    I usually like guy's who will bring it and who fights anyone. In no particular order :

    Froch how can you not like the guy ? He may not be the best skilled but he fights anyone and has massive balls.

    Mathysse just a brutal, brutal guy who's in there to take someone head's off

    Chisora kind of my wild pick, but I like his pressure style and his crazy antics makes me laugh

    Provodnikov funny looking guy, but full of heart and power. He alway's seems to make for entertaining fight (for the few time I've seen him)

    Golovkin/Martinez Can't really pick a favorite between these two mw, gun to my head, I'd probably go with GGG has Martinez time seems pretty much up.

    Honorable mention : Kovalev, Stevenson, Barker, Ponce de Leon, Salido, Maidana, Soto-Karass, Bundrage

    Favorite journeyman : Travis ''the chin'' Walker

    My favourite journeyman is Darnell Boone. Dropped Ward, beat Adonis and took Kovalev to an SD.

    Kovalev went to a SD against a bum? My opinion of him dropped about 47 points right now.

    Over 8 rounds I should add, and Kovalev stopped him in 2 in the rematch, but the guy comes to fight.

    Yep, Stevens beat him more convincingly than the aforementioned (in the case of Stevenson and Kovalev, first time round anyway)

    It SHOULDN'T...

    Make No Mistake, Darnell Boone Can FIGHT...Probably HALF a Level BELOW a Priime Emmanuel Augustus, on the "Journeymay" Scale...& like Others Said, Kovalev KO'ed him CONVINCINGLY, in Less than 2 Full Rounds, in the RE...

    Kovalev CREDITS Boone for Making him a BETTER Pro...
