    Generally, I support those who represent the sport well - I'm not even talking about being role models, but those who give good fights and show why boxing is great. I pretty much like all the guys in the top 10 p4p besides Mayweather and Broner because both are unbearable pricks.

    My favourite current fighter in Pacquaio got KTFO and yet, Pac vs JMM 4 is one of my favourite ever fights, because it just showed the greatness of boxing.

    The sport > individual fighters.

    Always.

      I like the sport so there isn't on reason or another I like a particular fighter. As for my two favorites-Hagler and Floyd-I liked them because they both got absolutely robbed-floyd in the olympics and Hagler vs antefurmo 1-when I saw them fight for the first time.

      Other fighters Ive liked-toney, Hamed and aaron pryor-was because they talked a lot of **** and backed it up in the ring. Others-ARguello and now Mikey Garcia-just show up and do there thing.

      SO there isnt just one reason.

        I agree with the last statement but do you realize you contradicted yourself in your own post.

            Kotelnik was robbed in the fight with Alexander.

            Matthysse was robbed twice, against Alexander and Judah.

            Do you support those guys?

              I dont think Kotelnik or Matthyse was robbed in any of these fights. It also wasn't THE FIRST TIME I SAW EITHER FIGHT. I don't have feelings either way about them.

              Its like you post with your hood on your head sometimes.

                  Let's be honest with ourselves..."same race as yourself" and the missing option "massive HBO/fan hype" are the only reasons why anyone follows anyone.
