Mijares - He is just "Too Cool" for everyone he gets into the ring with.

Past:
Tito Trinidad - Just because he brought me and our whole town a lot a lot of hype and good times! When you got a boxer that can take an entire town and get over 1,000 people out of their homes (in milwaukee, wisconsin) To cheer after a victory than you have successfully connected with your fans!

Erik Morales - This guy was the man, my favorite Mex fighter...He epitomizes the term warrior.

James Toney - Fearless, hard to hit, Great counters, ABSURD chin, trash talker that backed up his talk. Whats there not to love?

3) James Toney - The greatest chin, defense, and warrior mentality.

Next 3:

Ricardo Mayorga - Exciting, ballsy, and great press conferences
Diego Corrales - The biggest heart I ever saw.
Old George Foreman - I couldn't help but root for the lovable fat man.

( same reason for all 3,they have lots of heart and deternination and a will to win that does not go away and you have to amdire someoine who knows what he wants and will do whatever it takes to get it.

 

1)Mike Tyson - don't need a reason

2)MAB - his performance against Hamed was an amazing display of boxing. Mexican warrior.

3)Arturo Gatti - Not the most talented boxer in the world but did have some skills and had some amazingly exciting fights to say the least.

Close Calls - Ricky Hatton, Sugar Shane, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Evander Holyfield, Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik

 

1. Kelly Pavlik, He'll break your face
2. Miguel Cotto, he'll break your body
3. Roy Jones Jr. too much fun to watch, Roy Jones is legend

 

......................Okay.........


1. Salvador Sanchez - Exemplified what a champion should aspire to be; truly professional in every way. Dedicated, hard-working guy that harnessed his gifts into a signature style that seemed made just for him. If there was ever a fighter designed to fight the 15 round distance, it was him. Patient, superbly conditioned counterpuncher who was truly the thinking man's fighter. Always respectful of his opponents, and they returned the favor in defeat. Not a bad legacy to leave.

2. Bobby Chacon - Bobby pulls on the heartstrings. An ex-gang leader in southern California, he made his life better by racking up a string of early wins, but his excesses led to a few losses at the highest level. Still, he was so forthright and self-effacing that you couldn't help but sympathize, and so unbelieveably exciting in the ring that you had to root for him. You felt Bobby's pain in life through his adventures in the ring, and knew that no matter how hard it got for him, he was gonna come back firing. His fights with with Limon and Boza-Edwards are the stuff of legend. He was Gatti before Gatti, only more exciting. It was as if he couldn't be in a bad fight.

3. Alexis Arguello - I like him for many of the same reasons I like Sanchez; skilled, professional, gentlemanly, and a tutorial in the finer points of the game. Proof that you could be a gentleman outside the ring and a stone-cold killer inside it.

Joe Calzaghe:
Brilliant performances like the wins over Lacy and Kessler. Coming back from adversity in the Mitchell and Hopkins fights. He never disappoints me.

Cristian Mijares:
Great displays of boxing skills and natural reflexes, such as the Navarro, Arce and Munoz fights. He never disappoints either.

Kelly Pavlik:
Showed ability to overcome adversity in fights with Zuniga and Taylor I, coming back from being knocked down to win by KO. Showed courage in walking Miranda down, and eventually knocking him out. Showed good boxing skills, fitness and stamina by winning the last two rounds in Taylor II, in a fight I had scored five rounds each after 10.
