Favorite opponent for me is begotten. Especially from the golden years of TB when we had many wushuers constantly lingering in wushu rooms.

He was even giving tips what to improve and that made him from opponent to likable person. Idk about you guys but pompous dicks and trolls don't make me push to the limits, but these guys that want to see you grow to be like them, do. Then you try not to disappoint them and with that you start pushing yourself.
