    When ever Mayweather fights.

    Im not a fan outside of the ring , but in the ring he just makes very good fighter look like 10 fight novices.

    Manny Pacquiao - Exciting, powerful, and great.
    Wladimir Klitschko - Came back from devastating losses, the best heavyweight since 2006.
    J. Marquez - Gave Pacquiao hell.
    Evander Holyfield - Even though practically irrelevant, I still respect and admire him that I'll put him here anyway.
    Miguel Cotto - A real warrior
    Vitali Klitschko - Tough, Bad, and dominant.
    Bernard Hopkins - His longevity is amazing.

    Gamboa - awesome combination of speed, explosiveness and power, sometimes he just looks like something out of a computer game
    Pac - has been my favourite fighter since I first saw him beat Barrera until Gamboa came along; an absolute fighting machine & role model
    Donaire - sensational speed, skills and movement around the ring; can't wait to see more of him
    Martinez/Haye - fighters with flashy fighting styles that look for the KO rather than cruise to a UD
    JM Marquez - great skills and always in entertaining fights

    Frankie Gavin - Great technician. He already has the tools to compete at the highest level. I love watching him fight.

    Nonito Donaire - Great style to watch when he's up for it. His future highlight reels are going to be epic.

    Roman Gonzalez - Could be the best fighter below bantamweight. He's world class and can still improve. Should be above the likes of Bute on p4p lists.

    Manny Pacquiao - Shouldn't really need to explain myself here. He is taking easy-ish fights but outside of Mayweather I don't see anyone 147 and below causing him any trouble.

    James Toney - His style is godly. Probably the easiest fighter to watch in history.

    Bernard Hopkins - Its always good to watch a master in action.

    Sergio Martinez - Keeps getting better and better. He's added serious power to his arsenal which only makes him more exciting to watch.

    Regindeux; Speed outstanding skillz and good power seems to be sitting down on his shot and letting them go with bad intention.

    Tua; heavy hands KO'ED RUIZ literally put the kid to sleep.

    Gesta:Fast kid exciting to watch.Not sure how well he goes at the top level, he beats kim and all these other fringe contenders.

    Saludar:phenom from General Santos City.

    KHAN: ultra fast needs to be more of a killer in the ring, just not vicious enough be more of a warrior, lightening quick hands when he has them going needs to sit on them with bad intention.

    Gamboa: Probably the best of the cubans, ultra fast, tremendous combinations, lightening quick.

    Gamboa..great talent and generally great to watch.

    Uchiyama..bit rough around the edges but a gutsy fighter who has been in some good fights..plus he beat my boy Skinny, so I want him to do well.

    :lol:

    I always root for him and have thought for a while he would take out this tourney.

    But he doesnt make it easy to be a fan sometimes with his style.

    Put it this way on paper he is one of my favourite active fighters. :D

    Floyd Mayweather - The best period. Would Arturo Gatti your favorite fighter.

    Andre Dirrell - Most athletically gifted fighter at 168. Schooled Froch even if the stinky Brits robbed him.


    Sergio Martinez - Consistently proves that slick athletes are the best in the game.


    Yuriorkis Gamboa - See above
