    Hes a lot more likeable since he toned down the Calzaghe BS. He has the odd dig now and again but seems to accept they won't fight.

    Nathan Cleverly. Most of these guys have held world titles already at some point so I'm gonna back an up and coming prospect.

    I just admire him for calling Audley Harrison a pretender.

    I'd have to go for Hatton, but I must say despite his chin, Amir Khans got shedloads of potential, will probly hold a world title wether he becomes a truly "world-class" fighter or not

    ricky hatton - obviously. :yep

    james degale - been a fan for about 3 and a half yrs now. really good talent. :bbb

    anthony small - not sure he beats rhodes. but always liked his persona tbh. does it with a touch of humour. :yep

    kevin mitchell - he's my favourite of the 3 young prospects (khan, murray, mitchell). loads of heart and really good engine. like to see him move on and get some meaningful fights this year.

    Craig Mcewan - had the balls to leave the UK and now has real potential to be a top guy at the weight

    David Haye - absolute ****ing legend, i'm the only person I know who knew about him before he turned pro. Followed him for near on 8 to nine years now, always found it laughable after the Enzo fight when people would ask me if I know that David Haye guy....erm, yes, i've been his biggest fan since before you even started watching boxing. Sheesh.

    Jon Thaxton - Classic tale of underdog and event filler turned good. By no means world class but still a formidable foe.

    John Simpson - And same goes for the wee man.

    Michael Gomez, same as it was before Calzaghe retired. I like most British fighters though, apart from Witter.

    Haye and Hatton are my favorite British boxers, but, I've always been a fan of the bare knuckle brawlers as well. Bronson, McLean, Savage, Shaw, Gorman, Monagahn, etc. though they aint current.
