    I can’t stand wilder but I admire his power and dedication to training. Dude is definitely top 3 most explosive heavyweights of all time

    Imagine what it's like to feel a load of Wilder exploding on your face?

    Fury’s got some serious balls taking the rematch, I know he schooled him but I wouldn’t risk getting hit like that again

    Edwin Valero, i don't like him for the things he did out of the ring, but in the ring he was fearless mother****er with great engine, hard punches and some good skills.. It's a shame he ended his and his wife lifes like that..

    Floyd of course, narcistic *****, diva and a woman beater but in the ring, one of my all time favorites

    Broner. In short, he is a dumbass, but i admire his fighting endurance, never quits

    Canelo. Tainted meat cheating *****, in the ring he has shown some great skills, hard punching mofo with some slick defensive moves, dunno if that is because of meat but he is really good.

    Broner showed plenty of quit in the Pacquiao fight. After he tasted the power and speed, he wanted out and fought to survive. He engaged and walked down Mikey, Maidana, and Porter, but ran for dear life against Pacquiao. Staring at the clock, running, and clinching his way through 12 rounds.

    Yea I agree I’ve never been a big canelo fan, but he keeps improving and working hard despite being at a very high level. I admire his keep learning mentality where as lot of other guys would probably be too cocky for their own good at his stage

    Lomachenko is a bit up his own ass, but he does look for the best. Canelo is a cheat, but he is skilled and, as stated above, always learning and practicing the art.

    Floyd stands out for me. Not the only one but first to come to mind. His out of ring drama, I could always seperate that from the job. It didnt affect how I felt about his skills. It was his business and no one else's. Although it isnt my business, I had an opinion on it. One that he didnt treat woman with respect nor did he respect his children by doing it in front of them as reported in numerous news outlets when it was happening. I didnt care for that part of him at all. But in the ring he had a gift. A gift that very few ever possess.
