Sugar Ray Leonard / Marvelleous Marvin Hagler.

Roy Jones Jr. He was so good in the 90's no one even knew he didn't have a chin. Lol.... That's pretty funny. But Roy Jones was good.

I didn't really get into boxing until around the mid-80's, when I was about 10. But I've heard all about what Breland was like in the amateur's, 100+ wins and barely any losses wasn't it? Yeah...ONE loss.....&, I believe, 70-something KO's. That, is unreal. The KO's I saw.....were all quite devastating. I saw probably 15 of them. His right hand was dynamite.

Yes, it was looking that way. Difference was that Curry was so much more successful as a pro....& had beaten a stream of excellent fighters. He unified the 147 crown by KOing Milton McCrory....in one of the most devastating performances in history. Breland had taken a somewhat easy path to the crown...& was exposed by Marlon Starling, whom Curry twice defeated. Do you remember Breland's amateur days ? Wow, he was something then. That was back when amateur boxing was prominently featured on network T.V. I remember how exciting it was knowing Breland was fighting. He was that incredibly rare thing, an amateur KO artist.

I'm 38 and have been a boxing fan since 1973. I've seen a lot of great boxers in that time but the greatest would have to be Muhammad Ali. After him I would put: SRL Roberto Duran Alexis Arguello Pernell Whitaker Julio Cesar Chavez RJJ Michael Spinks Marvin Hagler Thomas Hearns etc.

Well my era is the one that is happening right now, so I gotta go with Floyd Mayweather. Understandable shout re Mayweather, but more interested in your August predictions: I give Reid a big shout against Lacy, Robin has been on the rough end of some terrible decisions in his career perhaps most notably when he boxed circle round Sven Ottke in Germany and got robbed. Also Calzaghe fight was so close to call and he didn't get the rub. I'm a firm beliver that the guy has real quality so don't be suprised if he takes Lacy out.

Mark Breland and Donald Curry, weren't those two expected to overtake the likes of Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard? I hear Breland and Curry were expected to have an awesome rivalry, Breland really was absolutely awesome in the amateurs and Curry was just the shit. Shame really. Yes, it was looking that way.

my era's best fighter was Evander Holyfield.

Donald Curry, from '84 - '86, was the most awesome fighter I have ever seen, BUT.....because he was unable to sustain his excellence, I refuse to call him a great fighter.

It's when you all were finally GROWN UP, that you realized Mike Tyson is no where near the best fighter of all time. so true The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Tyson easily, you'd have to be a retard to suggest that the Catskills Tyson wasn't the closest thing to invincible that we've ever seen in a boxing ring. You need to be more than just "invincible" over a VERY SHORT time period, JUYJUY, in order to be truly great. This man failed, & disgraced himself at times, in his biggest tests.

Mike Tyson, I grew up thinking he was the best boxer of all time. Agreed, Iron Mike for me.

Barrera is better than Morales. Its Oscar and Roy period. i agree that barrera is better than morales, but i disagree about oscar. if your going to choose oscar, you have to put hopkins there too, he dominated him in the fight and has a better record, hes also been the champ for longer
