Re: Your three favourite fighters of all time?
Ali - Fought and beat the best. Every time they wrote him off this beautiful athlete proved them wrong. Like him or loath him 99.9% of people rate him as either the best or second best heavyweight ever. Add to that the way he shaped a nation and you have an idyllic figure that transcended his sport.
Ray Robinson - If there's a God and he created the perfect fighter then it's Ray. The guy was simply the best P4P fighter ever. If I need to say any more... then you need to be on a different type of forum....
Ray Leonard/Roberto Duran/Marvin Hagler/Tommy Hearns - I can't split these guys up - the fights they gave us against each other are a part of my life and will stay with me forever.
Honourable mentions - Lennox brought some pride back to heavy's in Britian. Naz - for the wild ride and then ultimatley the crash and burn. Nigel Benn - balls of steel - watch the McClellan fight, despite the tragic end, few fighters can take that kind of pain and punishment and come back. Nigel was virtually unconcious outside the ring in the first round. Awesome.
Special mention - Peter Buckley and fighters like him... with out the nearly and never was you'd never know the great !!!
