    Must admit I find Mitchell entertaining, but his level of comp needs to be upped!

    I like Moore a lot too. I'm dissapointed I've seem too much of him though. Hopefully he can keep on getting improving in the future. I'd love to see him fight James Kirkland, another favourite of mne, in a few years. If they both keep progressing, it might happen. I can't imagine many better fights than that so hopefully my dream comes true.

    He probably needs a better manager though.

    David Haye - Been following him for a long time now, roughly 2003, a long time before 90% of the people jumped on board after the Mormeck fight. Spoke to him a few times on myspace a few years back too.

    Arthur Abraham - Love his style, which is unusual for me as Im normally more attracted to fluent movers and the A+ technique. Unpredictable, and I like that. I'd put £1,000 on him right now t beat Pavlik.

    Others I follow and like a lot are;

    Danny Jacobs(young yank fighters, going to be a real star and a nice guy to top it off).
    Mikkel Kessler

    Oscar De La Hoya
    Miguel Cotto
    Nate Campbell(Some are offended by his persona but not me, says it like it is, great fighter)
    Alex Arthur
    Craig McEwan( Have high hopes, but also realistic hopes. He has good potential)
    Yuriorkis Gamboa(despite the doubts, still feel he will go on to dominate, been following since the olympics)
    Cristian Mijares(great little fighter, technique is spot on, has the beating of Nonito Donaire)
    Juan Manuel Lopez(great potential, superb power in both fists)

    As posted on my blog

    1- Floyd Mayweather
    2- Kelly Pavlik
    3- Yurorkis Gamboa
    4- David Haye
    5- Paulie Malignaggi
    6- John Duddy
    7- Andy Lee
    8- Joe Calzaghe
    9- Bernard Dunne
    10- Migiel Cotto
    11- Paul McCloskey
    12- Mikkel Kessler
    13- Joan Guzman
    14- Junior Witter
    15- Matt Macklin

    Also
    Edwin Valero, Kevin Mitchell, Paul Smith, Michael Katsidis, Juan Manuel Marquez, Jamie Moore & Daniel Ponce De Leon


    Gamboa is at number 3 but that was cause i watched his whole career the day i made the rankings, he'd fall short of top 5 now, maybe 6-7! Think hes a class act and could be great!

    Havn't included my favorite fighter of all time McCullough because i consider him done and don't want to see him in a ring now either, left Roy Jones out also despite the fact hes still active i dont consider him the boxer he once was nor do i think he needs to be listed for some reason

    As of today my top 5 are Mayweather, Duddy, Pavlik, Haye and Dunne but this can change with my mood

    Wouldnt be fond of Khan, Hopkins or De La Hoya to be honest!

    One thing which suprised me about Lopez the first couple of times I saw him was his accuracy. He's fast and extremely powerful, but it's rare for a fighter to have those attributes and combine them with near perfect timing. For anyone with that kind of power, accuracy is a key attribute.

    I think he's going to go far. I hope he does as he's a great character and representative for boxing. I imagine he'll fight Marquez or Vazquez in a couple of years, when they're past their best, and that will propell him as the next Puerto Rican megastar. He is going to be a bigger name that Cotto, I think.

    Not sure about that, Jack..........

    I would back Molitor to give him a schooling.
