My favorite now is Cotto with Pavlik as my second. I just enjoy watching these two guys desmantle their opponents. I hate fighters who rely on running to beat their opponents. Who's yours?
Cotto. He brings it every single fight. Can't fault him for anything he does in or out of the ring... And his fighting style is a perfect combination of a patient boxer and an aggressive finisher... Hopkins, MAB and Juan Diaz are up there, too.
Hopkins. I like technical fighters and I admire the fact he had to struggle to get to the top. His story is a compelling one for me.
Holyfield is still active so he's it for me. If he beats Ibragimov it's gonna be party central in my house.
Mikkel Kessler, because I like the dignified way in which he carries himself in and out of the ring. He´s also focused like few other boxers that I have seen. The next few years will show if he´s something really great, or just good - it´ll be interesting to follow.
Absolutely true. Once my man Evander retires, Kessler will assume office of being my favorite fighter. :good
1-Mayweather-sooo much skill and intelligence and beauty in what he does, his last couple of fights have been boring but before that it was pure boxing lightining. e's an immature spoiled brat, but the question wan't who do you want to have dinner with 2-Paul Williams. 3-Kelly Pavlik
Calzaghe. Hes from near where I grew up, is a great fighter to watch and seems like a nice guy outside the ring too.
i tend to admire all elite boxers, no matter what their style. floyd for his freakish abilities, skill and defense. hatton for his bulldog mentality. pavlik for his kostya tyszu style beatdowns (well it seems that way to me sometimes). wladimir klitschko for his awesome power, atheletic ability for a big man, skills toney for what he has done with a small body against big fighters there's plenty more like cotto, pacman, calzaghe, kessler etc. but i enjoy them all virtually equally. BUT to make life easier for me, if two favs fight i tend to go with the one who i like personality wise. for example i can't stand floyd and toney with their trashtalk so if they are going against someone else i like better even if they are inferior technically-wise, i'll root against them. for example im going for hatton against floyd in their match up even though i feel floyd might have too much for ricky. but i just cannot barrack for a smartass!
