Which of these boxers are you a fan of? George Groves Jhonny Gonzalez Erislandy Lara Juan Manuel Marquez Saul Alvarez Nonito Donaire Shawn Porter Tyson Fury Yuriorkis Gamboa Vasyl Lomachenko
Respect and rooted for Groves during his fight with degale. Thought he let himself down with the dumb talk before the Froch fight. Then I give him alot of respect after that fight. Not a fan though. Marquez not in the traditional sense but love watching him box. Shawn Porter made a fan out of me by whooping Alexander. Will be watching out for him.
Of that bunch, Gonzalez is my favorite. Its great to see him doing well at last, after having blown fights he was winning like Penalosa, Vasquez, and Nishioka.
Marquez is a great fighter, would be happy if he retired now to be honest, would hate seeing him get hurt, he has nothing left to prove. Lomachenko is an unbelievable talent also. What a unique amateur career. His pro journey will be interesting....he has all the tools to beat anyone yet the fights he will be taking so early for a pro could be great matchmaking or a great reality check. Time will tell!
Odd kinda question given the fighters you've listed. Loma might be one, and he's a guy I'll certainly follow with great interest. Lara is a guy whose talent I have great respect for, and I generally root for - but a 'fan'? - it's like asking if you're a fan of watching a great artist painting their masterpiece (obviously even more so for Rigo). Donaire perhaps, and I'd watch Groves and probably root for him - though I'm still a long way from sold on him. 'Nelo I just never thought was that good - I dunno, just too stiff and predictable, though the kid's young enough to improve. Jhonny is good but he's already into the tail end of his career - same could be said for JMM I guess. Tyson Fury - um..I'd say he's a talentless joke, but he's an unbeaten talentless joke, so I'll reserve judgement...for now. Gamboa is good, but I don't like him, so - not a fan. Who else - Shawn Porter? Yeah, embarrassingly he'd kinda slipped under my radar, but I was really impressed by the Alexander fight - I'll certainly follow, but a fan? Not just yet.
