Thread: Best fighter

Who cares about boring fighters like ricky hatton, they bore me, wake me up when floyd has his next fight, his the best fighter in the world, probably of all time. what more can he do to shut up all his critics? every fight he has theres someone speculating a certain weakness or something, then he goes out and pastes his opponent.No one can beat him,No one can hurt him no one can touch him, magarito will get done up, oscar will get beat, he'll win every fight his in and retire undefeated.FACT.

You forgot to put Marvin Hagler up there.....

OK NOW.... Been in Waco's liquor cabinet have you
Mayweather is not even close to the Greatest fighter of all time...Not even in the top 10...There was a small guy some years back that IMO would have gave Floyd a beating even at the lower weight...Sal Sanchez...A Roberto Duran at Lightweight was to much for any fighter then or now...at 147 Leonard would have outboxed him...Hearns would have killed him with his right.......And The hands down greatest fighter of all time is RAY ROBINSON.....Foloyd would have to repeat his career 4 times to even be close....

The Jury is still out on Floyd if he could be a G.O.A.T, he is certainly on his way to being a great for his generation but being a Floyd fan I know he has a way to go before such G.O.A.T claims can be made

daxxkhan. you hit the nail on the head there mate.

I don't agree with a single thing you said... Floyd would have beaten all of them... he was too faster for Sanchez, Robinson. He is a far better boxer than Leonard ever was, and would have countered Hearns and knocked him out. For similar reasons Floyd is too good for SRR, and he is way faster than Robinson. That being said my choice is Roy Jones Jr. ... he dominated so convincingly during his reign on top he only had one close fight... no other fighter made the same calibur of opponents he had look so easy.

I'd say Sugar Ray...even though the REAL Sugar Ray (Robinson) was not on the list...neither was Willie Pep.

Ray beat Duran and Hearns at his best, 2 of the better p4p fighters of history, better than any of the other guys fought.

Ali was a blantant self promoter and I despise him. He was highly skilled and I respect that though....he was just a prick that's all!

I voted Tyson, in his prime he was like nothing I'd ever seen befor, I'd say his prime ended when he was beaten by Buster Douglas, although i think if he hadn't gone to prison he may have had a longer prime.

Speaking of Mayweather as an all time great is speculation. If he retired right now, he would not be an all time great... as in top 25, which means we are speculating, hoping he takes big fights and wins them in the future.

Sugar Ray Robinson is the best of all time... the fact that you neglect to put him on that list, but you put Jones and Mayweather on there makes me not value your thoughts on Floyd so much.

Willie Pep like another poster mentioned is also great. Charlie Burley as well.

I voted for tyson too. I think had he not gotten rid of Kevin Rooney, Teddy Atlas and crew not only would he have never went to jail he would not have lost to Douglas....and he might still be champ today! I absolutely love Buster Douglas (I'm from Columbus, OH) and he fought the perfect fight to beat Tyson and he had all the motivation in the world in fighting for his recenlty deceased mother.....but.....if Tyson would have kept it straight and not lost his mind....who knows.....Tyson was untouchable.....

Jones Jr, Hell he was so good he never got hit. The guy was almost god like with blazing speed,precision punching and wilting power in either fist. Tyson second. He just scared the shat out of people and knocked them cold as a Alabama maple. Ali was the greatest at running his mouth.

IF Tyson didnt let the outside influences Jade and corrupt him there is no one since 86 that could have touched him NO one!!!! not Lewis not Bowe and even my all time Fav Evander Holyfield, but hey it is what it is THANKS MR TYSON FOR THE GOOD TIMES!!!

I was completely torn between Leonard and Tyson. Gave my vote to SRL though because of the competition he faced and beat.

You need to get Leonard's overrated ass out of the list. The boy was not great. Good and great are two diffrent categories. Leonard doesn't belong in great. That's what the SC was for.

This list is SADLY lacking. Brush up on your boxing history, buwit.
