Mike Weaver for winning the Heavyweight title from Big John Tate after losing every single round he kept trying to KO the more skilled champion. Earnie Shavers for being a three round fighter that resurrected himself in the Ali fight and gave Holmes fits. Sean O'Grady for making the conversion from fighter to announcer and was a med student before being a fighter. Talk about adjustments! Reuben Oliveras for astounding KO's and exciting skillful moves. Muhammad Ali for backing up his mouth with his fists and the ability to be a great public speaker. Sonny Liston was not an all time great because he couldn't stay out of Jail earlier in his career but a mean mutha none the less. Carlos Ortiz for facing everyone in his time. Alexis Arguello fighter, gentleman and feared opponent. Carlos Monzon whose aggressive style was his defense. Marvin for his workmanship and tenacity. Wilfredo Benitez winning the junior welterweight title at seventeen and look like the veteran instead of the youth he was. Arturo Gatti not great but a true warrior. There were a few more but I have limited space and I did not forget the best of the best, Ray Robinson.
I wish I'd written that!
