    Current and/or all time.Current or all time?
    There is a corresponding thread for non-Americans as well.
    Just curious how much and why people root for the guys from far away lands.

    I was a big fan of Kostya Tszyu and Ike Quartey. I also liked Michael Watson a great deal. He was my favorite of those killer British 168ers.

    All-Time: Lennox Lewis(though I don't know if he counts, he was born in Britain to a Jamaican then moved to Canada and fought for Canada in the Olympics)
    If Not Lennox Lewis, Probably Manny Pacquiao or Vitali Klitschko.
    Also a fan of David Haye.

    Sergio Martinez
    Michael Katsidis
    Carl Froch -- even though I hope Ward beats him, I respect the hell out of the way the guy fights. I started off the Super Six really disliking him, but he has won me over.
