It's hard to just pick 3, but here we go. Carlos Monzon Muhammed Ali, and Roberto Duran.
It's hard to just pick 3, but here we go. Carlos Monzon Muhammed Ali, and Roberto Duran.
1 Ali - enough said
2 Nigel Benn - the first fighter I ever really got behind who fought in 'my era'
3 Lennox Lewis - first fighter I followed overseas to support
just outside - Arturo Gatti (gave his all every time) and Frank Bruno (we all loved him despite his crapness)
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Hagler
Benn
Lewis
Old school
Ray Robinson
Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
New School
James Toney
Floyd Mayweather
Roy Jones
I'm surprised more UK fight fans don't mention Jimmy Wilde; maybe cause' there aren't a whole lot of his fights to watch. Gotta be one of the greatest flyweights ever; and daresay the greatest fighter from the UK Empire
Old school right here

1)Gugliemo Papaleo aka Willie Pep: Poetry in action, pure defense and the quitescence of elusiveness...
2)Roy Jones Jr (prime time): pure raw talent, exceptionnally skilled with a knack for show. Beautiful to see boxing at his best.
3) Eric Lucas. Well, not really my third choice but I have so much respect for him he has to be somewhere; genuine good guy, not the most talented but got to the top because he was working like a beast. If today Montreal is getting a corner stone in boxing with all the cards, massive assistance and such, it's greatly because of him. He's also the reason why we have a good "releve" to carry the torch, he inspired a whole generation of young canadians to wear the gloves and to get in the ring.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
No. 1 is of course MANNY PACQUIAO. There is no bad/boring pacquiao fight. Well, maybe the Agapito Sanchez and MAB II fights.
No. 2 onwards.. too many to mention. Ali, RJJ, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, JMM, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield..
