Identical to me.BIGMARK wrote:my favorite fighter was James Toney but since all the drug use stuff i seem to be looking for a replacement. I have followed Haye since his amatuer days so am keen on him as i always was Benn, i guess i'm a sucker for fighters who put it all on the line.
I love fighters who're good for the sport.
Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
Sugar Ray Leonard.
My favourite British fighter in recent times was Spencer Oliver.

Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
Nigel Benn always great entertainment.
Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
All time favorite is Tyson, British between Froch and Haye for the the way they approch the sport and world scene its Cotto.
Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
Lennox Lewis is actually my fav of all time.
Currently I would say Haye, because he is bringing some excitement to the heavyweight at last.

Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
a ludicrously tough question....but I will say,
Joe Calzaghe...just love his style.
then several American heavies from the 70s plus Holyfield and Tyson. Also liked to follow Michael Hunter over here recently. And Sugar Ray Leonard.

Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
I have, barring a KO against was it Holyfield or someone?? never seen James Toney fight. Everyone raves about him. I'd like to get hold of a DVD on him.
Also Pernell Whittaker sounded useful.

spencer oliver great boxer its a shame how things ended, his brother use to train me
Re: Who is your favorite boxer and....
All time - Jack Dempsey. Totally ferocious, hard as nails, ruled in glamourous times when men were allowed to be men, boxing was the king of sports, the Heavyweight Champion of the World was the most famous sportsman in the world, when guys really fought hard and often. Jacks only downside is some protective matchmaking once he won the title. However I love him and the Willard smashing and the the Firpo knockdown thriller. Named my son Harrison in honour of Dempsey
Fav active - none. No one really lights my fire anymore. Like Haye, Mayweather, Pac, Marquez and a couple others but since Lennox retired it is rare that I HAVE to watch any fight. I miss the days of the world stopping when a big fight was on but that might be more to other priorities in my own life rather than something changed in boxing.
