Of the current generation of fighter's I favor Roman Gonzalez, Lomachenko, Spence, and Charlo. Well rounded fighters who fight to win convincingly, not cautious fighters whose ultimate goal is to win by UD every fight.

    I'm not a fan of trash talking, but so long as it is honest, real and not excessive or in poor taste I can overlook it. Thurman and Loma seem to keep it real in their talk; but I don't approve of the type of trash talk from guys like Fury, Broner, Hopkins, Kovalev, etc.
    I like trash talk, but I don't like it when it's forced.

    WWE type **** isn't what I watch boxing for. But if the animosity is legit, then I'm all for it.

      I can't stand that fake good guy image myself. I do however, like guys who are clean cut, and presentable. Ie Ward, AJ, Froch, etc.

      I can't stand guys who pander to demographics when it suits them. ODH with his recent wall smashing BS is an example of such.
      Floyd was like the only clean cut guy I really liked. Hagler and Toney were far from clean cut. Sweet Pea was a little rough around the edges.

      I also tend to like guys from NJ. So I root for Glen Tapia and hope Shakur Stevenson will do well.

      I appreciate all styles but if forced to choose I tend to choose highly skilled over pure power.

        Good for boxing is one of my main criteria for being a fan of a guy.

          Why don't you tell us why he's your favorite?

          We all know why but why don't you tell us?
          Lol, damn dude.

          Floyd Mayweather Jr is my absolute favourite fighter on earth, in heaven, and hell.

          PBF made me a fan of the sport, after Makunouchi Ippo. If that makes me a *****, then so be it.

              The thing I like about Floyd is that he drives people out of their fking minds. Nearly 2 years retired and they're still trying to tell us that the dude lost to Castillo, ducked Margs, lost to Pac, had a weak resume, etc.
              I don't like him for a lot of the stuff in his personal life, but I simply can't identify with the people who try to tear him apart as a fighter. That's a swing and a miss.

                Yeah man, agreed.

                I can't tell you how much I love seeing highly skilled fighters do their thing. Seeing dudes parry jabs, or catch them in their gloves. Or slick footwork. Head movement. Etc.

                But honestly, seeing that one punch completely render another boxer unconscious is a thing of beauty.

                  As long as the KO happens in a competitive fight. So the charlo/jrock KO is great. The Garcia/salka or Canelo/kahn, not so much.

                    How much money they make. How many ppvs they sell and if they're an A-side fighter when it comes to negotiations.

                    If you fit those three qualities, more than likely I'm a fan of yours.
