    Pacquiao- His ability to climb up the weights. Good matchmaking or not, you have to respect how he repeatedly gets in the ring with bigger, stronger men, and for years has scored impressive victories (all with an aggressive style that leaves him somewhat open to punishment.)

    Mayweather- I really admire (and might be downright jealous) of his horrible diet even in training camps. I'm amazed by the man's ability to pig out on junk food and not have it really affect his training negatively at all.

    Khan- I respect his willingness to always seek out challenging fights against tough opponents. He might have a somewhat inflated view of his abilities, but he really does want to prove he's as good as he says he is.

    Canelo- I like his poise and confidence in the ring. He's very measured, mature, and is getting better and better technically. I like his style, too, how he comes forward, waits for openings, and then looks to explode at his opponents with well-timed and placed clusters of power punches. He's fun to watch. The right mix of cerebral and violent.

    Broner- I may not like him, but I certainly respect his ability to draw heat. If he keeps winning against better opposition, he will absolutely become a huge PPV attraction. Everyone will want to see him get violently KTFO. By all accounts, he seems to be an even bigger jerk than Mayweather, legitimately (Mayweather seems like more of an actor than a full-fledged legitimate douchebag; Broner is real in that sense.)

    Nonito- I like his style and his willingness to move up and seek fresh challenges, though I'm growing less enamored with his style now that he seems to headhunt and try to force a one-punch KO with every shot. He's fallen in love with his power and has neglected boxing and countering his way in. It now looks like he favors wildly lunging in with big left hooks. He needs to bring variety and patience back to his game.

    Ward- I may not like his style, but he seems like a good guy and has come across as very well-spoken and knowledgeable in the interviews he's given. I would love to see him as a commentator after his ring career ends.

    Alexander- He has good handspeed and boxing ability. Too bad they're wasted on a quitter who grunts with every punch.

    Chavez Jr- I enjoy watching him fight in close. He has an exciting style.

    Rios- Again, he has a fun style, though I dislike how his dedication appears to be lacking with how he misses weight all the time.

    Bradley- I detest the guy, but he's the best troll in the sport bar none right now. I have to respect such natural trolling talent.

    Ortiz- He has a fun style and a vicious right hook. It's too bad he's got a glass jaw, heart, and brain.

    Klitschko brothers- I may not enjoy watching either brother fight, but I respect how smart and well-mannered both brothers are.

    Hopkins- I don't particularly like his style, but I respect how he's been able to stay active at or near the top of the sport long after many of his contemporaries have retired or become faded beyond recognition.

    Haye- Much like Broner, I respect how he's so good at being hated. The man is a master of marketing and self-promotion.

    Froch- I enjoy his fighting style and respect his fight anyone mindset.

    Pacquiao - toughest SOB since Duran. Absolute insufferable ass bent on proving he's got more man in his left nut then you got in your whole body. World conquorer. Napolean complex. Pure destroyer.


    Maywweather - Most skilled fighter I've ever seen. One of the only fighters I'v ever seen to take great skills and combine them with out-of-worldly technique, strategy and mental toughness. Watching this guy ratchet up the pressure on a hopelessly out matched opponent gives me a broner (see californication for proper definition). DLH, Gatti, Ward and Tyson got me into boxing. Mayweather and Whitaker turned it into an addiction.


    Khan - Coming back from the Prescott KO proves he is a total badass. The miadana and peterson fights prove he's world class tough. He'll fight anyone and he's a lot smarter then most people give him credit for. His boxing commentary for british TV is also often very good too.


    Canelo - Has a great chin. Is improving and actually looks like he's turning into the world class fighter that people are hyping him to be. Probably pounds the hell out of most guys in his division. I'm okay with him moving slowly because I'd rather not see a repeat of Fernando Vargas. Problems are that he treats punches with no respect. He thinks two much about trying to counter (rather then winning rounds) and he needs to up his punch count in some fights.


    Broner - Is very talented but sadly isn't the next floyd. He's got to work on his accuracy because 27-32% against over matched guys isn't going to cut it when other guys with speed step into his kitchen. Otherword seems tough fast and powerful. Nothing not to like.



    Nonito - Another tough as **** hard hitting filipino. Signing up for full year round VADA testing is a ****ING huge move and he should be very very high regarded by fans for this. He is also one of the most gifted and coordinated fighters in the game. I would only like to see him fighter bigger fights cause so far his talent has been sorely wasted by his D-bag promoter.

    Ward - Nice guy, knows his boxing, probably the most mentally astute fighter next to floyd and Bhop. Has every shot and every skill in the book.


    Alexander - Tough. Great sound effects. Must suck a mean dick cause it seems like all judges can't get enough of what he's got.


    Chavez Jr - Is better then I thought he'd be. Is actually world class.


    Rios - Is a cool dude. Had a great win over acosta at 135 lb. I'm worried he'll get ripped apart by the big boys at 140 lb.


    Bradley - B- floyd mayweather with a total psycho's approach to the sport. Hope all the pressure he puts on himself doesn't **** him up in the rematch. If he's able to withstand all the critism and pressure to do even better in the rematch he will really have my respect.


    Ortiz - Not much I respect about this ****. He's all smoke and mirrors. I don't even care that he quite against Lopez. What pisses me off about the guy is that with the sole exception of his respectable win over berto he has NEVER EVER done anything to deserve any of the interest, opportunities or attention he is given in the sport. The guy basically is a **** fighter with no brain and no heart. I may not be too made at him for quiting against lopez but mentally he was checkingout long before his kaw got broke. That pisses me off. If I had to I would say he's always in out-of-this-world great shape. That has to be respected.


    Klit bros - Better then people give them credit. Older brother is pretty tough. Both do huge numbers in Germany which is very good for boxing in that country. Both have very a intelligent and professional training ethic.


    Hopkins - What can you say man grampa popkins is the ultimate mind-****ing preditor. And a truely complete warrior. Lets be real though he probably was on the juice against pascal. I mean **** the guy's old enough to be my dad and I'm old enough to have a doctorate degree (think about that **** :rasta)


    Haye - Won a curserweight belt off a halfway decent fighter. Clowned his way into roughly 6 pay days after that. So I guess you could say he`s a good clown. Is well spoken...big right hand and good movement.


    Froch - Biggest hardman/badass in the sport. Has improved a lot. Is one of the best quotes in boxing. Should go the HOF. And is probably my favourite active fighter. Embodies everything I want to see in a pugelist. Has a smoken hot ass fire-******* of a girl friend.:good

    Pacquiao - all the punches from many different angles, his offensive arsenal and how he's been able to come up in weight

    Maywweather - his skills and just how he makes any fight he's in, no matter who he is in the ring with, look so damn easy

    Khan - how he came back well after that prescott ko loss

    Canelo - looks like he is boxing's next superstar, has seen good improvement.

    Broner - his swag

    Nonito - combination of power and speed is among the best in the game, but like someone above me said his recent one-punch at a time style is getting on my nerves, has fallen in love his power way too much after the montiel fight.

    Ward - his skills

    Alexander - it burns

    Chavez Jr - his improvement over the years, from struggling against vanda to now being legitimately a top middleweight. impressive improvement

    Rios - fan friendly style, although i hate how undisciplined he can get witht he weight issue. one thing i hate about anything is a lack of discipline in one's career...

    Bradley - underrated skill

    Ortiz - no matter the heart or the brains, he just finds himself in damn entertaining fights...

    Klit bros - gentlemen conduct outside the ring, and say what you want about how **** the heavyweight division is, gotta respect their dominance of it.

    Hopkins - ATG

    Haye - his toe...but seriously can promote a fight well

    Froch -he has cojones
