    Kid Chocolate Peter Quillin
    It seems every body hates Peter, so I always Root for him.
    I think he beats Jacobs 9/10 times just got caught early.

    Also Eggington I hate seeing Eggington cracked & battered

    John Molina Jr. and Joe Smith Jr. working class to the core, and easy as hell to root for.

    I never enjoyed the back to the Future series but respect Molina's decision to wear the trunks.

    Ray Beltran, he is the definition of a working class fighter. He is not elite but could beat anyone who isn't.

    I still want to see the rematch, Jacobs never beats him that easily again for sure

    Danny Jacobs. Great story, was told he might never walk again. His 1st day back at the gym he hit the heavy bag once and had to stop and go home. Now he’s back to elite level world champ. Plus, he seems like a genuinely good dude. I’ve never heard anyone in boxing say a bad word about him. I find Danny very easy to root for, regardless of who he’s fighting.

    Donaire is such a class act in post fight interviews. Seems like one of the real, legit good guys in boxing.

    I like most everyone mentioned so far. But you can like elite guys, too. So I'll add Mikey to my list.
    Also Shawn Porter.
    Another possibility is Kownacki. I'd never seen him until the Washington fight, but he seems like a guy I'd have fun rooting for.
