    I had to double check, you made me question myself to begin with.

    You have to look at the quality of fighter he is stopping though, plus some of the other guys he isn't really hurting at all. Maybe it'll change but I do agree, I think he's a bit feather fisted as well. Kiko is finished so he should be able to stop him still

    I
    Im not trying to say hes a power puncher in any way but also to give him a bit of credit all his opps except maybe dieli for the ebu, were at the level he was fighting at.
    He stopped moneime who beat selby ( i know it was early in selbys career) and went the distance with walsh but didnt get the nod but most folk and me included had him beating walsh.
    I wouldnt call warrington featherfisted although a lot seem to do, somewhere in between i reckon.

    I'm hoping Liam Williams has a good chin. So far he looks the business. Think he's got an attractive style too. Very aggressive boxer puncher. If he has whiskers could be dangerous

    Quigg and Frampton are mine.


    I didn't know Kell brook was so popular, he is a top fighter though so can understand why he's the most well liked. Surprising that hardly anyone voted for Quigg, maybe that's to do with the Joe Gallagher hate and his tactics and slow start against Frampton but I feel Quigg will win back the fans in the future! ( plus hes left gallagher now)

    Would be surprised to find that anyone actively dislikes Quigg. There's very little I find objectionable about him, it's just that he's not an entertaining enough fighter/character for me to consider him a favourite. Wish him all the best in the future though. As for Kell, I think he (rightfully) gained a lot of admiration after the GGG fight.

    He's got 4 TKO's from 24 fights and 1 retirement. He's never knocked anyone out properly. He makes Paulie Malignaggi look like a murderous puncher.

    Brook,
    Groves,
    Haye,
    Lee Selby,
    Andrew Selby,
    Callum Smith,
    Joshua,
    and Liam Williams after his last fight.

    I'm a fan of Eubank J's style and he's been in some exciting fights but he has an unlikable personality and, unless he steps up the level of competition soon, I will lose interest. Like what happened with Khan.
