    Since naz left I haven't had a favourite fighter. Well there was valero but he became a murderer. Then I thought I was a fan of pascal, but found myself wanting hopkins to pull an upset.

    Basically i'm just a fan of english boxing. I want as many english boxing champions as possible. In all other fights I root for the underdog.
    For instance I want froch to win the s6, but i'd want de gale to beat him, I wanted smith to beat de gale. The only real constant in who I want to win a fight is the underdog factor, apart from title fights featuring an english and a non english fighter.

    Is anyone else like me, or do you guys follow one particular boxer?

    My favourite fighter is Sergio Martinez but I don't really talk about him on here at all apart from when he's fighting. Because that's all I'm interested in... Sergio Martinez, the fighter. I have other fighters I favour but nothing major.

    I'll pretty much always support the British fighter and if it's a domestic affair then I'll root for whoever based on style/personality usually.

    Like u, I want any English fighter to do well. Of course, I have had my favourites (preferred Hatton to Witter, Degale to Groves etc), but generally, I will root for any Englishman that steps in the ring. Burns is winning me over, but would love it if an Englishman battered him, it's just my patriotism kicking in.

    Apart from that, I will always root for Pacquiao (my favourite fighter), as well as Cotto (nice guy), JuanMa and Katsidis

    Marquez
    Froch
    Munroe

    Can't say there's anyone I'd root against, but there's a few that I'd love to see lose their 0 quite soon - Brook, Chavez jr.....

    Edit - sorry, I root against Ortiz. Can't stand him for some reason.

    Oh, and Haye obviously.
