    Pretty self-explanatory.

    My current favourite fighter is Manny Pacquiao, and my favourite performance of his was the rematch win over Erik Morales. I love Morales too and although I thought Pac could avenge his defeat, I wasn't too confident. It was a thrilling fight and ending.

    My favourite fighter ever is Roberto Duran, and my favourite performance of his was his 2nd fight with Esteban de Jesus. The all-time lightweight master at work, getting up off the canvas for a KO victory and revenge. Boxing at its best.

    How about you fine gentlemen?

    My favourite fighter of all-time is Arturo Gatti, and my favourite performance of his was the KO victory over Wilson Rodriguez. A great come from behind win for Arturo who wah KD in the 2nd,finished it with his signature left hook.It was a fight I will remember forever

    pacman is my favorite current fighter for the excitement he brings I still like his first fight with barrera even though it was a beatdown he looked wicked that night and ali in ali frazier 1 even though he lost he had lost his legs after years out of boxing ,and it was the first time he ever took a beating ,that fight was fantastic and thought it was better than ali frazier 3 which most people prefer

    Tyrell Biggs stopping David Bey in what was a WBA final Iliminator for a shot at Undisputed Champ Mike Tyson.. The fight should have been a breeze but after a couple of rounds, Bey and Biggs clashed heads and Tyrells eye split open and he was on the verge of having his dreams shattered.. The doctor literally told the Duva corner that Biggs had a round to come up with something because the eye was worsening.. and in that unreal round Biggs rallied and dropped Bey , and refused to let up forcing the dramatic stoppage and save his shot at the Champion..

    a very recent one for me was the cotto - margo fight, although i wasnt the biggest margo fan i was rooting for him and he came back brilliantly to stop cotto.

    My favourite fighter is ali so there are a couple of performances that were great so hard to choose a favourite but i will go for ali - liston I due to the fact he was given no chance (like the foreman fight) but ouboxed liston throughout the fight and made him quit.

    Plus you could add pretty much any rocky fight :)

    Rafael Marquez, his first fight against Israel vazques was masterful, good jabs and straight rights.

    All time SRL in his fight against Hearns

    I thought Benitez was a far better performance from Leonard.

    My favorite fighter is Juan Manuel Marquez by far. His performance against Pacman in the first fight was truely amazing. I mean to come back from three brutal knockdowns and outbox Pacman was simply breathtaking. JMM number two of all time right behind SRR. Calzaghe vs Bhop, Barrera vs Morales, Cotto, vs Mosley, Wlad vs, Peter, Foreman vs Holyfield. Ali vs Liston, Bhop vs Trinidad, and Roy Jones Jr. whoppn the **** outta Ruiz for the WBA belt.
