Your favourite 3 fighters and why!

pac- with that awkward yet exciting style, still cant believe his success.
cotto- a silent operator, he means business, how he gives pain to his opponent.
pbf- my favorite to hate, simply too good and makes me want to see him lose just once(hopefully not from an ass like himself). then i'd be happy to see him win all his fights till he retires(again).

 

1. Roy Jones Jr. just a beast in his prime. he had no equals ever. plus i went to the same elementary school as him (not at the same time, im only 23!)


2. Muhammad Ali do i really have to explain why?!


3. Rocky Marciano not the most gifted boxer at all, hell he wasn't even that skilled. but he was brave, always came to fight, respectable, humble, a hard worker. and on top of all that he had a hell of a right hand.

 

I like these guys now Cunningham, Vlad, Flores these are nice guys I am sure there are other nice guys out there. Sam Peter is a nice guy I like him and wish him well I just prefer Boxer types.

 

1 Mikkel Kessler - I just love his classic and powerful boxing style.
2 Kelly Pavlik - No bull**** fighter and a great heart.
3 Librado Andrade - He takes the hard way, great person.

Past

1 Ali - THE GREATEST !!!!
2 Monzon - Allways performing
3 Hearns - Exiting and a lot of power

 

Cristian Mijares - just too cool.

Ricky Hatton - britains most popular fighter ever, just a great down to earth guy, also extremely funny.

Yuriorkis Gamboa - i like watching him just for the pure excitement of what he could go on and achieve, i expect something special whenever i watch him

 

Miguel Cotto- very skillful boxer who has the power to knock u out

Roy Jones Jr- most skilled fighter of his era and a top ATG

Ricardo Torres- heavy handed and has shown he has plenty of heart

 

Joe Calzaghe - Phenom, normally in an exciting bout, awesome awkward style, great skills and one of the original Supernatural's.

Cristian Mijares - Amazing boxer, went underlooked for a while and is really starting to improve at a scary rate, when he hits his absolute peak I don't think anybody 118 or under can even compete with him. Poetry in motion.

Joan Guzman - What can I say, I love flash, but only when it's backed up by great amounts of substance and aside from being lightning quick, multi-dimensional, accurate etc. He's also seemingly unbreakable, having an iron chin and body and can take a hell of a shot even tired without blinking. Entertainment.

 

I figured we would see something about the supernatural triumverant.

My three:

1) Marvin Hagler. I idolize this man. Arguably the best chin ever, a pure boxer that could bang with the best if he wanted.

2) Yuriorkis Gamboa. It gives me chills thinking about what this guy could go on and accomplish. A true freak of nature

3) Alexander Povetkin. How can you not like a heavyweight that throws 800+ punches every fight with arguably the best mental toughness in the game?

 

KOSTYA TSZYU

For and for most isnt a mouthy guy but more a pure genltemen of our great sport.
Gracious when winning aswell as Gracious in defeat. Never made excuses and after injuring himself twice and being out of the ring came back at 34 years old and won against all the odds.
Also one the better things about he made our sport better to watch and by this ive never seen a dull fight that Kostya was in. You got your moneys worth. Always edge of your seat type stuff with great Ring command aswell as Power.

MARVIN HAGLER
All i can say about Marvin is that even though at the start of his career wasnt the most gifted or never had all the skills but worked his ass off to get better and better and better.
And guess what happened he become great. Not only Great to watch (Hagler vs Hearns Probably Greatest fight my eyes have ever seen) but also had this unique thing about him. Cant really say what but he was loved by everyone i feel a true underdog sort of guy. Great Great Champ.

MANNY PACQUIAO
Now i know most think his fans are nuthhuggers from the Phillipines. But not me in a time when our boxing is more about Money and Keeping records and not taking risks. I truely believe that Manny has always fought great opponents and i think going from Flyweight Champ to Super Featherweight Champ and Maybe future Lightweight Champ is something not real easy to do.
He is Explosive to watch with Fast hands Great Power and makes our sport more of an International sport like say Soccer. Not Just a Sport for North America. And when Manny is finished his career i think there will be alot of fans wishing he was still fighting and could keep fighting forever like a Marvin Hagler. Actually that is sort of who he reminds me of but a smaller version for me anyway.

so
1. Tszyu
2. Hagler
3. Pacquiao

 

1- Roy Jones Jr - I mean there is no need for an explanation
2- Mike Tyson - B/c he Knock people the f**k out lol
3-Floyd Mayweather Jr. - I appreciate his boxing ability. May not be the most entertaining fighter, but from a person that boxes I can appreciate his skill and what he does, so he is one of my faves.

Uhm I have other favorites, but im 1/2 sleep right now and im fallin out at the comp.

 

AWESOME POST!!!!

 

1.Pacquiao (Most exciting fighter today IMO plus us Pinoys stick together)
2.Berto (Love the power and speed plus got the S. Florida ties)
3.Gamboa/Cotto (Gamboa's talent is unbelievable/ Cotto is the most complete fighter IMO)

 

All Time:

Alexis Arguello: This man personified the phrase "excellence of execution." Alexis was a true ring technician who did not give a rat's ass about your fight plan because he knew you could not execute it perfectly, and everytime you made a mistake he would make you PAY! It's really a shame that people pay so much attention to his fights with Pryor. He was considerably past his best and fighting 2 divisions above his best weight.

Tommy Hearns: The Motor City Cobra! Just click the link and enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZdLJAYzV9M

Danny "Little Red" Lopez: when Danny retired Boxing Today Magazine devoted about 1/3 of an edition to Danny's career. The title of the article was Danny "Little Red" Lopez: Knock him down, He'll Get Up and Kill Ya! Arguably the hardest hitting featherweight of all time.

Favorites Now:

Kelly Pavlik: I just love his balls to the wall -- Take no prisoners attitude. A humble and very likable guy outside the ring: a stone cold killer in the ring!

Miguell Cotto: For all the reasons others have already mentioned.

Fulgencio Zuniga: Under rated, under respected, and under promoted, but he's one of the most excting fighters to watch in the sport today.

 

Right now I'd say Cotto, Andrade and Bute.

 

Roy Jones- Besides Tyson what black kid couldn't lllok up to him in midle and Highschool.

Shane Mosley- Brings the pain win or lose he still fights his ass off and takes on everybody.

Floyd Mayweather_ Honestly that shoulder roll attracted me to him, also the smartest boxer I seen this era of fighters
