Re: Favorite fighters.
I love risky punchers with skill. IE... Maidana, Thurman, Golovkin, Pacquiao. They make boxing awesome.

G
Manny
Keith
Maidana
However, even though Maidana is last on that list, and even though he is more known for his aggression and power, he still has a high level of skill when compared to the entirety of everyone in the sport. He has a great jab and great footwork which enables him to cut off the ring well. Even against Floyd he was able to cut off the ring plenty of times. It was then that Floyd would consistently tie up and Kenny would reset them. Plus, his aggression is a skill in itself. A lot of peole act as if Maidana is just some raw brawler when that simply is not the case.

Re: Favorite fighters.
LOL, I forgot Golovkin & Kovalev.
I'm really looking forward to Saunders/Eubank Jr. They don't make fights like that in the US anymore.

Two top-level domestic prospects. That is a good match-up even if one guy clearly wins.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:LOL, I forgot Golovkin & Kovalev.

My favorites are: Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko, R. Gonzalez, Matthysse, Froch, Kessler, Clottey, M. Garcia, Frampton, Katsidis, Pacquiao, and W. Klitschko. I am a fan of prospects like Zewski, Kavaliauskas, Khytrov, Usyk, Tanaka, and others.

Re: Favorite fighters.
I always find it funny that people who hate FMJ's holding enjoy Klitschko and his holding style.
