      Heavyweight - ADAMEK!!! Klitschko's (not a huge fan but I have grown to respect what they do and how hard they work and how they never run from a Challenge and THEY DON'T CHERRY PICK!!!), I have nothing against David Haye, he is entertaining

      Cruserweight - Steve Cunningham, Lateef Kayode

      Light Heavyweight - Chad Dawson, Hopkins, Cleverly (he is only 24 years old he will continue to get better)

      Super Middleweight - Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Andre Dirrell, Peter Quillin

      Middleweight - Sergio Martinez (of course), Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (would give Martinez PROBLEMS IMO, also have that slick style like Martinez), PIROG also!

      Light Middleweight - ANGULO!!! Paul Williams...but watch out for Fernando Guerrero though, might be the FUTURE of that division!

      Welterweight - Tired of Mayweather and Pacquiao (especially their fans) but I respect both and is somewhat a fan of both! But I like the up and coming guys like Brad Solomon and Kell Brook

      Light Welterweight - Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander, Mike Alvarado (if he can stay out of jail, Mike should be up their with Khan, Bradley and all of the other top fighters at 140)...also watch out for Danny "SWIFT" Garcia out of Philly, that dude has a BRUTAL RIGHT HAND!

      Lightweight - Roberto Guerrero, JMM, Bam Bam Rios

      Super Featherweight - Adrien Broner (he is a A$$HOLE but he is a very talent A$$HOLE especially for a 21 year old fighter...yes he did get a gift against Ponce!)

      Featherweight - Gamboa, JuanMa (one loss is just that...ONE LOSS, JuanMa will bounce back in a MAJOR WAY)

      Super Bantamweight - Rigondeaux

      Bantamweight - Nonito Donaire, Joe Agbeko


      GREAT THREAD!

        He is a very skilled fighter and I tend to like fighters like Broner.

        At this time, he is very green. And his fight with Ponce DeLeon showed that and he really gave that fight away (in terms of making it much easier) and showed his inexperience.

        I wouldn't say he deserves heat for that fight but I understand why people haven't warmed to him from that fight because in many spots in the fight he was very inactive and not willing to engage, at all.

        But, he has shown moments of sheer class at times. For example, Round 5 of his fight with DeLeon he was phenominal, making him miss, hitting him with sharp counters and was dominating in spectacular fashion and to me, atleast, it was entertaining.

        His problem is he needs to fight like he did in Round 5 more often and not be so inactive when he's fighting because it's puts a sour taste on a fighter who I believe has lots of potential. IF he gets the experience.

        These are only early signs, I have been let down by fighters like Broner time and time again and it ended up they lacked heart or discipline or things of that nature. But, from the early signs, he looks like he has potential to me and I will be tuning into his fights.

        Most people have only seen the DeLeon fight in which he didn't pull his weight to put on a good performance (Other than a few rounds here and there like Round 5 for example) so that's why he's getting alot of heat and rightfully so. It was his first chance to step up to the plate knowing lots of people will be watching to put on a show against a good but smaller opponent.

              I don't know if it was me seeing things but I swore I saw Ponce doing his fair share of backing up and refusing to engage while Broner was coming forward. These happened in spots, Ponce kind of just circling around the ring doing nothing, not even setting anything up, while Broner came forward. Broner did his fair share of "running" as well.

                    Nobody has thrown any insults about May or Pac in this thread. With posts like these, you can start a war between them. A ******* can reply to this thread saying something about a *****, and vice versa.
