For those who like elite skill but with some bang the following are must see... Roman Gonzalez - undefeated 4 weight world champion from Nicaragua, pretty much the best boxer in the world right now. His record is like 46-0. The guy is only 5 foot 3" as well  started off at straw weight (the lowest weight division) and has now moved up 4 weight divisions to super flyweight where he fights much bigger guys and still wins (although his last fight was his toughest yet as I think super flyweight will be his upper limit) Anthony Joshua - Obvious one but the man is a god. He has ridiculous power and an unblemished 100% KO record. He's been lucky/well matched with his career so far but he's in with a test in April against Klitshko. GGG - The most exciting boxer in the world, 36-0 record with 33 KOs. Combines absolute top skill with brute power. All the other middleweights are terrified of him. Sergey Kovalev - Interesting character and an underrated boxer in the skills department. Recently lost to Andre Ward in a tight technical battle but the rematch is currently being negotiated. He trades on the whole Russian asshole racist card and is nicknamed the Krusher. Once killed a man in the ring and expressed no remorse whatsoever, contary to what the press report 95% of boxers seem like very nice people. Kovalev seems like a different kettle of fish, someone who revels in hurting his opponents. Keith Thurman - Really like this guy as he's a really weird intense character. He's an undefeated welterweight and he's easily the best welterweight who's not Pac. Very fast boxer with good technical skills, on saturday he unified two of the welterweight titles by beating Danny Garcia. The future looks in good hands with him. Naoya Inoue - 23 year old Japanese kid who's already a 2 weight world champion. One to keep an eye on, although he's another in the lower weight divisions (same weight division as Roman Gonzalez) so you have to make do with downloading torrents of japanese tv broadcasts to get your fix of him. Hopefully HBO take him to America soon. Upcoming fights which you shouldn't miss... March 18th - GGG vs Daniel Jacobs, Roman Gonzalez vs Wisaksil Wangek - this one is a double header on the same HBO card so well worth a download on sunday morning after the fight. Or stay up late on saturday night and catch it live on boxnation. March 25th - Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares - brilliant fight this one, Crolla is a Manchester legend and Linares is a superb boxer and it's on in Manchester (i'm going) so you won't have to stay up late for it. April 8th - Vasyl Lomachenko vs Jason Sosa - should have included Lomachenko in my list above. The guy has one of the greatest amateur records of all time (396 wins and 1 loss). Turned pro a couple of years ago and is already a 2 weight world champiopn and one of the best 5 boxers in the world. April 29th - Anthony Joshua vs Wladamir Klitshko - at fucking wembley, 90,000 people. It's a a must see event. Kell Brook is better than Thurman imo. |

Possibly, Thurman currently has a better resume though. We'll get a handle on just how good Kell Brook is when he fights Errol Spence in May.
Actually really like Keith Thurman as a character though. Kell Brook just acts (and sounds) like a cocky 12 year old boy, really can't stand him.

some uppercut to start the tumpdown. joshua was walking in treacle in that 6th rd. always thought joshua's power would be the big factor. |

Rofllmfao, pacman arranges fixed fights to pad out his kill ratio but ends up dieing down under, floyd is 40 and will earn more than 100 million dollars based on 3 seconds of work with mcgregor. |
