Your number one is mine as well. Such a great technician, a tough guy and a great champion.

Jimmy Wilde would be next. The idea that he fought almost his whole career giving up 10-15 pounds and was a huge KO puncher? Astonishing!

He was only on the seen a short time, but I thought Colin Jones was just exemplary. Not a great athlete, but a hard, hard man.

Howard Winstone was undisputed world champion while missing parts of three fingers. I'm not even sure how to think about that!

My favourites are varied; some great & some not:-

Carl Thompson - I'm a huge fan of The Cat. Tough as old boots & was always involved in exciting fight.

Lennox Lewis - Class act that never ducked anybody & the best heavyweight of his generation.

Pat Barrett - Short career, but very exciting fighter that could be hugely explosive.

Prince Naseem Hamed - I loved his swagger; brutal punch power & a real crowd pleaser.

Nigel Benn - A true warrior who never knew when he was beaten, except for his last fight.

He certainly was.

Benn was a joy to behold as a fight fan.

I just wish that there were more like him nowadays.

Chris Eubank- Not for his boxing but for his mouth.

Good point.

I should have added Bruno too.

A decent campaigner who persevered until he finally won a world title.

Only really let himself down in his last fight.
