Rattle em off: favorite fighter stream of consciousness

IntentionalButt · Jun 20, 2007

Off the top of your head, name every active, relevant fighter you support until you run out or hit a mental pause. Don't worry about leaving someone out, it doesn't have to be comprehensive and you're not going to hurt any pro's feelings by omission. Just lay out an informal roster of boxers you back who have a legitimate presence in the game, so posters can contrast and compare lists. Yours may be more similar or dissimilar than you thought from some of your allies/rivals on the board.

Again, this ISN'T a p4p list. It isn't a who's-best-in-each-division list. It's a completely subjective open-ended list of favorite fighters that spring immediately to mind. Doesn't matter - prospects, journeyman fringe contenders, champions - anyone you cheer on. It does HAVE to be active and relevant fighters, meaning they still have a legitimate presence. I know Tommy Morrison and Yory Boy Campos are still fighting, but you may not include them. :yep

For me (in no particular order):

Shane Mosley
Rafael Marquez
Joel Casamayor
Ike Quartey
Wladimir Klitschko
Silence Mabuza
Israel Vazquez
Joshua Clottey
Jhonny Gonzales
Travis Simms
Juan Manuel Marquez
Miguel Huerta
Humberto Soto
Herman Ngoudjo
Cristian Mijares
Darnell Wilson
Cory Spinks
Tomasz Adamek
Anthony Hanshaw
Mikkel Kessler
Miguel Cotto
Ray Joval
Paulie Malignaggi

Eddie Chambers
JLC

Nate Campbell
Joan Guzman
Luis Collazo
Carlos Quintana
Anthony Peterson
Lamont Peterson
Vic Darchinyan
MAB

Steve Forbes (borderline irrelevant, but undeservedly. he beat D-Hop, damnit)
Juan M Lopez

Runners-up: (on the cusp of irrelevance or too disappointing in recent efforts to include)

James Toney
Edison Miranda
Mayo
JAR
B-Pac
EM

Guys like FMJ, DLH, and BHOP who have one foot out the door, semi-retired etc. - for all practical purposes we'll call them inactive.

It is amazing how many horrifically underrated legends I have listed.

IntentionalButt · Jun 20, 2007

You know what, I was a little harsh on Rivera, I take it back. His performances in his last two losses weren't bad at all, he was just outclassed by grade-A opposition. Besides, he's a local boy and just a swell guy. :thumbsup
