Saddoboxing's Forums Top 100 favourite fighters

Just list your ten favourite fighters over the next 10 days or so, and I will incorporate them into a list to find out Saddoboxings top 100 fighters.

It is your favourite fighters so it does not need to be the best, just a personal choice of yours. The fighters can be active or retired.

I think I know who #1 will be, but it should be intresting... If you do not put a number next to them, I will presume the one at the top of your list is your #1. The only restriction I would give is please only list fighters who are, or have been professionals.

I will take all lists up to 2200 British Summer Time on Friday 7th April, and use the weekend to break any ties, by a way of a poll, and hopefully have the list up by Tuesday 11th April, just one final rule, only one list per member please, thanks....

Right time to get the thing going my top 10:

1 Thomas Hearns
2 Julio Cesar Chavez
3 Marvin Hagler

He was the original 'Million Dollar Baby', a headline from a piece on him in The Ring, in the late 80s.... He should of been so much more, but he is remembered by me at least, for being absolutely petrified of Iran Barkley in their Super Middleweight fight massacre. ;)
