Yeah I loved watching prime Roy fight as well.:good Just curious as to your other 2 favourite fighters all time ?
it's pretty clichèd but i dont give a **** , ali is my favourite of all time, i grew up with my dad idolising him and watching his fights, his toughness coupled with his skill is something i don't think we will ever see again. Roy is in there of course and the other would probably be the guy in my avatar jmm. Jmm to me is such a beautiful precise counter puncher and i think he tends to get underrated when compared to erik morales and barrera unfairly. Im quite a modern student of the game so that's why those guys ( apart from ali) are in there. Who are your favourite boxers francis
I respect JM Marquez's skills like yourself. My favourites over the years have been Leonard, Hearns. Leonard for his all round dazzling skills and Hearns for his brutality but also his vulnerability in fights and amazing heart he showed. De La Hoya because whilst no being the best of his era his fights were always exciting and big events, he fought everyone at numerous weights including having the balls to fight Bhop at middle when he started his career at junior lightweight and he was a ****ing warrior. Speaking of warrior, what boxing fan doesn't love Evander Holyfield. Finally I really love the pure boxing skills of guys like Mayweather, Whittaker and Bhop. While their fights are often boring and uneventful I can really appreciate the skills on offer for the viewer.
I was also a really big de la hoya fan, he combined business with boxing wonderfully and i think he gave mayweather his most difficult fight to date,felix trinidad is also another favourite that springs to mind. Im a huge mayweather fan also and i really hope he announces another fight soon.
