Name YOUR top 3 favourite boxers...

In either all weight-classes, or specific weight-classes that you watch regularly in boxing today. Or name prospects who you think will have a big future in the sport.

 

3 ? It's usually 5 ? IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T FUCKING FIX IT JIMMY!! Who do you think you are ? Some kind of a fucking trend setter ? FUCK THIS SHIT! I'm so outta here..

 

Fuck 5, that aint my style. 3 is the way to go.

Now, name them!!!

 

I would love to name them but I'm too late. Their parents beat me to it.

See what I did there? Take your time if you don't...take your time Jimmy!

guillermo rigondeaux
juan marquez
leo santa cruz

 

Pretty sad when i can't even make a top 3, whereas years ago a top 10 would have been difficult.

Pacquiao
Marquez

Other than that i guess i look forward to watching Donaire, Gamboa and Martinez but i can't really say they're my "favorites"

 

I seriously can't name any at all

Maybe Artur Szpilka but only because I've seen a shit load of his interviews on youtube and I'm just curious how his career progresses...

 

Pacquiao
Dawson
Pavlik

 

I thought about adding Pavlik but i'd be really surprised if he doesn't look like complete rubbish against anybody not made to order.

 

Local Guys, Errol Spence, Luis Yanez & Charles Hatley...




REED:mj:

 

Donaire
Ward
Burns

 

Chunky
Donaire
Yafai

 

Mayweather
Froch
Vasyl Lomachenkcho when and if he turns pro... if not, maybe Koki Kameda

slim pickins.

 

Kal Yafai
David Price
Carl Froch
James DeGale
Gennady Golovkin
Billy Joe Saunders
Frankie Gavin
Brandon Rios
Ricky Burns
Adrien Broner
Nonito Donaire
Carl Frampton
Gary Russell jr
Roman Martinez

Yes, it's not just 3 here, but a mixture of my favourite fighters to watch + guys who I think will have big futures in the sport.

 

right now?

Hmmmm

what's left of Vitali
the promise of Lomachenko
The enduring grittiness and old-schooledness of Froch.

 

Perhaps this thread should be changed to boxers who you would tune in to watch on tv live, or go to see fight live.

 

As Whiskey said, I once would have had trouble narrowing it down, now it's hard to think of anybody

Of guys today, the ones I most look forward to seeing would be Donaire, Gary Russell and Matthyse

I don't really have a favorite any more, just certain guys who have appealing styles or the potential for good bouts

 

Froch for sure, fights everyone and he's usually entertaning.
Golovkin. Might be too soon too tell, but he look like the real deal
Bronner. Yeah he's a tool, but his whooping of demarco was pure brillance

 

I'd switch out Dawson, actually, for Madaina.

Pacquiao
Madaina
Pavlik

 

martinez
marquez
guzman

I figured you would hate Dawson more than most.

 

Martinez
Maidana
Guerrero

 

I'll switch out Lomachencko for local Colorado guy Mike Alvarado. For now.

 

Pacquiao
Marquez
V. Klitschko

 

What does this mean?

 

meaning that Dawson is a reluctant fighter who throws 5 punches per round and is about as reliable a finisher as Ivan Calderon... you generally like guys who either throw a shitload of punches with no defense or guys who fall into this weird "Hunter" category you have created... Dawson fits neither bill
