    I love Whyte. I think it's coz hes active that I like him so much, but his fights are entertaining and so are his interviews.

    I like the Amanda Nunes props. Girl can fight! I had my money on Cyborg who is a warrior to the bone but she comes in too wide open. Her boxing coach who claims to be very good should have fixed that a while ago. Anyway good call out my pal

    Joe Frazier (love the guy to pieces )

    George Foreman (love him even though he obliterated my favourite)

    Muhammad Ali (embodies greatness)

    Roy Jones (got me following boxing in the 90’s and still the best fighter at his peak that I’ve seen)

    Jack Dempsey (more for the romance and backstory but I respect the hell out of the fighter too)

    Marvin Hagler ( just a complete fighter, not perfect but complete)

    Manny Pacquiao (single handedly kept me interested in boxing from 2005-15)

    Johnny Famechon ( as an Australian I have to like him but he was also a beautiful mover and defensive master and I love to watch him)

    Evander Holyfield (could have the odd shocker but he also provided us with some absolute classics. Huge ticker)

    I never thought I'd meet a Leon Spinks fan! Tell me, why do you like him? You seem to be a fan of the 70s-80s heavyweight division as a whole

    Lol. There’s a reason why Leon and the others were picked. Surely you can work it out?
