    ever since i saw his fight with Torres, i've been a big fan. He's currently my favorite fighter and i think it's just his style of fighting. Not to mention the man has heart tenfold and comes to fight everytime. I like it when he's an aggressor and trying to break his opponents will and body with thunderous shots and i also like when he tries on the boxing shoes and moves around the ring like he did in the latter part of the mosley fight. I think it's hard to not like the guy unless he's up against your favorite fighter.

    He wears his heart on his sleeve, he's not much for pre-fight hype nonsense, hes one hell of a fighter and he's a family man. His ringwalk with both his kids at his sides was absolutely brilliant.

    He shows up to fight, has heart, doesn't talk to much trash, and makes no excuses when he looses.

    He doesn't talk smack but always gives the fans exciting fights. Ducks no one and has a ton of heart. All boxing fans like those traits in a fighter

    He's exciting, he's got a massive heart, he's a very good boxer, he'll fight anyone, he doesnt disrespect opponents, the scenes with his family from 24/7 episodes etc etc.

    He's my favourite ever fighter.

    Humble, respectful, fights his ass off, has like 10 recent or current world titlists on his resume'. I think it's the total package that makes people like him.
