Who are your top five favourite fighters right now? Mine are, in this order: #01. Juan Francisco Estrada #02. Oleksandr Usyk #03. Regis Prograis #04. Callum Johnson #05. Teofimo Lopez HM: Campbell Hatton; I've trained with him, got pictures with him and had a laugh with him. I really hope he does well.
01. Oscar Valdez (He won me over in the Quigg & Berchelt fights. Not sure why he isn't more popular.) 02. Emmanuel Navarette 03. Canelo Alvarez 04. Deontay Wilder 05. Tie between Nakatani/Flanagan
Can't say im a big fan of any of the current fighters. I do like Fury, Wilder, Spence and Prograis, but not as much as i liked some fighters in the past. Guess that's what happens when you get older
Ennis, Fimo, and Spence are really the only three fighters I'm legit fans of. At this point, I would say Ennis is my favorite fighter. There's other fighters I like - examples being Inoue, Ortiz, Prograis, Crawford, Taylor, but I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of them, but I guess I could be considered a fan, because like I said, I do like them. Bud is bordering on losing me as a fan, though. I'm trying to hold on, but he makes it hard (pause).
Same. I am not really passionate about any fighter any more. It's unnatural to idolize people that are younger than you. Which is why old fucks listen to old music and watch old movies. We need heroes. Even if they're heroes from the past.
I'm not particularly enthusiastic about anyone outside of these guys. I get geared up for top match ups and fights I think will be entertaining, but I'm far more interesting in past fighters than current ones.
Exactly. There's never gonna be a contemporary fighter that as fanatical about as a Tyson, Jones, Duran, especially Mike and Roy, as I grew up on them.
If Fimo or Spence got knocked out this year, I'd be over it in like 30 mins. Ennis is the only guy who I can foresee morphing into a fighter I'm a HUGE fan of, as I find his personality more likable than Fimo/Spence.
Josh Taylor Canelo {for his status, not anything else} I literally cannot think of 3 other guys I'd get out of bed or stay up late to watch.......
Excluding Errol Spence, Maurice Hooker and Vergil Ortiz... Inoue Teofimo Benavidez Fury Canelo In That Order... REED
they all still fight. at least for me. holyfield, mayweather jr, morales, marquez all have scheduled fights or fights being discussed.
I am a Morales fan. I didn't realize he was going to lace them up again. Hopefully it's with someone close to his age.
Seen talks of a 4th Barrera fight Bad idea for morales who's fat as hell, while Barrera looks like he been lifting heavy
I mean, I dont handle his finances, but yes, I think Hamed is still very wealthy. The wealthiest retired boxers I believe are Floyd, Foreman, Oscar, Leonard, and Lewis. I dont think Hamed is AS rich as that list, because he simply didn't make the purses they made, but im sure he's not in danger of becoming homeless.
Inoue Pacquaio Joe Hughes Canelo (for style) Roman Gonzalez Ted Cheeseman also gets an HM for bringing war after war.
