Miguel Cotto- dude was a beast I saw him fight before but didn't realize till I saw him fight Margarito, ironically.
Josesito Lopez-Dude has crazy heart. Liked him when I saw him first on ESPN against Mike Dallas Jr.
Oscar De La Hoya- When I was younger we would have gatherings/parties at my house whenever he fought. I actually think De La Hoya-Vargas was the first fight I actually remember watching live.
List your fighters mother****er. We don't feel like reading your cry baby criticisms of what other fans have to say. List yours now, cry later, damn!
Easy Now he can't name one cause he's a fake boxing fan his only name will be Mayweather
Here's my List Arron Pryor, Pipino Cueavs, Tommy Hearns, Julian Jackson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike Tyson in his prime upset with him on what he did after Cus died, Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez, Juan Marquez and Rafel, Roberto Duran, Rafel Bazoka Limon, Alex Arguello Dwight Muhamed Qwai because he was 5 foot 6 taking Light heavies to Heavy weights, Kiltschko brothers, Manny Pacquiao Lupe Pintor, Carlos Zarate, Ernie Chavers Felix Trinadad and Delahoya but he tick me off when he became lazy and would tire by round 9 to bad Arriza or Memo Hernandez weren't around back than with their help he Ko's Floyd
Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield- I remebered my father telling me a story about running into him in the tunnel of the Omni in Atlanta. Him told him "You're gonna be the HW champion of the world". He responded "You realy think so?". It planted the seed before I saw his first fight with Qawi. After that I was in awe of the guy.
Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather- The first time I saw him fight was in the 1996 Olympics when he got cheated. I was hook because I knew he was going to be the best in any weight near his.
"Marvelous" Marvin Hagler- The first time I saw him fight he just looked so smooth and comfortable. I dont know why he fought the way he did in his biggest fights. Good jab and body work. I remember feeling down when they gave that fight to Leonard after he had waited so long.
I gotta name some new schoolers that had that affect on me.
Leo Santa Cruz
Abner Mares
Gabriel Rosado (well second time. First was his fight with Angulo)
Nonito Donaire
I'm a recent boxing fan these fighters were already major stars when I discovered them:
Juan Manuel Marquez: Great style, flashy combinations, mexican heart mixed with great ring IQ, some says he has a boring personnality I personally think that the way he seems to be dedicated to the sport is really charismatic
Cotto: Great style too, able to advance and destroy or to box more carefully. Has a great jab and left hook, two of my favourite punch. Humble and likeable personnality. A lot of respect.
Bernard Hopkins: Maybe if I had been already a boxing fan in the 90s I would have hate him, but his personnal story is so compelling and his skills and dedication are so huge, I can only have respect for him.
Recent boxer:
Abner Mares: what a warrior! and I think he has underrated boxing abilty too
Santa Cruz: Evrybody who has seen him fight know why
Thomas Dulorme: My disappointment of the year, thought he was ready for the elite level but Abregu did what he did
I also jumped on Cano bandwagon and on Golovkin, who is more likely a future star.
Naseem Hamed, Roy Jones & Mike Tyson were all instant big impact fighters on me. Once I saw them just the once, I wanted to watch them again and again
Of recent times, Margarito because he's as game as humanly possible, how the **** can you not admire that
Rigondeaux & GGG for their talent and natural skills. I can see their flaws, but they had the same effect on my eye the others did and have made me want to tune in for more.
