Which boxer has made you a fan? someone you never expected to.

Arthur Abraham

 

Great Topic
For me it is Nonito Donaire. Always happy and messing around, relaxed and easy to hang out. Plus he can fight!!!

 

That is kind of how I feel about him.I never thought id become a fan.I always thought one loss and he will just quit boxing but he did not.He came back and although it did not go to plan he showed heart few thought he had and took the defeats with grace.

 

Oscar De la hoya

Wasn't really a fan of Delahoya during his prime but recently I came to appreciate his take on all comers mentality. If only everybody had that type of mindset

 

Bump

 

:huh You didn't think Maidana had shown heart and determination against Kotelnik?

 

Where the hell do I start lol?

Ali-Monzon-Pacquiao-Marquez Bros-Holyfield-Barrera-Trinidad-Wright-Forrest-Cotto-Qawi

 

use to hate Margarito because I think hes a dumb mexican who fights and doesnt box and I like boxers. But I appreciate his tremendous toughness and his will and have really come to respect all fighters. Every fighter deserves respect

plus his loss to Mosley.. he took some brutal straight on punches right on his face and he just stands there.. man.. I wouldnt want to eat those shots he did straight on I can honestly tell ya

 

I didn't care much for Froch at the beginning of the tournament but being exposed to his confident somewhat cocky and arrogant attitude (which doesn't seem forced as if it were an act or just bordering on being an *******) won me over as a fan. I hope he beats Abraham, as much as I like him even if he is sort of one dimensional. It's always exciting to watch the KO artists perform.

 

Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.:!:

 

I'm kind of the opposite with Abraham. Really liked him in his middleweight days, not so much now.

 

I see lots of people saying Froch.

To be honest, I was kinda thinking Froch too, but every time he does something that wins respect, he then opens his mouth and either bitches, or talks about things he doesn't understand and looks like a tool.

I don't mind confidence, or even arrogance, as long as fighters believe it and back it up. Which is why Darchinyan is my favourite active fighter, and Haye is my least favourite.
Froch does try to back it up. But he is always one step up, one step down in the respect stakes.

 

I know exactly what you mean, He was talking the other week, calling a fellow prizefighter a coward. But that's just Carl. Certainly an aquired taste.

 

I'm almost, but not quite, a Froch fan. For some reason the guy has really grown on me.
