    Well.... I appreciate the sport, and most of the fighters as well. Hence why we are all members here at ESB.com lol.

    Nice thread, and was thinking of trying to put together one of my own. I absolutely friggin love boxing, won't miss any fight of any level as long as it's available for me to see.

    I absolutely dig Kelly Pavlik, got some SUPER seats for his upcoming fight and can NOT wait 'til the 21st!!

    Cotto is a close 2nd. Love to see Zab Judah, never dull no matter what. Chad Dawson, oh hell yeah, that's boxing beauty. Give me some Ricky Hatton! Oh and what words to describe the excitement I get when David Haye is ready to rumble. I like both Klit bros, and with the addition of Haye, my eyes are finally once again pointing to the HW division with anticipation.

    Now these are fun mudder ****ers to watch:

    1. Kelly Pavlik
    2. Cotto
    3. David Haye
    4. Jorge Arce
    5. Chad Dawson
    6. Ricky Hatton
    7. Zab
    8. PBF
    9. Orlando "Archie" Solis
    10. Pac
    11. Vazquez
    12. JMM
    13. Edison Miranda (always fun one way or another)
    14. Bute
    15. Mr. Hopkins
    16. Sugar Shane
    17. Clottey
    18. Kirkland
    19. Paul Smith (UK MW for those who do not know)
    20. Bernard Dunne
    21. Matt Macklin
    22. John Duddy
    23. RJJ (faded or not, I'm tunin' in)
    24. Arreola (****er better not get all fat and let me down)
    25. James Tony
    26. Adamek
    27. "Awesome" Aaron Williams.....(know he got KO'd, and haven't heard anything??)
    28. Andy Lee
    29. Joe Green
    30. Ronald Hearns


    ***** This is not a p4p list, and after # 2 , they are in no necessary order, justs fighters I get excited about watching. I also know I will think of about 30 more and kick myself for not having them on my original "list".

    I give my respects to both the Pacman and JMM, something you will rarely see. Two great fighters. Could have banged with the best of them.
