    In the present, the only two I'm an actual supporter of are Carl Frampton and Tyson Fury.

    But if you mean one's I like just to see do well as boxers, then I'd add Lomachenko, BJ Saunders, Groves and Josh Taylor.

    If you're talking all time favourites of my lifetime, as a top 10:

    Carl Frampton
    Lennox Lewis
    Joe Calzaghe
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Naseem Hamed
    Nigel Benn
    Roy Jones Jr
    Roberto Duran
    Evander Holyfield
    Ricky Hatton
