    I basically root for the old guys who were around and who I picked as favorites back then, because they still have a special place in my heart.

    Luis Ortiz, Erislandy Lara, Guillermo Rigodeaux and GGG are the ones that come to mind.

    Kovalev would have been on this list but he’s basically a confirmed sexual assaulter so I can’t root for him anymore.

    Pacquiao would be on the list but he started cherry picking so I don’t root for him anymore.

    I like Donaire but I don’t want him to beat Inoue because I want to want Inoue be great.

    I think those are all the old timers who are in meaningful fights.
    Cherry picking? Lol you got jokes F l 0 m 0. To try and insinuate Pac was a cherry picker is downright hatred for the man. It’s okay you’ll be alright F L 0 M 0.

        Probably Loma. Just love the way he fights.
        Reminds me of Orlando Canizales, a great bantamweight I liked growing up.

            I’ve always held the opinion that if multiple women are accusing you of something, you’re doing something wrong.

            Thurman almost got knocked out by Josesito López and hadn’t fought in two years prior. Broner hasn’t had a convincing win in about four years now.

            Plus in today’s SJW world, pinching a woman’s butt qualifies for a life sentence...

            And 40 yo Pacman just fought Thurman and Broner before that. Can’t call those cherry picks, especially at his age.

              Just look at his resume post Horn.

              Matthysse was losing to to that random Thai boxer before landing a punch and knocking him out. He was on the comeback trail from a vicious beating to Viktor Postal prior to that. He retired after the Pacquiao fight. And even in his prime, he’s made for Pacquiao. That’s a cherry pick.

              Adrien Broner hasn’t had a convincing victory since 2016 and hasn’t won since 2017. He’s shot. It was the safest opponent Pacquiao could find and justify a PPV. If Broner wasn’t insanely controversial and popular (for whatever reason) there’s no way that’s on PPV. That’s a cherry pick.

              Keith Thurman almost got knocked out by Josesito López. Prior to that fight he hadn’t fought in two years.

              I don’t hate Pacquiao, it’s just clear what’s happening. I don’t blame him for it, he’s old. But I’m not going to root for him anymore when he’s pulling that kind of stuff.

                Demetrius Andrade is my favorite fighter & it's probably because I usually am not a big fan of whoever's popular because it's so cliche. Like in basketball a lot of people are Curry or LBJ fans. I like to watch them but I'm not & never have been big on them.

                I couldn't believe the talent that Andrade is/was & his level of popularity. Truly a diamond in the rough type of fighter. I think that's what made me a fan. Obviously he's talented & I like watching him fight but it's too cliche to just like whoever's the most popular. That's not to say I don't have favorites who are very popular. But currently it's Andrade. I'm a talent fan 1st & foremost.

                I don't put too much stock in the p4p list but sooner rather than later he's going to be in the consensus top 3. Or 1, if somehow Crawford or Lomachenko lose.

                    I generally don’t enjoy watching wilder fight...I’ll add fury in the mix tho.

                      If I had to pick a favorite it would be GGG. But mostly I just root for a good fight.
