MAN THIS IS SOME BAD TIMES FOR ME AND BOXING...I HONESTLY MISS THE DIEGO CORRALES, FELIX TRINIDADS OF THE WORLD...

 

01. Ricky Hatton
02. JM Marquez
03. Joe Calzaghe
04. Antonio Margarito
05. Samuel Peter -though I'm about to replace him with Arreola

If Erik Morales comes back no matter how washed up he is he jumps back to #1 and everyone moves down a slot.

 

Rafa Marquez
Abraham
Vitali
Margarito
Paul Williams

 

Jones
Hopkins
Tua

that's pretty much it

 

1. Margarito
1b. Paul Williams
3. Chad Dawson
4. JMM
5. Chris Arreola

just missed: Rocky Juarez, Pavlik, Iron Boy, JMM, Berto, Tim Bradley, Izzy, Rafa, Mijares.

Ok today, and it could change

IN no order

1) Hopkins
2) J M Marquez
3) James lights out Toney
4) Glencoffe Johnson
5) Cotto

honorable mention

Danny Williams ::

 

Funny how Pavlik has suddenly dropped clear off everyones lists ::
Fortunately I can say I never liked him because he's always had crap skills

Roy
Judah
Chagaev
Abraham
Winky

 

I've always liked Pavlik and am still a fan. My own bias toward other fighters keeps him barely out of my top five, but I'd still root for him in any middleweight fight - save for Wink, in which case I wouldn't root either way other than for a good fight.

My Top 5 in no particular order:

Joan Guzman (I'm probably the last fan left)
Chad Dawson
Jeff Lacy
Argenis Mendez (though he's making it damn frustrating lately)
IsRafael MarVazquez

If Tito's still considered "current" then he's obviously at the top of the list, replacing Geni

 

Seriously?


Roy Jones (nostalgia vote)
Chad Dawson
Cristian Mijares
Shane Mosley
Rocky Juarez (yes, I've been a frustrated fan for quite some time)

 

If Morales comes back, he tops my list, viva Tijuana Warrior.

Otherwise

1 - Pacman
2 - Calzaghe
3 - Mosley
4 - Vazquez
5 - Pavlik

And amazingly, Marquez Major has made an entrance on my runner's up favourite list. He's a great fighter, and he's become far more entertaining recently. AND he fucking KO'd casamayor, something I've been waiting to happen for years.

 

Kelly Pavlik
Chad Dawson
Manny Pac
Paul Williams

damn, you've known me for how long, and you're shocked that I'm a Lacy fan? ::

I too am a long, suffering Juarez fan.

I've become a Mijares fan in a big way, but would have to consider it appreciation more so than fandom. Ditto for Pacquiao and JM Marquez. I love watching all three fight, but don't really root for (or against) any of them.

 

Librido Andrade
Manny Pacquiao
Vitali Klitschko
Edwin Valero

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Roy Jones
3. Gerry Penalosa
4. Shane Mosley
5. Ricardo Mayorga

 

Marquez has always been an exciting fighter

Youd have to be blind not to know it... if somehow you watched his fight against Gainer where he chased him down the ring and forced him to quit.. if you thought it was evidence he is not exciting then you just don't understand how boxing works

 

Good call on Lacy.. the guy puts on some awesome fights when he's not getting boxed to death

 

Miguel Cotto
Manny Pacquiao
Juan Manuel Lopez
Oscar De La Hoya
Bernard Hopkins

 

JMM
Calderon
Pacquiao
Dawson
Margarito

 

Holy shit, I'm being told by D MAN that I don't understand how boxing works. Could that be the biggest insult of them all? ::

So he chased Gainer, and that makes him exciting?

No, Marquez was never particularly exciting until recently. Even when he dished out some impressive beatings like making Peden puke blood, he was not as watchable as he is now.

Corrales effectively taking Gainer out with a 6 inch left hook, that's exciting.

If Marquez was as exciting as you say, he would have been in the same realm of popularity as Morales and Barrera. He wasn't.
