good fighter. Very good.
