    but you shouldn't?

    i am british so will stand up for calzaghe, lewis, naz, benn, eubank and all british fighters if anyone has anything bad to say about them. But i grew up idolising roy jones and there is no reason why i should especially now.

    Are you saying that you primarily like British fighters only because you are British

    You have good taste in fighters. It is not "wrong" to like a fighter who is not British. My favourite fighter of all time is Roy and if he had got in the ring with a competitive British fighter, I would have supported Roy because he is the greatest. He got in the ring with Clinton Woods and I was cheering for Roy to take him out.

    Zab Judah

    I should not like him. I do anyway. I'm one of those dudes who still thinks Judah could be a great.

    I'm sure plenty fans feel the same way you do, I actually think Zab still has the tools but for obvious reasons I can't trust him.

    Ren - Its only natural my man, just like when as a young boy you get an erection after dropping quarters under your grandmothers skirt just to see what color panties she's wearing. Its only natural to support fighters from your own country.

    i think Zab Judah has the physical tools, but is mentally weak in relation to great or even elite fighters. Cotto fight earned some respect from me because he didn't throw a tantrum or do another chicken-dance, but he'll never be "great"

    Vernon Forrest. I was watching when he beat Mosley the first time and I was shocked because Shane was pretty good and was p4p #1 or 2. But deep inside I was really impressed with Forrest. Of course, I was pissed watching that uncoordinated piece of **** Mayorga whoop his ass twice, but I still like Forrest though.

    Paulie Malinaggi. He's great but damn, he always reminds me of those BoyBand back in my college days. :)
