Who are your 3 favorite fighters and why?

1. Joe Calzaghe - Followed his career from the beginning, been in some great fights and he's Welsh. Continues to defy his critics and will probably retire undefeated and a British boxing legend. Only criticism is that he didn't travel to the states when he was in his physical prime.

2. Mike Tyson - The one that got me into boxing, absolutely awesome in his prime. I often wonder what he could have achieved if he had stayed with Rooney and Cus never died.

3. Naseem Hamed - The greatest showman I've ever seen in the ring. Shame about the person but an unbelievable talent. I believe he never fulfilled his potential because of ego and money. He was half the fighter by the time he fought Barrera.

 

Adamek - skills
Margarito - heart
Toney - master defence

 

Past:

Eubank, Benn, Lewis

Present:

Abraham, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko

Why? I like their boxing styles and their personalties...I especially like Eubank...he's special, very special
AA and Vitali are true ring warriors, Wlad has great technique, Benn was a monster puncher like AA and Lewis was simply the best heavyweight ever.

 

toney-he keeps his skills even though he is fat and old and he gives great sound clips
kelly-really down to earth guy who knows where he comes from and man can he hit
wlad-went through alot and is still going at it even though he was written off time and time again

 

joe louis {he was an artist...never wasted a punch...and always knew where to punch, the man could burst a fighters liver with a 6 inch shot}

muhammad ali {look at ali against cleveland williams or zora folley...just amazing}

and...michael watson {just loved watching him...great tight defense and great boxing brain...just great to watch}

 

michael watson, yes, forgot to mention him...he was stunning.

 

CURRENT

JMM-been a fan for about 10 years now and he has become more fun to watch. Amazing skills!

PAC-Hated that he beat MAB but I'm not one to hold a grudge, a truly special fighter!

Margarito-The man gives 100% in every fight. Love the way he tries to take his opponent's soul punch by punch(like Chavez used to)

Mosely and Cotto round off my top 5(couldn't leave them out)

 

Tito Trinidad-his heart and punching power
Marvin Hagler-defined the word tough
Mike Tyson-never had an adrenaline rush like i did watching a young tyson

 

Roy Jones Jr - The most insane talent I have ever seen in the ring, even through his losses, he never failed to be a heroic figure to me, never will.

Shane Mosley- I love his style, took on anybody, even bigger or much younger stars of the ring, or ones that had stylistic advantages over him that many fighters would have avoided. Plus he is a total class act and nice guy.

Marco Antonio Barrera- The guy never failed to impress me...even when he was clearly past his best. He has the heart of a warrior, I love the way he gets hit and gets pissed and fights fire with fire.

 

I got more then 3 favorite fighters, but I'll just list 3 randomly.

1. Chad Dawson - Will dominate the LHW division.
2. Zab Judah - He still has some fight in him left. Judah can win a world title in either WW or JWW just needs a new trainer, someone like Mayweather Sr.
3. Eddie Chambers - The best American heavyweight, I really think he threw the fight away against Povetkin.
