    Amir Khan. He's fast and furious. I like his fighting style.

    I'm not British, but I've always liked Lennox Lewis and Nigel Benn.

    Currently, I like Amir Khan and David Haye.

    Good choice with benn. With Benn, watson and Eubank you had three very good middleweights.

    favourite fighters from the past:
    Lennox Lewis: first fight I ever saw(or remember) was Lewis v Bruno. Loved the fight and a Great performance by both fighters.
    Lewis not exactly a fan favourite then, but some of his skills were clear to see.
    Obviously his fights against Holyfield stand out in the memory.

    Prince Naseem Hamed: Never liked him from the start, always felt he talked too much. But he always backed up his words, and as a showman he was different class.
    Found out when he fought at the highest level, but I always feel the Naz that fought MAB was not the same fighter of even 3 years earlier. Even though he was only 27(I think) when he squared off against MAB.

    Favourite fighters today:
    ......

    no one springs to mind.

    British fighters I respect today.....David Haye, not really a big fan of his though.

    Id go with Haye and Khan both very skilled and fast but both cant really take a good shot which makes there fights always that bit more exciting.

    Joe Calzaghe - the way he used to walk into the ring where he exuded utter coolness. That was phenomenal. You don't see many fighters exuding that sort of confidence.

    Frankie Gavin is a one I'm looking out for in the future. Have high hopes. I like Southpaws - they are different.

    All time
    Frank Bruno - A true heavyweight example of rough and tough

    Currently
    Amir Khan - So explosive and dangerous offensively, but has a very clear weakness that could give anyone a chance to beat which makes for exciting fights.

    As a person = Haye
    In terms of skill = Khan
    In terms of courage & balls = Froch
