    Calderon would have won a clear points decision, though I don't think it would have been 120-108, but I would have loved to have seen it still.

    Since naz, noone has done it for me. I suppose I like froch the most atm, but I wanted reid to upset him in their fight.

    ive been an underdog man for a long time,loved honeygun, and cowdell and dennis andries and sibbo.i never wanted tyson to lose(the dream shouldve gone on forever!)nowadays i always root for pacman and have a soft spot for rendell and all the hard workers/grafters really.dont like haye for his inactivity and think he should fight or be stripped.the man with the biggest heart has got to b katsidis at the moment and i would b hard pressed to root for khan against him.

    I don't go via Partiotic means, I like a fighter regardless of where they are from. I go via styles, sometimes heart, sometimes **** journeyman who sometimes pull it out of the bag. I'm open minded in that respect.

    But for me, at the moment, Carl Froch is my man. I'd even root for him against my favourite active fighter, B-Hop, although of course it'd never happen and Frochy would lose a decision.

    I don't think I once ever rooted against Calzaghe. Haye would get my vote now and probably Froch.

    As a consequence of my lack of favourite fighter, There is only one fighter I don't like, mab for beating naz lol.

    In general tho, I don't like favourites laying a beatdown on the underdog. Like khan in his early fights, used to put me off him, especially when it is combined with arrogance.

    The one time I rooted against an english fighter was actually the prescot fight. Since then tho khan has matured and humbled some what.
