    There is no fifth. There are others I follow though but I don“t consider myself a fan of them.

    1. Haye - I'm on the bandwagon atm just like every other british boxing fan

    2. Pac - the guy doesnt stop giving excitement (apart from clottey, but that can only be considered a glorified punching bag session)

    3. Mayweather - Just: Pure talent

    4. Nathan Cleverly - Not well known in the states yet, but i'm sure calzaghes ex-sparring partner is going to go far in the next 5 years after picking up the british, commonwealth and european light-heavyweight titles whilst fighting part time as he's studying for his maths degree

    5. Frankie Gavin - An excellent prospect from my hometown of birmingham. Former amateur world champion, undefeated in first six fights with five KO's. wish he would stop using the birmingham city football club badge though

    Juan Manuel Marquez - Good fighter, sportsman and champion.

    Mosley - Lots of talent, hard working and likable.

    Wladimir Klitschko - First feared, dominant, beast of a HW since 1989 Tyson. Nobody out there can hang with him.

    Ricky Hatton - Brings it, goes toe to toe, always funny and is an everyday type of guy you might go drinking with.

    Emmanuel Agustus - The guy seriously just doesn't give a **** what anyone thinks, and occasionally pulls some ability out of his ass. Always entertaining.

    1) Floyd Mayweather- most complete fighter I have seen since Sugar Ray Leonard

    2) Manny pACQUIAO- He is one of the most exciting in the sport, a joy to watch but his fans are a bit much

    3) Juan Manuel Marquez- Always in a great fight, one of the best counterpunchers in the game, love that he combines the skills and the toughness of the Mexican greats

    4) Sugar Shane Mosely- Always tries his best, is a humble hard working guy and was a complete beast at lightweight years ago

    5)Chad Dawson-could develop into the dominant light-heavyweight for years to come...I like his combination punching, southpaw jab, and heart....he doesnt have the best defense and has holes but makes up for it with heart and improving his ring generalship

    I don't know if I could reduce it to just five, but I could can certainly list a longtime darkhorse favorite of mine: Sergei Dzindziruk.

    In no particular order:

    Froch - He really will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. How a true fighter should be.

    Pacman - Pure excitement almost every fight.

    Cotto - I've always really liked his style.

    Juan Manuel Marquez - Fearless fighter with awesome skills.

    David Haye/Amir Khan - Neither are a 'favourite' fighter of mine, but I love watching them fight as anything can happen.

    Honorable mentions: Martin Lindsay, Marty Rogan, Alexei Acosta (saw this guy fight a few times, and he was sparring at my gym not that long ago, terrific prospect).
