    Larry Holmes
    Manny Pacquiao
    Ray Robinson
    Muhammad Ali
    Thomas Hearns
    Evander Holyfield
    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Ray Leonard
    Duran, I'll go with the win over Sugar Ray in Montreal, easily coulda picked a few more as Duran has had quite alot of Great nights but im sticking with Leonard

    Sweet Pea, i will say Chavez even tho it wasnt a win, we all know it damn well should have been! Took the Undefeated superstar of boxing to school

    Larry Holmes, Gotta be the Norton fight, gave it everything.

    Manny Pac, he is a better fighter now than the tornado that blitzed Barrera, for me his best win is the one over Miguel Cotto because while Cotto hasnt been quite the same since Margarito he ment buisness that night and Cotto when he is on his game is a force but Manny just took his best shots with alarming ease and roared back, He had the bigger man firmly in reverse gear and he got the stoppage

      Roy Jones, id think its outta the James Toney, fight Griffin rematch and John Ruiz fight.

      I'll say the Ruiz fight, he was outstanding that night and pretty much made Ruiz quit on himslf. His speed was magnified at HW and his judgement of distance and timeing was impecable. He even shipped a couple of shots early and took em like a champ, his power wasnt lethal but he buzzed Ruiz and had his respect as a puncher. This from a man who started out at MW! Incredible

        Evander Holyfield - Was thinking initially Tyson 1 or Bowe 2 but im gonna say Qawi 1, just finished rewatching it and The Real Deal in only his 12th fight in against a Real champion in Qawi showed incredible, stamina for one thing i mean he's still bouncing around letting the combinations go in the 15th round, Toughness - he had to battle through a few tough spots and Dwight tagged him with good hard shots throught the fight and a whole load of talent.

          Tommy Hearns - I will say his KO of Roberto Duran, those Right hands would have knocked out a Rhino!

          Ray Leonard - Im gonna pick his stoppage of the man above, Tommy Hearns, Fantastic fight two true greats both in their primes. Ray had to turn slugger to pull it out but he did it showing grit and guts

            Ali - I think his performance against Williams was flawless, he had matured into a big strong sturdy man while keeping that lightning speed, this was Ali at his very special best imo

              Last one!

              Floyd Mayweather - Gotta go with his dismantling of Arturo Gatti. I know he was impressive against Far better opposition than Gatti but man at 140 he seemed to have good snappy power and i just dont think ive ever seen such a comprehensive beating on the world stage
