Who would you vote back as a fan favorite if the voting was today? Do not include Sergio Mora or Alfonso Gomez because they are in the final four and the final four will not be included in the fan favorite vote. I also heard that Manfredo is in the final four. So besides those three, who would you vote as a fan favorite if the vote was today? I say Tarick because he showed a lot of class in losing a very close fight to Juan. Also, I believe he should have been the one to be called back on the show because he was the one who hurt Juan and put him out of the competition, not Ahmed...

I'm soley interested in seeing the best fight possible -- maybe with a little history mixed in. For that reason, Ishe Smith definitely needs to be one of the fighters voted on. Who really wants to see Tarick fight again? I certainly don't.

As a possible competitor .. Ahmed Kaddour should be eliminated as a possibility. He's already lost twice (once to Ishe, nonetheless) .. so good riddance. Hmmm, so how about Joey Gilbert? He did lead the "coalition" that inevitably caused his early exit. He was also a member of the "Final 8" .. and heck, I'd enjoy seeing him pummeled.

Other than that, maybe Miguel Espino? He fought pretty well versus Manfredo, and he's a guy I'd like to see again. He certainly had skill, and he's a young up & comer. I think he deserves another chance to display his talent ... and an Ishe/Miguel match-up would be fun to watch.

The only other boxer I'd consider matching up with Smith .. is Jonathon Reid. Although he's certainly not my preference, I'd be able to live with it.

Ishe is definitely my number one choice. I still say he's the best there. I still can't believe that Estrada - who was beaten by Ishe - got to fight Sugar Shane Mosely. Hah, that would have been a funny headline: Sugar Shane v. Sugar Shay.

Then I'd probably go with Miguel as my second choice.

I DON'T want to see Anthony, Brent, or Tarick (even though I liked Brent and Tarick as people). Tarick lost to a guy who was just flailing his arms around wildly throughout much of the fight. That's not good.

I really wish these fights were longer so we could get a better estimation of the talent some of these guys have (or don't have).

Got blog?

I would like to see Razza get a shot at someone...just because he spent a few weeks on the show and never got to prove himself in the ring.

I would like to see Juan step up for a tough fight...maybe against Ahmed or Ishe. I think Juan would be outclassed by most.

I would like to see Ishe fight Jesse or Manfredo but I do not think that is going to be possible. Not sure who else we could match with Ishe? I definitely would like Jimmy Lange get another shot...maybe him vs Ishe.

Tarick was rusty because of the long inactivity. He will look a lot better if voted back. Ive seen Tarick fight on espn before the contender, and he could beat most, if not all of the fighters on there. He needed to get the ring rust off...plus he roughed up Juan so bad that Juan had to leave. We only see the edited version of the fight. Im sure the actuall fight shows a lot of things we havent seen.

Tarrick v. Miguel
Ishe v. Ahmed (part duex electric boogaloo)
Jimmy v. Joey (part duex)

Of course ahmed/joey would be good too, considering joey's scheming. Ishe v. Brinkley would be a good grudge match too.

Although the best fight possible would probably be Ishe v. manfredo
