    One of my all time old school fighters is Jack Dempsey. His skill and power are something else. Even Ko people with body shots. Slightly more modern it would have to be Henry Cooper. He was a brilliant boxer, with an incredible left hook.

    Here's some cool videos.

    Corbett Vs Fitzsimmons


    John L Vs Lausse

    Same for me; Ray was the ultimate entertainer in and out of the ring and never ducked anybody in 200 fights. A true legend.

    Rocky Marciano , you got to love a guy who says the following before every fight.

    " Im going to throw as many punches as I can , as hard as I can , for as long as I can"

    He may not have been a classic boxer but he was a top guy.

    Barney Ross. A triple weight world champion and never once stopped at a time when the talent pool was enormous. The mans life was extraordinary, a real tough guy

    I am seriously old if RJJ is an 'old time fighter'...

    One of the greats of 'the old times' would be Bob Fitzsimmons. A national of the world, he is the only man to win THE Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight World Championship...
