Glad to see some props for Nazarov.

Everyone always talks about how Gatti destroyed poor Joey Gamache. They don't realize that Orzubek destroyed a younger, fresher, better, and not-outweighed-by-15-20-lbs Gamache in equally devastating fashion.

In his hometown no less. I read a article or fan from that town saying that the whole town was heartbroken afterwards. Won his Title on the road too in SA against Thobela, then rematched him and beat him even worse in his next fight. Guy was a warrior, shame his injuries caught up with him and that he didnt get some more oppertunities and name fights when he was Champion.

Nazarov, Arbachakov and Tszyu are some of my favourites.

I loved Arbachakov....he was so complete.

About as perfect a boxer/puncher as you will find.

2. Muhammad Ali
3. Mike Tyson
4. Sugar Ray Robinson
5. Joe Louis
6. Larry Holmes
7. Julio Cesar Chavez
8. Alexis Arguello
9. Oscar De La Hoya
10. Aaron Pryor

Honorable Mention (unranked):

• Sugar Ray Leonard
• Thomas Hearns
• Marvin Hagler
• Riddick Bowe
• Michael Spinks
• Eusebio Pedroza
• Carlos Monzon
• Jose Napoles
• Panama Al Brown
• Ismael Laguna

*Given his well-documented ring generalship and multi-talent (all the offensive/defensive tools of the trade) he probably would've been my #1 pick anyway, my nationalistic bias (see username) made it inevitable.
