Fighters you want to do well.

I really want Lucas Browne to keep up his winning streak and one day land a big match that will net him a fortune. He's one of those chaps who is so thoroughly self-confident that he can be truly humble. Those people tend to be the best people to be around IMO.
What about you?

Scott Quigg & Andy Lee.
For no other reason than they seem like nice guys! Andy Lee would be a good laugh in the pub, I reckon.

Lucas Browne does come over very well and I would love to see him go further too.

Lucas Browne - same reason as the OP
Carl Frampton - again comes across as a nice fella and Quigg is the same
Degale has grown on me quite a bit lately
Macklin seems a solid chap

Couldn't agree more. Not the most talented of fighters but fun to watch and always comes across well.

Agree with Browne for same reasons ^
Tony "The Hip Breaker Thompson" seems like a sound lad and a bit of a throwback
Golovkin-seems a gentlemen
Limond-great honest pro,never heard him whine ever about the Khan "long count"
Quigg-he gets some stick but mostly for his paper title,he himself seems humble
Crolla-same as GGG
Joshua-very grounded
Too many to mention,boxings full of nice guys,some idiots too of course but nowhere near as many as football

i think Gary Sykes deserves a decent run and Jamie McDonnell is an honest lad who deserves a few big fights and a chance to be a genuine world champ.
cant argue with Crolla and Brook either.
GGG is a lovely chap but given how good he is im not sure he needs our best wishes to will him on to victory, he's an incredible fighter.

Adrian Broner - A true gentleman, incredibly humble, and a credit to the sport.

Far too many to mention them all but Rey Loreto (he won me a small fortune earlier this year), Kosei Tanaka (cheer leading him prior to his debut), the Inoue brothers (great to see youngsters taking on challengers straight from the off), Zou Shiming (guy gets a shit ton of hate but appears to be stepping up), Ik Yang (so much fun), Callum Smith (fun to watch), Lucas Matthysse/Golovkin/Kovalev (INSANE POWER!), Roman Gonzalez (whats not to like?)

George Groves, I know he is quite self assured but I like him and hope he lands a world title.
Also John McDermott - he deserves a British Title

Josh Warrington. Just seems happy to be here in the sport and just wants to see how far he can go.
Kell Brook seems very down to earth.
Callum Smith because he has everything thats needed to be THE next big thing and I don't want him to have an unexpected defeat early doors. Same with Joshua but to a lesser degree.
Any of the boxers who post on here.

Same here but I don't know if it is because Groves pissed me off that much recently.
Others I would say Rose, GGG (He bewilders me, comes across extremely well and yet is an absolute animal), Joshua,
Tyson Fury is also growing on me

Can't believe I forgot about John Simpson, one of my absolute favourite current fighters, always gives everything he has.

Any boxer based in the East Midlands,
I know many of them and i just dont understand how theres only Clifton Mitchell putting on pro shows here, Theres a lot of local boxers and it cant be a lack of being able to sell tickets in the local demography otherwise the unlicensed shows wouldnt always be selling out.

Definitely Anthony Joshua. The nicest and most down to earth boxer I have ever met.
