About Me
- Tim -- tstarks2@gmail.com
- Silver Spring, MD, United States
- I'll be spending most of my blog energy these days at www.mvn.com/boxing.
My Favorite Fighters
- Juan Manuel Marquez: Has immaculate craft, throws beautiful combinations and is getting more willing to mix it up as he ages -- the exact opposite way boxing careers progress.
- Miguel Cotto: Tank-like welterweight unfurls the most viscious body punches you'll see today, and before long, you look like you've been steamrolled by an M1 Abrams.
- Rafael Marquez: Not as skilled as his brother, but way more powerful. Maybe the sport's hardest puncher, and he's finally building his legacy.
- Kelly Pavlik: Fights like a pressure/volume brawler, but look closely and you'll see he throws straight, accurate punches that nobody can stand taking.
- Juan Diaz: A pudgy little college student whose tendency is to punch so much that opponents quit with expressions of "Please, just get him off me" on their faces.
- Manny Pacquiao: Pure dynamite -- the most exciting, action-packed fighter in boxing when he's focused, plus he sings, acts, and runs for office in the Philippines.
- Floyd Mayweather Jr.: At his best, he is so fast he looks like he teleports, then overwhelms people with almost infinite talent and skill. At his worst, stinks out the joint.
- Mikkel Kessler: Heavily-tattooed Dane is a joy to watch -- one notch below Hamlet. His technique is as clean as a whistle, he's strong and has a great chin.
- Chad Dawson: Rising champion has all the offensive and defensive tools in the box. Add seasoning, experience and a potentially great career could unfold.
- Nonito Donaire: "The Filipino Flash" wears high red socks, lives up to his namesake on the speed end and scored 2007's knockout of the year.
