1) Brandon Rios
2) Lucas Matthysse
3) Gennady Golovkin
4) Carl Froch
5) Marcos Maidana
All of these guys are my favorite fighters because they are the most exciting to watch and always have great fights and all could end the fight with one punch and take a good punch as well, Who are yours?
2 AnswersBoxing8 years agoMost Exciting Fighters in boxing right now?
My 3 favorite fighters right now are all in the same weight class area which is 140 and 147
My favorite fighter Brandon Rios who just recently fought a fight of the year in a great knockout win over Mike alvorado at 140 is now atop the rankings and waiting for a big time fight
Another fighter who is also at 140 and at or near the top of the ranks is Lucas Matthysse who is an all action brawler who has devastating knockout power and has been screwed on at least one decision in his career.
My third favorite fighter also of Argentine Descent is Marcos Maidana who is very similar to Matthysse in that he has explosive power and is tough as they come and they all could take a punch.

7 AnswersFootball (American)9 years agoIs Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather's worst nightmare?
In my opinion he is and will be on May 5th. I've been saying for years that Miguel Cotto has the perfect style to beat Floyd. Oscar De la Hoya put out the blue print on how to beat Floyd, and to do so you need a great jab, and be able to go to the body which are both cotto's best traits. Cotto is skillful enough the not get outclassed in the middle of the ring as well, and is physically strong enough to back floyd up to the ropes, Oscar's problem was that he lost his jab and tried walking in and floyd just pot shotted him and stepped around and picked him apart. Cotto has a great jab and will use that to keep floyd's timing off and use it to back him up and to make him sit against the ropes and fire to the body. Im telling you real boxing fans know how Cotto fights, he's got the style, the power, and the speed and skill to pull this off. I think Cotto will win this fight by UD its just stylistically the perfects storm and with Cotto's new trainer i think Cotto's game plan will be perfect come fight night. Cotto UD
4 AnswersBoxing9 years agoHow come nobody is talking about Ryan Mallet?
I mean look at this guys physical size and skill he has a cannon for an arm played under a PRO style offense in Arkansas as well as played in the best conference in NCAAF for two years and threw 30 td's and 3000 yds passing both years. This guy at 6'6" 250 lbs. has unbelievable potential and will be a steal in the second round for whoever comes to their senses and picks this guy. I mean Christain Ponder and Andy Dalton these guys performed okay in their mediocre conferences and Jake Locker performed terrible in the weak Pac-10 if he was soo good they would have had a good record not a 500 record in a weak conference.
9 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoWhy would the Knicks trade for Melo during the season??
All i have heard about Carmelo Anthony is that he would ONLY SIGN AN EXTENSION WITH THE NEW YORK KNICKS meaning that any team that offers a trade for anthony would only get him till the end of the year. if im Donnie Walsh and the Knicks WHY do i give up Danilo Gallinari and Landry Fields and a first round pick to get Anthony when i can get him in the summer for free because they have enough on the salary cap. unless they could get anthony by offering only galo or fields but not both at the same time without a doubt. If the knicks make a trade that gives away two young players with a lot of potential for anthony when they could have signed him during free agency as well as ruining the team chemistry that they have right now by throwing him in for the home stretch this makes NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL so WHY???
4 AnswersBasketball1 decade agoWhy is there so many timeouts in the NBA? IT ruins the game?
I love watching basketball but it is really ridiculous how many timeouts the coaches call and i am wondering why is there so many time outs. At the end of EVERY game say 2 mins left if the game is within 5 the game will not end for another half hour to 45 minutes. All the fouls are understandable for free throws, but every stupid possession its a timeout and a commercial break, THAT IS NOT BASKETBALL let the players play and the coaches teach the players what to do before the game and halftime not every 5 seconds to make a play or some stupid crap.
6 AnswersBasketball1 decade agoDefensive Rookie of the Year? SUH or McCoutey?
Devin McCourtey, 46 tackles 6 interceptions and a rising superstar at Cornerback and in a couple years i think will be a guy in the Revis Asomogha category
Suh- Dominant defensive tackle, 46 tackles 1 pic, 1 defensive td, and 8 sacks, he will be a guy like Richard Seymour who is big and physical but has good footwork and is not blown up, and still in great physical condition.
13 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoJean Pascal vs Bernard Hopkins, In Quebec, Canada Who Wins?
The ageless Bernard Hopkins facing off with a young in his prime rising superstar in Jean Pascal, who is widely popular in Canada and his great fights with Diaconu, Froch, and Dawson are the reasons because he is a fast, big puncher, that always gives an exciting fight, but in this fight he will fight another counterpuncher like chad dawson who is fast but very old and lacks the power he once had. Will Hopkins once again turn back the clock or will Pascal get a signature win of his career and blosson into a boxing star?
