Best Boxer: Floyd Mayweather
Most Protected: Chris John
Is He Still Around: Frans Botha
Matchmakers Dream: Broner vs Matthysse
Deserve a Title Shot: George Groves
Most Fun To Watch: Gennady Golovkin
On The Way Up: Sergey Kovalev
On The Way Down: Arthur Abraham
Can't disagree with most. I might rate Golovkin a little higher than Matthyesse, but Lucas has performed against much better competition so you could definitely convince me. I would say most fun to watch is Matthysse as well however. I don't find Broner's antics fun to watch although he does have a crowd friendly style. I would put Mikey Garcia "on the way up" moreso than Wilder. I think Garcia's age and skill make his upside way higher than Wilder's although Garcia has already been at the top and the climb is shorter. Dawson is a sad story that really shows how much dedication and mindset trump natural talent. I really hope he can turn it around. He seems like a genuinely good guy, but he has problems with commitment and taking responsibility for his choices.
Sean, how's it going? Here's my list:
Best Puncher: Wladamir Klitschko
Best Boxer: Floyd Mayweather
Most Protected: Floyd Mayweather
Is He Still Around: Shane Moseley
Matchmaker's Dream: it's still Mayweather-Pacquiao because of the $$$ it would generate
Deserve A Title Shot: Lucas Matthysse
Most Fun To Watch: Victor Ortiz [he not be a top-tier fighter, but has never had a dull fight] or Marcos Maidana [again, never had a dull fight]
On The Way Up: Mikey Garcia
On The Way Down: Amir Khan
*** New Category: MOST OVERRATED - Amir Khan
What do you guys think? I have Mayweather listed as "Most Protected" because he carefully handpicks his opponents who are custom-made for his style...instead of fighting any and all comers. An all-time great can't do that, in my opinion.
I would Golovkin for Best Puncher.
Broner is not fun to watch at all in my opinion. He imitates Mayweather way too much and does a half *** job at it.
For matchmakers dream, I would much rather see Golovkin vs. Martinez. Matthysse vs. Garcia is more predictable for me.
