My list: 1. Kov - Love his style and his attitude. Effortless, devastating puncher who has highly underrated skills and ring IQ. Will likely go down as one of the most ruthless, and coldest fighters we've seen. And not to sound like REED, but as of this moment his resume is better than GGG's despite the fact that he's far less hyped. 2. Crawford - How can you NOT love TC? Top notch technician who LOVES to fight and be aggressive. Versatile, excellent ring IQ, great poise. 3. GGG - A killer like Kov, only difference being Golov is has a teddy bear personality and inflicts pain in workman like fashion, whereas Kov ENJOYS dishing out pain. Still, ya gotta love watching Golov operate and destroy. 4. Spence - Just love the kids style. A southpaw with pop who's offensive minded, yet with great skill behind it. A sure thing future P4Pder. 5. Matthysse - Just always been a fan of Matty Ice. Not NEARLY as skillful as the 4 guys above him on this list, but will always be fun to watch, and will always have chillling power.
1. EL DEMENTO FELIX VERDEJO!!! 2. FELX 'EL DEMENTO' VERDEJO!!! 3 FELIX VERDEJO 'EL DEMENTO'!!! 4. aka 'El demento' VERDEJO,FELIX!!! 5. El...okay you should get it by now!!! :giggle:
In No Particular Order... 1. Errol Spence - Lives in the Dallas Area, Cool, Laidback, Respectful Young Brother...WELL Schooled, Disciplined, ALWAYS in Fighting Shape, STUDENT of the Game...EAGER to Add Legitimate Names to his Resume...Good Arsenal of Punches, Seems to Have a Bit of Power in Both Hands, MURDEROUS to the Body & Doesn't Ease Up on Overmatched Foes... What's NOT to Like about Errol Spence???... 2. Guillermo Rigondeaux - Undersized Counterpuncher w/ELITE Level Speed and Punching Power...Fights are Fan-Friendly as Loooooooooong as the Other Guy is TRYING to Win...THE Best Fighter in the World, Lb for Lb, in REED's Opinion... 3. Terrance Crawford - Aw'Shucks Country Boy, but Don't Take his Nice Guy Ways for WEAKNESS...Has that "Holyfield" Way about Him, in that he IMMEDIATELY Seeks Retribution, when an Opponent Lands a Good Shot...To that Point, his Defense is LEAKY Enough to Where this Happens 1nce or 2wice EVERY Fight...Is in the Weight Range to Rattle Off NATHAN But Meaningful Fights, Against Meaningful Opponents, for the Next 5+ Years... 4. Sergey Kovalev - Simply Put, DOES NOT Give a Fuck...Unlike Emile Griffith, "Boom Boom" Mancini and Countless Other Fighters,who were NEVER Quite the Same After KILLING an Opponent, Kovalev Literally COULD NOT Care Less that he Has...No, he Doesn't BRAG about it or Bring it Up, Necessarily, but Killing a Man had ZERO Impact on How Aggressively Kovalev Fights...Dude Punches like Hell, Has More SCIENCE to his Approach than Given Credit for, is AMBITIOUS Enough to Fight Anybody (Even on THEIR Turf), but what Most Defines Sergey Kovalev is the Sheer LACK of Remorse... REED is Leery of Using Words like "Impressive" or "Cool", to Describe this Trait of Kovalev's, but Given the Trade, You HAVE to Respect It...He LIKES Hurting People & HAS Killed a Man...Dude's OFFICIAL Record is 28-0-l, 24 KO's, 1 MURDER::... REED Isn't Sure he has a 5th, Currently...The 1st 4 Flowed Out EFFORTLESSLY, but REED's Gonna have to Think and Evaluate the 5th Spot...Of those Receiving SLIGHT Consideration (@ the Moment) are Canelo Alvarez, Roman Gonzalez and Deontay Wilder... REED:hammert:
rigondeaux- best in the business. been a fan since 2000 gonzalez- hall of fame fighter, great to watch lomachenko- another great guy to watch if he has a willing foe estrada- tough, versatile and skilled guy who has improved since the fight with gonzalez bailey- three time champ spence, julian williams, inoue and verdejo are certainly worth watching progress as well