3 AnswersBoxing1 decade agoWho is going to win the NFC West?
Preseason me and most people picked the San Francisco 49ers to win the division, but now its a division of suprises and inconsistency. In my opinon there is no way that the cardinals are going to win the division. The seahawks every week they play like they r the best in the division and then they get beat down by the Rams. The rams with sam bradford i dont know how but are creating buzz and i think there going to win again this week. The best team in my opinon is no doubt the niners but they just find ways to lose. Wide open im picking pete carolls seahawks going 8-8 to take the division.
5 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoBiggest Unknown NFL QB Draft Busts Of All-Time?
Usually when you think of Draft Bust you think of Ryan Leaf, but i don't understand how we don't think of some of the following names at the Quarterback Position.
2002 Draft
#1 Pick Overall David Carr-65 TD's 70 Pic's now a backup quarterback
#3 Pick Overall Joey Harrington-79 TD's 85 Pics Out of the NFL after 5 years
1999
#1 Pick Tim Couch-64 TD's 67 Pics out of the nfl after 4 years
#3 Pick Akili Smith-5 TD's 13 Pics- out of the nfl after 3 years
And then the most talked about is Ryan Leaf, i dont know why this guy is constantly mentioned as the bust, while other #1 picks at QB who were big names in college were just as bad if not worse, and I haven't heard their names once when talking about Busts.
In your opinion why is Ryan leaft a bigger bust than David Carr or Tim Couch?
10 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoHow many PPV buys do you think Marquez-Diaz II will get?
On a scale from 1 to 5
1. 200,000 or less
2. 400,000-600,000
3. 600,000-800,000
4. 800,000-1 Million
5. 1 Million or more(highly unlikely)
My guess is 450,000 ppv buys due to both not MAIN public attractions, especially after Marquez was dominated by Mayweather in his most notable fight on PPV

5 AnswersBoxing1 decade agoWhich fight would be the most competitive and toughest for Manny Pacquiao if he don't fight Floyd?
Right now the top options right now are possible fights with:
1 Antonio Margarito (38-6 27 KO's) is the Favorite, he is a come forward brawler who has legendary stamina and chin, his punching power has a huge question mark b/c of his plastered glove issue, and his speed is below average as is his defense. However, he likes to throw 80-120 punches a round and in my opinion will give the best fight to Manny.
2. Miguel Cotto (35-2 28 KO's) The rematch with Cotto looks like the second option, cotto was badly beaten by cotto and lost a lopsided final round KO to Manny the first time. Although they say he is a new fighter with the legendary Emanuel Steward as his new trainer, i think this fight would be much of the same and lead to a non eventful knockout of cotto.
3. Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5 37 KO's) The third fight would be the fight that most would have wanted to see when both fighters were at their optimum weight of 135, Pacman obviously has no optimum weight and is great at any weight, Marquez looked pedestrian against Floyd at 143 and looks too slow and soft for the weight. This fight would be the worst of the options leading to a easy decision or knockout of Marquez.
Other possible options: Andre Berto, Amir Khan, Timothy Bradley
9 AnswersBoxing1 decade agoWhat skills do you need to beat floyd mayweather?What current fighter at 147 can beat floyd?
In my opinion to beat floyd, you need a great JAB, guys like cotto williams and khan have that. You need to be a great body puncher which i have to go with cotto and margarito on. You also need to have to cut the ring off well and be able to initiate exchanges and have solid defense. Manny pacquiao has some of these qualities and probably stands the best chance at floyd, but who else does, in my opinion i think miguel cotto has the style to beat floyd with that solid jab and good footwork and defense
14 AnswersBoxing1 decade agoIs Manny Pacqiao the best fighter of this era?
Manny has done something that no other fighter has ever done after beating down Miguel Cotto last saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Winning his 7th title in 7 different weightclasses is something very special to witness. Besides that he has beaten some of the greatest not only good fighters of this era but many Legends of this era. At 130 he knocked out Marco Antonio Barrera and knocked out the legendary Erik Morales twice a man both of whom have never been knocked out. Then he fought another mexican legend to a disputed draw and beat him on a close decision at 130. He has also beaten britains most famous fighter ever Ricky Hatton in devistating fashion at 140 and closed the book on Oscar's legendary career. Now with a win over in my mind the best welterweight in the world including mayweather because of his come forward power punching and sneaky quick ability he has added another legend to his list of victims. Floyd has beaten great fighters including oscar, ricky, corrales, castillo. But starting from 130 going up to 147 he did not fight the best welterweights which were Mosley, cotto, margarito. Manny came up from 112?! nd fought the best welterweight cotto and destroyed him. Do you think mannys career is better than floyds career and why?
