    2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I was a fan of Roger "The Black Momba" Mayweather....so when Floyd Mayweather Jr. turned pro of course I was rooting for him especially when Roger was in his corner. Early in his career Floyd Jr was actually humble but now not so much now lol. I still enjoy watching him fight in the ring but the villain role is just not my thing.

    3. Andre Dirrell: Watched him in the Super Six....after watching him masterfully boxed AA I was thinking to myself here is a kid with all the talent in the world than BAM his bad acting job showed he had no heart.


    As a fan I don't blame boxers who they fight because that's what Promoters are there for.......people complain about Mayweather ducking this person or Pacquiao cherry picking this fighter. All I know is between Pacquiao and Mayweather they know exactly what there doing and that's making millions and millions of dollars. Opps went off topic there.


    if andre dirrell was acting he's not only deserving of an oscar he's got the best chin in the sport

    he was on his knees and looking at the ref and honest abraham hit him on the jaw with a sunday punch

    that punch could have killed somebody

    if you lined up some accountant and smashed him with that thing while he was on his knees it would be all over

      Yes I agree AA hit him while Dirrell was down but the punch wasn't hard enough to make Dirrell do the stinky leg

        Were you a Tyson fan VERY early in his career? Because Cus died when Tyson had only a dozen pro fights and was still an up-and-comer.

        My #1 fighter that I used to like but ended up detesting is Antonio Margarito.

          Ike Ibaebuchi is the only one that comes to mind, I thought he was awesome but he was sadly insane in a very dangerous way and am quite glad he is in prison.

              Yes I started following Tyson when he got his first pro fight on tv.....I still remember when Tyson won his first world title but Cus already past away. I remember reading an article where Cus told Tyson to stay away from Don King. Did he listen? Nope and now he'a broke. Looks like Bob Arum is the new Don King.

                    dont hate anyone but i used to love floyd from way back

                    slowly he started to grate on me, during the mid 2000s i just wanted someone to KO him and shut his mouth

                    recently he's become really respectful and he's matured... so i'm a fan again

                    pacquiao i've always loved.

                    he's like tyson in his prime- electric to watch- his chin is amazing because he takes shots. with pacquiao (and sometimes amir) its better to watch the fight in slow mo to appreciate just how fast he is, when you see de la hoya in full guard, and pac jabbing right through, and stepping back before de la hoya can reacct- incredible

                    floyd is awesome to watch because he is so technically better than everyone else. perfect jab, perfect movement- ring generalship, great chin, cool shoulder roll, high elbow block, 1-2 and forearm hold, lovely hooks from great angles- great stick and move ability- amazing in the clinch, scores so many uppercuts there.

                      Alexander in the Bradley fight--I was really disappointed in him.

                      Shane Mosley after the Pac fight: I honestly don't believe he tried at all. The only thing he came for was a paycheck. Pac would have won regardless but he wasn't fighting with any spirit.

                      Edwin Valero: I had forgotten about him until someone mentioned it. What a worthless human being. He should be erased from boxing history.
