    Check my sig . . .

    Katsidis . . . Diaz, Sotto, Margarito, Mayorga, Forrest and Cotto are not great fighters . . . they are just good action fighters.

    . . . but I like them, respect them . . . win or lose. :deal

    Michael Katsidis, the guy is crazy and extremely dedicated to the sport. He has some skill for sure but you can really see that his heart definetly overrides that. If he dropped his idiotic trainer then I would probably be a huge fan.

    Hell yea...

    Juan Diaz, he's got heart and he's a good role model for kids considering he does boxing and continues his education

    Sergio is a fast, sharp, slick fighter. God has blessed him with the gifts to box, so I definetly wouldn't say he's not that great, but I do also respect the hell out of him. He gets flat out robbed over Cintron and lost a decision to PW that he would have won anywhere elase in the world and he took it all rather well. I would have went ape **** in the Cintron fight.

    Librado Andrade. If I was half the man that guy is I'd be very satisfied with myself. He has a genuine desire to be world champion, and gets in with whoever, not for the money, but because he wants to be a champion. I imagine he's gone through his whole life being a nobody or just the average nice guy. The only thing that has got him this far is his ambition, and that's compelling.

    Lots of journeymen in England like Tony Booth and Peter Buckley who fought the 4 & 6 rounders losing and getting **** decisions but occasionally upsetting the odd prospect.
    Life blood of the sport.
    Emanuel Augustus of course.
