    Let's spread love. Don't you think that's what everyone needs?

    Your favorite fighter aside, who is your favorite person in boxing? Someone you like for something aside from being awesome in the ring. You can name more than one person.

    There's plenty of good folks in boxing, one of my favorites is Floyd Sr.

    He's like a 60 yr old kid. Wherever he goes, whatever he's doing, it's always shenanigans and laughs. Everything is just fun. The guy's old and has sarchoidosis (or whatever it's called) but it's a constant festival with Sr. It's inspirational. The Hatton Pac 24/7 with him and Hatton was some of the best entertainment boxing's provided me with.

    Again, I'm looking for folks you like for something other than being great fighters, something other than what happens in the ring. And it doesn't have to be fighters, anyone who's in any vague way associated with boxing.

    I'm in the Martinez bandwagon right now and I'm a big Bute fan (I live in Montreal).


    Putting those aside, I'm really rooting for Glen Johnson. His passion and dedication for the game is unmatched. Really inspirational for all younger boxers.

    I like Brother Nazim. Possesses one of the most valued opinions in boxing. I don't think I've ever heard anything stupid come out of his mouth.

    I like Ward too. He seems like a genuinely nice guy outside of the ring.

    He says stuff like "Swim without getting wet" so he must be knowledgeable.
    He's overrated as a trainer.

    Garcia and crew, cause they're actually funny.

    I like Manny Pacquiao cos he jogs to the ring like he's going to a party, all smiling and ****. Then when the bell rings he punches the **** out of you.

    I like Miguel Cotto, cos he always maintains his self respect, doesn't chat ****, just boxes.

    Nonito Donaire - has the focus & motivation - 2011 is going to be his year.

    Ricardo Mayorga - He should charge people entry to his press conferences.
    Brandon Rios makes me laugh, he's like your neighbours ******ed lil brother.
