    No particular order. I could day to day come up with a different list lol. I have quite a few favs. But I respect every man/woman that steps thru the ropes. Christy Martin is a fav of mine as well due to her badass demeanor and her willingness to throw down hard every time she was in the ring W or L. I invite anyone to watch her nasty KO vs Sabrina Hall way back in 2000 in the undercard of Trinidad vs Vargas. Lady had 31 KOs in her career. Plus I had the pleasure to meet, talk, and have her sign a picture for me in Canastota in '05
