Re: Your Favorite Current Boxer ?

Lucian Bute', Robert Guerrero.

I love watching him fight, but he doesn't fight enough to be on my list - the guy Sal mentioned, Pretty Boy Floyd.

I like Bute and that quick left to the body he throws.

Re: Your Favorite Current Boxer ?

I will go through weight classes

Heavyweights: Wlad Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, Tomas Adamek, and David Haye

Cruiserweight/Light Heavyweight: Steve Cunningham, Tavoris Cloud, and Jean Pascal (though I believe Hopkins will beat him, again

Middleweights: Andre Ward, Lucian Bute (though he should have lost the first fight to Librado Andrade), Sergio Martinez, Kelly Pavlik, and Miguel Cotto

Welterweight: Manny Pacquaio, Floyd Mayweather, Victor Ortiz, Tim Bradley, Marcos Maidana, and Zab Judah

Lightweight and below: Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios, and Yuriokis Gamboa

Wow, I can't believe I have 21 favorites, but if I have to watch just one or two it would be Manny Pacquaio and David Haye. Mayweather, Ward, Maidana, and Gamboa aren't to far behind.

Kelly Pavlik. I'm actually more interested in his May 7th undercard fight with Alfonso Lopez than the Pacquiao-Mosley main event.

Lucian Bute (though he should have lost the first fight to Librado Andrade)

That left to the body has felled some of the toughest in boxing. Andrade had never been knocked down or out til he fought Bute. When Bute nailed him in their second fight with that shot to the top of the abs he was done. Vs. the like of Kessler and some others he walked through bombs, never falling.

Yeah Sausage, Bute-Andrade I was controversial, and had Bute tired himself out in the 11th Andrade would have won. The ref was over-doing it a little in the 12th, but in the end Bute was up at three or four. The announcers even stated as much. What surprised me was how many hard shots Bute withstood from Magee. He didn't wither at all. That let me know Bute pulled a Foreman in Zaire and tired himself out in Andrade I.

I look forward to him fighting Kessler and Ward, assuming Ward wins the S6. I just hope Ward can keep the headbutts to a minimum.

I see what kind of boxers you like now. Both have big mouths, hand pick their opponents, rely (or used to rely in the case of RJJ) solely on their reflexes and athleticism, and have suspect chins and hearts. I kept telling people throughout the late 90s and early 00s when RJJ was being heralded as potentially the most dominant boxer of all time that the only reason for all his success was because of who he was fighting. If he had not avoided Michalczewski and Calzaghe, he would have lost sooner.

We all saw what happened when there was a fighter who wasn't afraid of RJJ and stood in there and landed flush (See Tarver-Jones II). Lights out baby!

As for Mayweather, he's cut from the same cloth. He can claim that he doesn't need to fight Pac-man because he's undefeated and the best pound for pound fighter in the world all he wants (RJJ used the same excuses to duck opponents, by the way) but the fact of the matter is he knows it is a fight he is at risk of losing. Mayweather struggles with pressure fighters. Plus, I don't care what his record says, Mayweather actually lost to both Castillo and De La Hoya.

Paq, Saul Alvarez, Martinez.

These. I would also add Juan Manuel Marquez and both Morales and Barrera to the list. Although, Morales and Barrera are becoming less "current."

FistofRage, I am starting to see more and more that we share the same boxing tastes.

[MoutonDocile]

My favorites are :

-Lucian Bute
Great Talent and just a great guy all around.

-Pacman
Exciting to watch and he doesn't avoid good boxers.

-Sergio Martinez
Power.

-Floyd
Even though he's one annoying brat, in the ring he's very impressive.
