Bernard Hopkins...He'll pick apart Calazghe, Pavlik or Kessler in my opinion. he's gotten better and more exciting with age...

Agreed I hate Floyd he is a cocky son of a gun and coming out with a sombrero on against oscar was just classless please Hatton Knock Him Out

Bean, obviously.

Also a big Vitali Klitschko fan. Roberto Duran was pretty kickass as well.

Seems like a lot of people have forgotten what a bad mutha
Sugar Ray Leonard was.

Also

Pernell Whitaker

and

Roberto Duran (Gotta love the music )

Juan Manuel Marquez....I think JMM is the best Boxer right now in boxing...this guy has it all..Speed,Skill,Power,Heart and knows how to use them all in a very balanced way....Amazing boxer.. currently my fav.

Miguel Cotto....great wars...keeps coming forward and landing powerful shots till he puts you away...great body shots

Kelly Pavlik....also not jumping on the wagon...everyone here knows im a huge boxing fan,and in fact love boxing more than MMA....I have been watching Pavlik for a while on FSN..very humble guy..great boxer

Barrera....Been in some of the best wars..long time favorite...Positive he will beat Pacquiao in the rematch..he has to.

Paulie Malignaggi...who fought a tough war with Cotto,but I have also been watching him for a while on FSN....Gotta love a guy that talks smack,and actually goes in there and backs it up..or dies trying

Juan Diaz...very quick exciting fighter that dont stop throwing punches

Rafael Marquez.....Israel Vasquez....Erik Morales...Cant forget Diego "Chico" Corrales..RIP.

These are my current favorites.....but of course 5-10 years ago this wasnt the case...back then it was Tito Trinidad..Fernando Vargas...DLH...Gatti..RJ Jr.


WAR BOXING!!!!

Tyson, he was a tank. Right now Hatton is probably my favourite, because he is the boy.

Jake Lamotta.

Anyone who has seen the movie Raging Bull should know Lamotta was a nut.

A lot of people seem to dislike Whitaker for the same reason they don't like Lyoto Machida; elusive fighter with a nearly impenetrable defense.Unlike Lyoto or even Mayweather though, he didn't stick and move back so much as just stand close to his opponents and do this Matrix bullet-dodging stuff....

.....or maybe it's just the cocaine thing

As far as current boxers, I'm surprised that noone has mentioned John Duddy.Every time I watch him fight I find myself more impressed.

Parnell Whitaker was amazing back in the day... As was Evander Holyfeild...

I"ll tip the hat to Marciano as well... I don't hink he'd fair well in the HW div now, as the fighters are much more technical and he was a smaller guy...

Now a days, I like B-Hop and Pacqiou(sp?)

EDIT: I've always liked Tommy Hearns as well
