    Not having some particular "favorite" boxers, but as for the pros, I've been following Klitschkos, Rigondeaux and Povetkin most closely and Pacquiao as well during his big fights.

    As for the recent period, I always liked to watch the fights of Kessler and Sergio Martinez, and most recently boxers like Golovkin, Lara, Bradley and now Lomachenko.

    As for the ams, following Roniel Iglesias from the most recent Olympics and Yeleussinov since the world championships, as well as a couple of other top amateurs from a couple of years ago who are still active.

    From the 90s, I've been supporting Lewis until his retirement, and then Vitali until he retired. Also liked boxers like Balado and Savon in the amateurs.

    As for the old timers, my pick is Rocky Marciano.

    dumbass ******, Sergio Martinez is from Argentina and I dislike GGG. I like Kovalev, but find a majority of his fanbase gay as ****

    :lol: you mad? I know your bitchass wanted to call me the N word or say some racist ****, so you came up with the closest correlation you could find.

    BTW, Ricky Hatton used to be one of my favorites, but he's retired

    All time
    Ray Leonard: He's just the perfect all-rounder. I haven't seen a nice clean video of Robinson, so instead I go with Leonard.
    Roberto Duran: An all-rounder with a preference for the style I like... Skilled Brawling
    Evander Holyfield: All-Rounder Heavyweight
    Mike Tyson: How can you not love this guy? At a time, he was the perfect fighter.
    Ronald Wright: My favorite boxing style when done right. Defensively responsible but still comes forward aggressively behind a stiff jab.

    Current
    Tim Bradley: A good all-rounder that exceeded my expectations of him. Living proof that boxing skill is more important than physical talent. This guy shouldn't be top 10 p4p, let alone top 3.
    Andre Ward: A GREAT all-rounder, p4p animal. He cleaned out his division, and it was a pretty damn good division when he did it.
    Keith Thurman: A good all-rounder with speed, power, and athleticism. He's not only skilled and powerful, but he's charismatic. And not in the "Floyd Mayweather" villain kinda way...
    Lucas Matthysse: See Roberto Duran. Underrated skills, not so underrated power.
    Danny Garcia: A lot of talent a lot of potential
    Mikey Garcia: One of the most skilled fighters out there
