a very good list overall........ but hughie :oo
I know mate it’s a little odd but although he’s not great to watch I’ve got a soft spot for him, he seems a nice lad and he’s got decent skills so just want to see him have a good win and set himself up, he’s capable but seems to have a mental block ala Moorer.

The boxers I'll actually go and watch live, tune in to a fight to watch or at least catch the highlights on Youtube for the next day?

Heavyweight:
All of them, really. Anyone inside the top 15-20.

Cruiserweight:
Briedis, Okole, Dorticos

Light Heavy:
Bivol, Beterbiev, both Smiths, Buatsi, Yarde.

Super Middle:
Canelo, Benavidez.

Middle:
Golovkin, Charlo, Mungia. Eubank, I suppose?

Light Middle:
Charlo

Welter:
Crawford, Spence, Thurman

Not especially interested in anybody below that apart from Tank, Lomachenko and Inoue.

I don't mind that making me a borderline casual. I sort of am these days.

Edit: not really answering the question. 10 fighters?

Fury
Usyk
Joyce
Golovkin
Okole
Bivol
Beterbiev
Canelo
Crawford
Spence

Honorary mentions AJ and would love to see what Wilder has left.

SCORES ON THE DOORS TO DATE THEN

Divisions with the most interest:
1. Heavyweight 39 fighters listed
2. Welterweight 26 fighters listed
3. Lightweight 22 fighters listed

Boxers with most interest:
Crawford: 7 lists
Spence: 6 lists
Ennis: 6 lists
Usyk: 6 lists

Canelo, Tank, Inoue & Ryan Garcia - All made 5 lists

So, I guess some conclusions are that despite the depth of talent, the heavyweight division is always where most interest lies.
The next 2 popular divisions are the ones currently with the most talent in and around.

I think the HW division has a lot off up and coming talent coming from Russia/Central Asia, Zhan Kossobutskiy, Ivan Dychko, Bakhodir Jalolov, Arslanbek Makhmudov and Kamshybek Kunkabayev (CW)

I've been interested in Bivols carreer for a while because i've simply like his style ,, I'm turning into a big Boots Enns fan , because i like the way he fights and controls tempo .

I'm interested in watching AJ - Fury , and now Usyk is in the mix , i'm wanting to watch Usyk - Aj , but only to see if i'm correct , which i'm suspecting Usyk wins Fury carrys out his retirement plan , and declares himself the Greatest ever

If AJ wins Fury with his new found confidence in his size , declares AJ a big stiff robot and wants to fight him demanding a billion dollars

But unforunatly other than that my interest and likes really are just fight by fight ,, when Canelo finally stopped cherry picking and fought Bivol without weight draining clauses , ect ect i got interested

Spence ,, Crawford Fook em , they will finally fight in an exhibition in Saudi , around 2032 , because it needs to marinate

Boxing in general is stuffed the best don't fight the best , cherry picking happens too much , i really can't get excited over too many , whats the point , i'm excited over Boots i want to watch him take on the best , but i also know the best are going to say , he needs to prove himself or some other crap ,

Charlo just had a couple good fights , last one was a cracker , but i doubt he'll be in too many like that .

Basicly boxing just is'nt the same

Well known fighters:
Canelo Alvarez - i am fan for more than a decade. Lost interest in him when he fought Khan, but he gained a lot since then
Oleksandr Usyk - fan since 2011 world championship. Whoever not impressed by this man resume and fighting style is just hater IMO
Artur Beterbiev - who would not like champ with 100% KO ratio, but honestly should be more active
Joe Smith - ive underestimated him against Fonfara, Hopkins, Hart and E.Alvarez. Underdog puncher and one of toughest guys in our sport
Dmitri Bivol - i was never truly watching him, but beating Canelo is really something, looking forward what is next for him
Terrence Crawford - probably most gifted active boxer. But his self proclaimed P4P king is annoying
Errol Spence - just like Crawford, if they wont fight each other, fck them both
Caleb Plant - following him because of his life story and actually find his style pretty entertaining
Jarrett Hurd - loved this guy, his losses are major setback, still cheering on him to get back in game
Miguel Berchelt - similar to Hurd, but his recent loss probbaly mean he is shot
Josh Taylor - impressed me a lot in WBSS, disapointed with idiotic talks, he should give Catteral a rematch
Regis Prograis - one of the most entertaining boxing styles ive saw, looking forward what is next for him
Robeisy Ramirez - was fan of him in the amateurs, wondering how far he will go as a pro


Ive lost interest in Vasyl Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis. They did not face each other and fighting low levels last years. Golovkin fights since second Canelo fight are huge disapointment for me as his fan too, so ive lost interest in him too.

Less known fighters:
Frank Martin
Zach Parker

GGG
Joshua
Joyce
Usyk
Wilder
Benavidez
Beterbiev
Spence
Lomachenko
Inoue

All of the above bring action and drama to every fight so that's an easy 10.

With the rest (Ruiz, Dubois, Fury, Donaire, Benn, Canelo etc) it's a just question of who's fighting who.

Unless you're a devoted fan of boxing, one real problem is the lack of exposure given to some lesser known deserving fighters whilst others seem to get fast tracked to money, fame and belts. Often by way of some occasionally kindly disposed judging.

A bit like actors who need good agents, fighters need good promoters unless they want to walk a tightrope for years and years.

Conclusion? This sport is run by various promoters who all attempt to play chess against each other.

Same as it ever was.

My favorite fighter was Katsunari Takayama but boxrec lists him as inactive. Guess he retired. Enjoy retirement champ! :clap:

my ten favorite boxers in no order

Roman Gonzalez
Juan Fransico Estrada
Jessica Mccaskill
Julio Cesar Martinez'
Naoya Inoue
Oleksandr usyk
Hiroaki Teshigawara
Regis Prograis
Gabriel Rosado

It was hard to limit it to ten but I think I'm happy with this.
