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

I am and always have been on the fence with Froch.

I was guardedly intrigued when he was smashing his way through Rybacki types.

I think I initially backed him against Pascal (but later became more of a fan of Jean's).

I pulled for him against Taylor but would probably pull for Jermain in a rematch (not that one should ever happen, knock on wood).

I pulled for him against Dirrell and would do so again in a rematch after the tournament.

I was definitely hoping he'd lose to Kessler and would obviously want a repeat result if they did it again.

Right now, I'm against him either way in any of the possible match-ups remaining in the Super Six (preferring to root for Abraham, or Johnson, or Ward over him).

 

Froch is exciting!

 

He is, but he's also a bit of a cocky ***** and there are other boxers whose styles I like better.

 

I'm surprised by all of the Froch responses. The guy runs his mouth to much for my liking, but I do admire that he will take on anyone. I did'nt like Gamboa at first because he keeps his hands low and gets dropped a lot, but his style is very exciting and I found myself cheering for him.

 

Weird. Someone getting dropped a lot (especially early in a career) makes you hesitant to cheer for them? For me, that's something that strengthens my resolve to cheer for someone...specifically, someone getting dropped a lot and climbing up to come back and win.

 

In 2006 I was 100% behind Bronco McKart and his come back effort. I tuned in to watch him give Pavlik a boxing lesson. **** didn't go exactly the way I hoped it would, but I did become a Pavlik fan that night.

 

Abraham
Arce

 

For me Marquez. I thought he was kind of overrated and not that special but damn was I wrong.

 

Riddick Bowe off his wars with Holyfield.

 

Another for Froch. Never thought he'd make it this far & he's proven me wrong.

 

cotto

 

Ricky burns, i wanted Martinez to beat him but because of the heart he showed in beating Martinez in a great fight hes earned a lot of respect. Ill be backing him in the rest of his fights

 

Cotto. Hated his boring personality, never smiling, never interesting. Then in fights he would get frustrated and flip fighters, go low, just seem like a general jerk.

I started to like him around the Judah fight, and even though I didn't dig what the Mosley fight looked like I could appreciate him. I was so happy when Margarito beat him, and then all the controversy made me feel bad for him, hanging tough with head butts and what not, I guess he is not such a bad guy. Then seeing pricks inside the Margarito camp made me want to go back in time and change the outcome of their fight.
