    It's tough for me to make a list because I'm indifferent about most fighters. There's a few fighters I am a big fan of and a few that I dislike, but most of them I'm indifferent or I'm sort of a fan of. I only listed the weights in which I have a clear favorite fighter.

    Heavyweight: Lamon Brewster. He's probably finished as a fighter, but he was involved in some really entertaining fights. My favorite used to be James Toney, but he's no longer one of my favorites after his repeated positive steroid tests (and just for being a lazy fat ass). He's still one of my all-time favorites though for his whole career.

    168: Andre Ward. Because he's the local guy who won the gold medal. Among world class super middleweights, my favorite is Kessler. I like his surgeon-like precision and fluid combos.

    147: Floyd Mayweather. I'm a fan of more fighters in this division than any other. I like Floyd's crafty skills, I like Cotto's aggressive style and fluid combinations, I like Williams's activity level. I'm also a fan of Shane as well.

    135: Juan Diaz. People like to make fun of him because of his weeping episode awhile back and his grunts and all, but I like watching him fight. He's fun to watch with his aggressive style and active workrate. He seems like a decent guy too.

    130: Manny Pacquiao. Pac-Man has been one of my favorites for awhile.
