    Interesting to see Nel Tarleton mentioned above...

    A personal favourite is Jimmy Kelso... a little battler from down under, who Tarleton bettered.

    Look guys, I'm not saying you are at all wrong in your approach on how to do this.

    Me, I have lots of fighters I admire. I have some that I respect due to nothing more than their abilities. Some, I look at their overall achievements. This thread asks about favorite fighters. That would be a list that would take a lot of time, and still leave out numerous names. That's why I picked fighters that I watched live/fight, and included those that I rooted next to none against.
