Ok ppl in your oppinions, who is the best boxer of all time, and who would you say was the most avoided boxer of all time! my all time best boxer is jake la motta
I think the most avoided boxer of all time is peter oboh.
it would be grat to hear your feedback
Best boxer all-time SRR.
Most avoided I'm gonna have to think about that one.
Sugar Ray Robinson, I know thats the "trendy" answer to give but really I can't see giving that honor to anyone over him. I really can't.
Im with Mick here Sugar Ray Robinson
Most avoided fighter since ive been following boxing i started when i was 5 im 26 now i would say Herol Graham was an avoided fighter Hagler and leonard wanted nothing to do with him
I can see why Herol was avoided, he was slicker than grease
SRR to me is hands down the best P4P..as far as most avoided I'm sure there is someone more significant, but Winky has been ducked alot until just recently
I got it most recent Winky.Quote:

I said oboh as most avoided fighter coz he has been in the last few years not surprised tho ne one else seen him box?

Not a bad choice their Mick because Hopkins did'nt want anything to do with him and Tito and De La Hoya ignored him wellQuote:

Aaron Pryor
Evander Holyfield at cruiserweight
Sugar Ray Robinson
Willie Pep

Most avoided
Herol Graham
Charles Burley
Good choices ICE i liked it that you said Herol Graham good man
Yep no one agrees with me on either count! lol
Cheers mate yep old Graham was ducked by Eubank and others at that time because Herol Graham made you look terrible i mean how many people can say they lost razor thin decision to prime Mike McCallum.Quote:

Sam Langford is probably a good answer...as is Sonny liston (Patterson didn't HAVE to give him a shot)
But then again title holders that Floyd mayweather Jr COULD have fought at his various weight classes are also pretty high up there
Langford was avoided BIG TIME. From the sounds of it so was Charlie Burley.
my favorite prime fighters;
jack "death dealer" dempsey
"iron" mike "tiger" tyson
manny "phuk u up" pacquiao
I would say ALI best in their prime because..........................................w e never even seen a PRIME ALI he was robbed of his prime years so what we seen of him at his best wasnt even his prime, so there for a PRIME ALI is the GOAT!!!!!!!!!! hollaaaaaaaaaaar ;)
I'd have to say Sugar Ray Robinson or Joe Louis.
Cliche but SRR was all time best
Most avoided is imo Mike"The Body Snatcher"McCallum
SRR and Joe Louis were probably the best. The most dominate at one time, was probably Roy Jones Jr.
The best has to be SRR smooth skills-power he had the lot and so many fights also:)
Most avoided Joe Calzaghe , think about it 20 defences and yet to fight a good fighter :)
Seriously most avoided of modern time Winky Wright / Mike Mccallum both greats by the way .
