    Carl The Legend Froch.

    Huge fan, the man is a ****ing warrior although he lost to Dirrell. Big props for the guy.

    Haha, I appreciate that, Beouche, you're a good guy as well but in all honesty I wasn't really trying to put myself down, maybe the way I worded it made it seem that way. :lol:

    Chris Algieri- He's kind of a d-bag but I actually like his style a lot. I'm glad he fought Pac because he was put on my radar. I'm looking forward to the Chris/Khan fight. On a pretty gay note, their pre-fight photos look like they're clothing models.

    BHop- Even though you could claim he's a racist, I think he's just kinda "old school racist" and just kinda speaks his mind without thinking sometimes. Regardless, I wish I would have followed him earlier in his career and I'd really like to see him ring side commentating in the future.

    Wilder- I'm curious about this guy and that may be the only reason I'm following him.

    Shannon the Cannon- Actually, there's no surprise why I like this guy!

    I always had a soft spot for Jermain Taylor.

    Used to like watching him fight. Wanted him to beat Pavlik in the rematch a few years ago and I bet money on him to beat Froch too.

    Never was sure why I liked him so much....

    ahh i got you now :)

    the only people who'll make an impact in this thread are the notorious trolls coming out and admitting they like the guy they troll against, like El Chicano coming out and admitting he's got posters of GGG on his bedroom wall lol

    I'm not sure what people expect of me so I'll just say what you should be expecting.. I'm a fan of high quality boxer punchers first, everything else second. So it's Rigondeaux and Broner that are probably the surprises for me, oh, and three G also. Obviously he fits my criteria but so many times do I find myself having to point of out his faults more than praising because of his already over the top highly delusional fan base he has.

    Lamont Peterson: I really like watching him when he's pressuring his opponents. Probably could've knocked-out Danny Garcia if it wasn't for his stupid gameplan to be negative and box. Uh... I'll try to think of another one. I hate Haymon, and I hate how Peterson keeps his belt everytime he loses.

    Amir Mansour: I picked Cunningham to beat him, but I love watching this man fight.

    Roman Gonzalez: I love watching him even though I think Inoue beats him, and I have beef with him for beating Estrada.

    Ronnie Austion. He's still really young and up and coming, but the dude is a replica of Mayweather minus the ego :p Definitely a future world champion. Oh, also Adrien Broner. The dude is hilarious, and I'll always love him for squashing Malignaggi and utterly embarrassing him the worst ways possible. The whole lead up to the fight and after was hilarious. Broner also called out Khan on camera with Khan next to him, "I'm sitting here. He chose Chris Algieri!!!"

    "I took his belt, and I took his girl." -Broner

    "Don't talk about my side piece!!!!" -Malignaggi

    Broner is a cool guy. If he enters the ring, you see that he is not scared to fight, never pressured. He enjoys that whole boxing thing. He makes also not bad music, his song "Never had it" is not bad. Nothing special but better than most of the US rap that came out after 2005/2006.

    I'm pleasantly surprised with how many people are fessing up. And yeyo monster admitting to liking GGG so there's still hope El Chicano will come forward.:yep

    Floyd Mayweather.

    I'm European and tend to side with boxers like Calzaghe, Froch and W. Klitschko. I've been bashing other American fighters, like Andre Ward, quite a lot.

    But Mayweather is just the real deal. I think he embodiments boxing in a fashion very few others do.

    Zab judah, he loses against every top opponent he faces but i still never miss his fights. Although he's slowed down quite a bit and is not nearly active enough
