    I'm assuming that the Mount Rushmore thing encompasses not just what the fighter did in the ring, but what their cultural & wider significance too?

    If so, that means heavyweights will probably be over represented over & above some potentially greater smaller fighters, so here goes:-

    Robinson
    Ali
    Louis
    Marciano

    The legend of Drederick Tatum!Hidden Content

    I’m not going to include Ray Robinson, Dempsey, Ali, Louis, Marciano, Henry Armstrong, Jack Johnson, Sandy Sadler, Willie Pep, Gene Tunney, John L Sullivan

    Not diss respect to them. But that’s another era. I never saw them fight live. I never grew up with them. They’re not part of my personal boxing upbringing.

    I think it’s best to judge it on fighters who you have seen fight. Fighters who were part of your life, your boxing upbringing, your era,

    So my list would be

    Floyd
    Roy Jones
    Pac-Man
    Ray Leonard

    Honourable mentions to Joe Calzaghe, Julio Ceaser Chavez, Pernell Whittaker, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and James Toney.
