Joe Calzaghe All action

Ricky Hatton All action

Roy Jones The best

Ceasar Chavez The best

Micheal Brodie Biggest heart

Naseem Hamed his fights were always an event

Carl Thompson Big heart, all action, honest

Fernando Vargas Big skill , big heart ,big ego and a real fight fans dream . Career cut short by Tito in my opinion

Tito All action fighter ,vulnerable and always in good figths

Chris Eubank

Worst

Floyd Mayweather Aka the worlds biggest penis

Roger Mayweather the worlds 2nd biggest Penis .

Floyd Mayweather snr Drug dealer allround shithead

James Toney most overated person ever to put on weight .

favraite
ali
jones
floyd
hopkins
winky
mosely
klitchkos
lennox
tyson
hagler
james toney
taylor
jake lamotta
ray robinson

worst

gatti
vargas
delahoya (ima get su shit bout him but i justthink hes a fake , godd fighter but fake )
mayorga
trinindad (mentally weak cant rebound aftera loss)
alot more but just those worth mentioning

Phenom fancy going out for a drink i think we'd have lots to talk about .

Tito was mentally strong he got up of the deack many a time to rebound i just think Middle was a bridge to far .

Toney what did he do and who did he beat in their prime to justify such a lofty postion in so many peoples eyes ?

Im not a massive fan of De la hoya personally but he has fought the best on the way to the top .

Floyd sucks ass so completely

Why dont people like Vargas ?

Hopkins is just an oppurtunist chain snatcher his complete no shows against Taylor and Eastman emphasise that he only took it too little men .

No really a Gatti fan either but he certainly wasn't the worst .

Seriously about that drink , im busy :'( didn't mean to get your hopes up

toney i jus love his style
delahoya great fighter but just a big dickhead on the inside just fake persanlity
floyd sucks ass? ok lets look at his record before a comment like that
vargas is an asshole
can agree on hopkins but skilled nonetheless
gatti was just a stupid fighter exciting but stupid as far as fighting goes
and its ok my hoped werent that high mayb next time haha jp

Some of my Favourites:

Khaosai Galaxy (The Thai Tyson says it all)

Aaron Pryor (Its Hawk time baby)

Salvador Sanchez (A legend by the age of 24)

Ricardo Lopez (Masterful)

Matthew Saad Muhammad (A walking highlight real)

Tito (of course)

Alexis Arguello (classy, articulate, great boxer, tremendous puncher, lots of heart)

Azumah Nelson (quietly great, classy, nearly unbeatable in his prime)

Thomas Hearns (never ever fought for a decision)

Ricardo Lopez (not given enough credit outside the real knowledgeable fan base)

Wilfredo Gomez (KO king... scary KO percentage, killer instinct)

MAB (proves you don't have to be a jerk to be a world-class fighter)

My favourite fighter is without a doubt Marco Antonio Barrera. I always love to watch him fight, he can have massive wars and slugfests and can also outbox just about anyone. Im really looking forward to his clash with Marquez next week and im expecting a great performance.

I can't see how you think Tszyu was over rated when 50% of all of his fights were against World Champions! He actually wins against a former World Champ in only his 4th fight! Explanation?

Its weird that but I love all the overated guys on that list. I love all the guys on the best fighters list too though.
And Toney is the most hilarious, and Mundine is the most hated by myself as well. :coolclick:

Overrated

Joe Calzaghe
Antonio Margarito
Nikolay Valuev
Antonio Tarver

I think it's funny that just about everyone who's posted in this thread has listed either Barrera or Morales among their favorites, yet I haven't seen anyone who's listed both of them.
I guess that's the sign of a true rivalry. If you root for one, it's awfully hard to bring yourself to root for the other guy, even if you've got respect for them.

Fave.

1. Tito a pretty large margine between 1 and two..

2. Toney
3. Roy jones jr 2,3,4,5 Very very close together.. and very hard to define who is above who
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Marco antonio Barrera


The rest cannot be put into order ..But i love the fighters..

Arce
Hatton
Judah
De la Hoya
Calderon
Vasquez
Morales
Pac
Gatti
collazo
Marciano
Duran
Lewis
Cotto
Boom boom.. Both!!
Malignaggi

Overrated..

Calzaghe
Tarver
Johnson
valuev
Briggs..
Most heavyweight prospects out there..I.e the ibragimovs, austin, fraudley etc..
Ademek... Fair play he was mighty exciting to watch..But no world beater
Mora..
Plenty more..

Favs

SRL
Duran
JCC
Wilfredo Gomes (KO% Just scary)
Tyson Before he got arrested
Tito Trinidad (The only two men who beat him are currently top 10 P4P)
Eric Morales

Current Favs
PACMAN
Rafael Marquez
Shane Mously
Barrera (There I named both lol)
Oscar DLH (I'm a Tito fan not a De la Hoya hater, his fights are alwais fun, I wish he and Tito would go at it again, it would be a much better fight than the first IMO)
Jorge Arce Fun to watch

Overrated (I like most of the fighters on this list, but they are overrated non-the-less)
Oscar DLH (Much is made about his titles in six weight divisions but who really thinks he was the real champion on all of them, certanly not me. Also, name me one great fighter in his prime he didn't eather lose to or given a very very very close decision.)

PBF (I don't expect him to beat DLH, but if he would unify the welterweight division then I would say he is not overrated. He is good but he needs more names on his resume)

Tyson after he came back ( He won a couple of fights with a couple of bums and everyone yelled "Tyson is back!". The trueth is he was never back.

Cotto ( I like this guy but for a man who has yet to beat a champion for the title (both his titles were vacant when he won them) he is given way to much credit. Like PBF he should try to unify the welterweight division and get more names on his resume.)

The entire heavy weight division...
