    Of all time it has to be Sugar Ray Leonard or Ali

    Buuuut the most recent crop is tough to choose from

    Timmy bradley is a ducking, headbutting disgrace
    Mike Jones is an over hyped yank
    Andre ward the hometown headbutting hero
    Chad "BodySlam" Dawson
    Paul "The Punished" Williams

    The only US fighter I genuinely like is Floyd Mayweather ( I would say Jermain Taylor but hes been AWOL since the Abraham fight ) sad thing to say as i never hated American boxers til this recent bunch of crap came to surface

    Ali
    ....
    .....
    Tyson, Foreman, Liston, practically almost all mexican-fighters (who can´t love these hard-boiled warriors (á la JB Campas, JMM, Chavez)) ..etc (lot´s of them)

    Nowadays - Hopkins (idiot, but I like him), USS Cunningham (don´t know exactly why, maybe because he beat Huck), Lemieux, Deonday Wilder, JMM,

    Hard to not like Ali.

    Current I'd say Hopkins, who I respect as a boxer, but I don't like him as a person, or at least the person he portrays.

    I used to like Bradley, reason being I thought he wasn't about the money, I thought he was more about the fights. Now with his "business decisions" I have lost all respect.

    For some reason, I don't know why, I like Malignaggi?!!!? I like to see him do well. Maybe it's because he's doing the impossible... he's a fighter, with zero power. Gotta respect that.

    I have a love-hate fanboy relationship with Mayweather and Hopkins (I resent that never lose to a white boy s..t),

    Adrien Broner (Funny little f...er)

    Raushee ****** (let us all cross fingers he doesn't screw up again in London).

    I also used to be a fan of Pavlik, but not anymore.

    Brone diggity

    I don't know about that. There are many who feel he's a classless piece of **** for the way he conducted himself during his career. Especially regarding Frazier
