    Erik Morales. I'd have preferred it if he'd stayed retired but he'll have my support every time he steps in the ring. One of the best fighters of his era and one of the greatest warriors ever.

    JMM. I've always loved his counter-punching style and since he's added more aggression and ko's to his game, he's fun to watch for boxing purists and casual fans alike. Even at his age, he's still one of, if not the, best counter-punchers in the game.

    Rafael Marquez. The other half of the greatest boxing brothers ever. Another top-level boxer who is equally happy going to war. His jab and uppercut are still two of the best punches in the sport for me and, having spent most of his career under Nacho, his combinations and counter-punches are beautiful. Not as smooth as his brother but his genuine ko power makes up for it.

    Yuriorkis Gamboa. Blinding hand-speed, knockout power and a porous defence. What's not to like? Although he can phone it in at times, when he's on his game, there's no-one like him.

    David Haye. Not the most popular guy on boxing forums but for me, murderous power, hand speed and a shaky chin = exciting fights. His personality rubs a lot of people the wrong way but I think he's pretty funny.
