Rattle em off: favorite fighter stream of consciousness

[IntentionalButt]

Off the top of your head, name every active, relevant fighter you support until you run out or hit a mental pause. Don't worry about leaving someone out, it doesn't have to be comprehensive and you're not going to hurt any pro's feelings by omission. Just lay out an informal roster of boxers you back who have a legitimate presence in the game, so posters can contrast and compare lists. Yours may be more similar or dissimilar than you thought from some of your allies/rivals on the board.

Again, this ISN'T a p4p list. It isn't a who's-best-in-each-division list. It's a completely subjective open-ended list of favorite fighters that spring immediately to mind. Doesn't matter - prospects, journeyman fringe contenders, champions - anyone you cheer on. It does HAVE to be active and relevant fighters, meaning they still have a legitimate presence. I know Tommy Morrison and Yory Boy Campos are still fighting, but you may not include them. :yep

Shane Mosley
Rafael Marquez
Joel Casamayor

James Toney

Guys like FMJ, DLH, and BHOP who have one foot out the door, semi-retired etc. - for all practical purposes we'll call them inactive.

It is amazing how many horrifically underrated legends I have listed.

[IntentionalButt]

You know what, I was a little harsh on Rivera, I take it back. His performances in his last two losses weren't bad at all, he was just outclassed by grade-A opposition. Besides, he's a local boy and just a swell guy. :thumbsup
