Its really hard for me to narrow it down to 3 guys because I literally have about 50 favorite fighters, but here it goes...

1. James Toney - He was the full package and terribly underrated IMO. He could box, punch, and fight on the inside as well as anyone. Slick defensive skills meshed with a legitamite mean streak and disdain for his opponents. A lot of people don't like his brash attitude, but personally I find it hilarious. Never ducked anyone, fought the best/toughest guys from middleweight all the way to heavyweight. Tough as nails and one of the best chins of all time imo.

2. Roy Jones - Got me into boxing. There was never anyone like Roy and there'll never be anyone like Roy. I've been watching his fights since I got into boxing 4 years ago, and it still boggles my mind today the stuff that he could do in the ring. One of the greatest.

3. Roberto Duran - Loved his mean streak, and that "win at all costs" attitude. Fantastic fighter, hard not to love Duran.

good responses, thank you very much

If it was just three,

Ali - Had a big mouth but backed it up. He beat the best fighters in his era.

Sugar Ray Leonard - Again, beat the best fighters in his era.

Pacquiao - Exciting fighter and great resume.

Big fan of the slicksters, huh?

You gotta respect a guy that has sweetpea in his top 3 favorite fighters... Although I view him as one of the slickest most skilled fighters in the history of the game, you really need to be a purist to appreciate most of his fights.

Good list

[undefeated]

1-Muhammad ali-greatest hw and never even had a prime

2-rocky marciano-smallest hw -represents the underdog and was non stop punching machine

3-benard hopkins- 20 title defenses, smart fighter, a ring master

[Syntax Error]

1) Matthew Saad Muhammad - The most exciting fighter I've ever seen. A real life light heavyweight Rocky Balboa who could take a frightful beating, yet come back & knock guys out - fantastic performer!

2) Willie Pep - The best pure boxer there ever was. If you want to learn how to box, watch Pep; a true master of the art of boxing.

3) Salvador Sanchez - Absolutely brilliant fighter: it's such shame that he died so young, as I believe he would have become a top 5 ATG.

[Trainer Monkey]

Ali-His talents were otherworldy
Hopkins-walks out of Graterford prison at 21,ends up holding the Middleweight title for 20 defenses. I watch anyone win 2 rounds,1 handed in a championship fight because of a sepreated shoulder,when they could have quit and gone to the cards,where they were well ahead on.
You have to admire that kind of heart
Mancinci-All heart,no art

Honorable mentions
Foreman-they said that comeback was a joke,right up until they had to put the title around his waist
Frazier-Guts and determination personified
Manfreddy-Every time he got in to the ring,you knew he was coming for you,even if he didnt win,he was ready for war
Billy Miske-the guy was a dying and took a fight to give his family one last christmas
Jack Johnson-overcame vicious racism,and was probably the sports first real boxer,not a Queens Rules boxer

[ledsham]

Im intrested to see what everybodys favourite fighters are...

for me its...

1) Carl Froch- sheer exciment from start to finish he brings the pace and I love seeing him run his mouth and backing it up in the ring. His knockouts are brutal and hes going places this year.

2) Ricky Hatton- I've watched him for such a long time now and he never fails to impress me. I remember wanting to see him beat KT and him doing it was something else. His body punching and character is what I love seeing. His left hooks to the body are so sweet to watch and I rate him as one of the best in the world as this momment in time.

3) Mike Tyson- He was the reason I got into boxing, his knockouts and boxing abilities for me are outstanding. I remember watching some of his fights when i was younger and thinking omg I want to be a boxer. I think He will be in most peoples list, hes just a class character.
