    He's alright, but his flailing and missing strategy isn't always pretty to watch.

    I know a lot of u mentioned Moseley. I used to love and respect Mosely, but what he did in the PBF interview butting in after a PBF victory over Marquez was uncalled for. Trust me, I truly truly dislike PBF, (don't wanna use the word hate) but it was his moment to have the spotlight. Mosely should've waited for his turn. I'm sure the announcers would have gone and interview him anyway. He could have expressed his opinions on another time. This was just a low low class act. He just completely turned me around.

    For my list, Pacquiao, Cotto, Ali, Sugar Ray, Henry Armstrong. I don't know anything about Armstrong's personality but I love that he fought anyone, any reasonable weight.

    Always gonna be a critic eh? The man was fighting at super featherweight three years ago give him a frickin break. He's stepping in the ring with bigger men. Plus catchweights are nothing new and not something Manny started. His opponents could have just not agreed to the catchweight and all. Manny didn't put them into headlocks and make them sign to fight at the catchweights) I don't believe the DLH fight was a catchweight though, I thought DLH just came in weighing 145?

    Are you kidding, it was the most exciting part of the broadcast.

    current fighters that it is hard not to be a fan of

    mosley
    pacquiao
    cotto
    katsidis
    Danny Green
    JMM (when he sticks to his best weight)
    Chad Dawson- I know he isnt the all action fighter like the guys mentioned above but as a boxing fan it is hard not enjoy watching his abilities, the guy has it all and will be a cham for many years to come.

    I agree with a lot above but want to put some more emphasis on Kessler:

    He has an extremely "clean" style (no holding, no unfairness whatsoever in his style...)
    Has a good personality.

    Good choice. Recently watched Kessler/Calzaghe, the way he swung for the fences while keeping good form was exemplary.
