[IntentionalButt]

Pacquiao is a super featherweight. And you're missing a whole bunch of classes.

[IntentionalButt]

Like we're going to actually name all of our favorites in super this and light that...


Superfeather = Feather
Light Welterweight, Superwelterweight = Welter
ect ect...
Couple of problems with that. Welterweight is from 140 to 154? Why wouldn't superwelter/juniormiddle get absorbed into middle?

also, if you're not doing extraneous divisions, how do light heavy and super middle make the cut?

and everything under 130 lbs gets lumped into featherweight? or are we just discounting fighters like Vazquez, Mijares, and Donaire?

[kg0208]

yes we are discounting the fighters that weigh less than a large dog

Nah...I would certainly count Calderon. He is one of the if not THE most underrated fighters on this board. Just like Ricardo Lopez before him.

Great fighters (though Calderon is not on Lopez's level at this point)

[IntentionalButt]

yes we are discounting the fighters that weigh less than a large dog
So just to make this perfectly clear - Jermain Taylor deserves credit, where Israel Vazquez does not, strictly because of their 38 pound difference in fighting weight?

Since it seems like not too many people are paying attention to cruiserweights right now, just say Johnathon Banks !!
Ding gets a lot of attention around here. :good

[kg0208]

Ding gets a lot of attention around here. :good
When people drop like flys in front of you, it makes you popular.

One of these days a CW will figure out they can't trade with Ding. But they seem to be trying to prove something.....and they prove they can be floored like the last guy.

I do like David Haye though.

[Thread Stealer]

It's tough for me to make a list because I'm indifferent about most fighters. There's a few fighters I am a big fan of and a few that I dislike, but most of them I'm indifferent or I'm sort of a fan of. I only listed the weights in which I have a clear favorite fighter.

Heavyweight: Lamon Brewster. He's probably finished as a fighter, but he was involved in some really entertaining fights. My favorite used to be James Toney, but he's no longer one of my favorites after his repeated positive steroid tests (and just for being a lazy fat ass). He's still one of my all-time favorites though for his whole career.

168: Andre Ward. Because he's the local guy who won the gold medal. Among world class super middleweights, my favorite is Kessler. I like his surgeon-like precision and fluid combos.

147: Floyd Mayweather. I'm a fan of more fighters in this division than any other. I like Floyd's crafty skills, I like Cotto's aggressive style and fluid combinations, I like Williams's activity level. I'm also a fan of Shane as well.

135: Juan Diaz. People like to make fun of him because of his weeping episode awhile back and his grunts and all, but I like watching him fight. He's fun to watch with his aggressive style and active workrate. He seems like a decent guy too.

130: Manny Pacquiao. Pac-Man has been one of my favorites for awhile.
