    I like Adamek for his two battles with Briggs. I became a Dawson fan when he schooled Adamek.

    My respect for Donaire grew a lot when he beat Darchinyan (although I am still a solid Darchinyan fan too)

    Long time ago it was Mike Tyson and then Manny Pacquiao made me a fan again.

    Agreed about Spinks. Whether or not you scored that for him, he's the main reason so many people are hating on Taylor now, and it was Cory's fault. He's the one who boxed beautifully. Jermain just had no answers. But its the people that would expect Cory to go toe to toe with him or whatever. I thought he outclassed him during that bout and looked amazing doing it.

    And Nonito Donaire hands down has me as a fan for life after absolutely starching Darchynian. That was an amazing display, and I'm looking forward to Nonito dominating the little guys for a while to come.

    I have been a big Diaz fan for the last 2 years. He's my 2nd favorite fighter behind Floyd.

    Agreed, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Andrade as a person - a true gent.

    JC vs Lacy. Calzaghe came in as the underdog, from a media perspective. He beat Lacy at his own game with class and ability. I still believe it surprised JC quite a bit.

    Dawson vs Adamek. I had no knowledge of Dawson prior to the match, and I had tremendous respect for Adamek. Even so early in his career, he simply outclassed Adamek.

    Pavlik's abuse of Miranda made me a fan. . . plus he says he doesnt ONLY want the big money fights. He wants to fight for the fans. God bless the Ghost!
