Don't just say Rocky Marciano for the sake of it..there's bloody loads to choose from.
No Blacks,Mexicans or Puerto Rican or any race with a tan (including GGG)..Italians seem to just get the nod.
Mine has to be JC as he has the great ability to adjust and the Kessler match was pretty damn impressive.
BJS is easily my favourite to watch in this era...

Widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters who ever Boxed.

Unless you believe boxing started in the 1990's, this is like saying 'who is your favourite white tennis player'
What about James Figg? Jem Mace? Tom Cribb? Would Daniel Mendoza count as white? Never mind Greg, Dempsey, Sullivan, Corbett, Benny Leonard, Stanley Ketchel?
;D
Calzaghe
Carnera
Damiani
You have to consider fighters like Mace and Greb, Benny Leonard, Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Bob Fitzsimmons, Stanley Ketchel etc
The fact that a lot of them were Gyspies, Jews, Poles and Cornishmen has nothing to do with it ;)
GGG has a tan? ;D
Too many names fella..it doesn't matter what era..who is your favourite one and why?Quote:

BJS and Groves are both World champions and pure boxers..If they last another 3-5 years without a loss (potential x10 fights) then they will leave a credible legacy behind.
He's not my favourite and he certainly ain't the best but I'm gunna give Katsidis a shout out, he was pure value for money, a proper warrior.
Oh, for fuck's sake
