In no order:

Muhammad Ali (dancer)
Sugar Ray Leonard (Combination)
Sugar Ray Robinson (style)
Mike Tyson (animal)
George Foreman (Brute)
Chris Eubank (Poseur)
Naseem Hamed (Elusive)
Ricky Hatton (Body)
Roy Jones Jnr (Speed)
Larry Holmes (Jab)

Great to see Holmes in a few lists, so underated in his day.....comes second to Ali as my favorite heavy of all time.

Oh and one last one Wayne McCullough (CHIN!)

1 Mike Tyson (Electric)
2 Sugar Ray Robinson (Best Ever)
3 Joe Louis (Ahead of his time)
4 Muhammed Ali (Speed)
5 Sugar Ray Leonard (Finisher)
6 David Haye (Breath Of Fresh Air)
7 Chris Eubank (Upper Class haha)
8 Naseem Hamed (Entertainer)
9 Roy Jones JR (Masterful)
10 Floyd Patterson (Peak A-boo)

7,8,9 and 10 change alot depending on what mood im in. David Haye is a new comer as he is a exciting fighter in the higher divisions something u dnt see much now, and his love for North Cyprus gained alot of respect from me.
