    In no particular order these are my favorite fighters right now in the game.
    Did I miss someone on the list? Do you disagree with the list? Share yours

    1. Del Boy - by far one of the best characters in the entire sport. It's always a spectacle whether it's a press conference or the fight itself. War Chisora is always coming for a fight. Simply put... if you don't like Del Boy ... you don't like yourself.

    2. Tank Davis - one of the top if not the top MUST WATCH fighters in the game right now. Amazing finisher and absolute beast in the ring. Tank Davis is what PPV is all about.

    3. Nonito Donaire - how can you not root for someone who is still killing it at the age of 40? Extremely intelligent and very humble person. And it also doesn't hurt that Donaire has won me some nice coin as the underdog the last few years! Put him in the HOF!

    4. Tyson Fury - great ambassador for the sport and a once in a generation type talent. Very charismatic high IQ fighter and this is coming from someone who wasn't a fan of his at first. The king at heavyweight and depending on what transpires in the future... Fury might go undefeated in his career. All hail the king!

    5. Terence Crawford - just a joy to watch. High IQ dynamic fighter who can deliver both orthodox and southpaw style. A P4P talent what more can you say.

    6. Joseph Parker - Parker's career has lost momentum since his fight with AJ but Joseph remains one of the top heavyweights and in my opinion has the 2nd best chin at HW after Joyce. Personally I'm a fan because Parker legit seems like one of the good guys in boxing and is very humble which makes it very easy to root for him.

    7. Arthur Beterbiev - the boogeyman of the light heavyweight division. This man is a monster and one of the biggest punchers I've ever seen in my life. You don't want the smoke.

    8. Jean Pascal - entertaining fighter inside and outside the ring but personally one of my favorites because of how much money I've made betting on him the past few years. Thanks Jean!

    9. Virgil Ortiz Jr - a superstar in the making future P4P member without a doubt. Imo...Ortiz is the future of boxing.

    10. Lomachenko - the most technically sound fighter I've ever seen and truly a once in a lifetime type talent. And being that I'm Ukrainian... this is our guy. P4P #1 in my book. Loma is GREATNESS.

    Honorable Mentions - Danny Jacobs.. GGG.. Canelo .. Porter.. Pacman.. Spence.. Inoue.. Usyk.. Richard Commey

    Pascal is a shocker, as is Inoue being left off. But it is your list and it isn't that bad.

    Chisora - Always good for a headline, fights anyone and when he's motivated will always give it his all.

    Inoue - Who doesn't love an exciting puncher? Plus he has a quiet and humble demeanour, is technically very good and has an iron chin. Nothing more fun that watching a fighter who's exciting and unbeaten and a KO specialist rise to prominence.

    Usyk - Love his skills, his ring smarts, funny guy too and an amazing dancer plus looks like a stone cold killer, what's not to like.

    Joshua - Looks the part, is ambitious, willing to fight anyone, brought back the prestige and interest to the heavyweight division which has long been lacking.

    Pac - Living legend and still trying to fight the best.

    Joyce - Fun addition to the heavyweight scene and genuinely seems a nice guy. I don't expect him to beat the top guys but he'll be entertaining I suspect no matter what happens.

    Parker - Being a Parker fan is one for the masochists right now. He's so frustrating to watch, he has the talent but has been hampered by his loyalty to Kevin Barry. But hopefully now with a new trainer in the next couple of years we get to see him fulfill his potential and evolve into a fighter who can compete at the top level.

    Whyte - Great character, whitty and very funny. The HW most deserving of title shot

    Joyce - Just comes across a genuine nice bloke. I earned few quid betting on Joyce who was a big underdog against Dubois. Juggernaut is fitting name to the style of fighter he is. Great engine and relentless pressure.

    AJ - Clearly the best resume in the divison and one of top resumes of all time already. Either has fought every top fighter or attempted to make fights with them to which they turned down.

    Usyk - Despite his lack of English he comes across as charismatic character. For me, with his resume and achievements I consider him the P4P number 1 and greatest CW of all time.

    Bivol - So underrated, this guy is such an intelligent fighter and is a joy to watch. His judging of distance, timing and anticipation is elite.

    Loma - Most skilled and gifted boxer at present. Although his sore loser/bitter words about the Lopez fight was dissapointing to hear from him..

    Babic - a limited fighter but pure entertainment in and out the ring.

    Buasti - I grew up to the town next him and he reminds me a old school mate of mine. Buasti comes across as the nicest, most genuine and humble guy out the British boxers at present. Very impressive pefromance at weekend.

    Benn- I like his attitude and eagerness to fight anyone after his last very impressive peformance in his fight he just wanted to go again and totally fired up from that fight. Already exceeded many peoples (including my own) expectations and improved dramatically.