Crawford -- Jack of all trades... Just a good pro... I like watching him Rigo -- Great skills and fight-ending power Spence -- Really like what I've seen so far Kovalev -- single-minded focus, big time banger Golovkin -- Just very relaxed in the ring... Precise and cool, huge puncher FFH Provo -- dumb as fuck, can't finish a sandwich but it's like some sort of missing link let loose... You can distract him too easily with shiny objects (footwork, jabs) but there's always that element of danger if you make the mistake of trying to take too much... It can't last forever, eventually all of these shots will catch up to him but right now he's like a rock that punches people, in all respects positive and negative I like Gonzalez too but have to see more of him... Lomachenko looks really fucking good
Lomachenko - Love this guy, wonderful skill and a joy to watch. His footwork alone is worth paying to see. Rigondeaux - Incredible talent, one of the best I've ever seen Spence - The best of the new breed of American fighters imo, brilliant boxer CHUNKY - NEEDS NO EXPLANATION Joshua - Just destroying guys at the moment, needs to step up the comp (which he is doing fight by fight) and his chin is still a question that has to be answered but if it's solid then we have an excellent heavyweight on our hands
I like this one kid, Juan Francisco Estrada. He's just a flyweight but a couple years ago I saw him beat Brian Viloria rather impressively, and have been looking forward to seeing him again. It hasn't happened but I do know he holds the WBA & WBO flyweight titles and is 32-2 with 23. Funny thing is I can't remember his name for shit. Every time I want to look him up I have to go to boxing rec and find him through Brian Viloria's record and half the time I forget Brian's name so I look him up by his nick name, the Hawaiian Punch.
GGG - Love how this guy breaks down his opponents. Centre of the ring master. Great jab and awesome power. Kov - This guy's punching power is insane. He loves dishing it out in violent fashion. Very capable boxer too. Crawford - He has great technique, skills and footwork. He isn't afraid to have a tear up either. Frampton - I think he's underrated but at the same time lets himself down by making mistakes he can easily fix. Good boxer with good power and hand speed. Likes to stand his ground and take it to his opponent. Joshua - Still raw but has good fundamentals with punching power. He's getting rid of the trash in style which is good. The tests will come. Britain's best heavyweight hope.
Wlad - Yeah I know. Some of his recent fights have been disgusting (especially the one against Povetkin) but I still like to see him Rigo - Fantastic technician, makes it look so easy. Lomachenko - I have followed him since Olympics of 2008, I even bothered to watch amateur tournaments when he was in them. Great offensive skills Crawford - Seems like everybody likes him and for the same reasons too Walters - Has looked impressive so far. Close to the list: GGG, Thurman, Mikey Garcia (if he still fights), Kovalev, Ward (yeah I know)
Terence Crawford- Good all around skills and ring IQ. Has some vulnerability due to his aggression but fights smart when it counts. Seems like a good dude as well. Quiet, calm, and cool. Takes care of business. Vasyl Lomachenko- Perhaps the most skillful fighter pound 4 pound today. Footwork, hand speed, technique, power, ring IQ. A truly special talent and future pound 4 pounder. Sergei Kovalev- Ruthless destroyer who is also a good boxer. Punches chillingly hard, especially with the right. And he's smarter than one would think, due to his aggressive style. Don't see many that would be willing to step in the rig with him. Errol Spence- Unproven but you can tell he's a special talent. Love his offensive minded approach. I think he could be the best fighter in the world once Mayweather calls it a day. I don't really see any weaknesses that are glaring on this kid. Felix Verdejo- I like what I see so far. Good skills; appears to know how to box, which he'll need to go along with his power. He gets a bit wild in there and Id like to see him control that. But I think he can make some noise at 135 and 140 so long as he stays focused.
