Who is the most well liked fighter in history?

[Earl-Hickey]

George Foreman!

[RubenSonny]

Mathew Saad Muhammad is another.

[JAB5239]

Maybe before the Mayweather fight

I don't agree with the Mosley selection, but why would he be less liked after the Mayweather fight?

[DarkTerror88]

Arguello, Moore and Louis seem like the most popular choices.

I wouldn't disagree with this,but it still amazes me how well liked Sam Langford was liked during such a racist time. I've never read a harsh word I can recall from opponents, trainers, Managers or promoters. Even broke, blind and in old age Langford remained cheerful and humble.

Sam Langford is very under-appreciated and was a very special fighter. A fighter, or a man even, like him will never come around again. I wish i was alive to witness him, and his greatness.

I'm just repeating what y'all seem to know I guess.

1- Sam The Boston Terror Langford, It's already been said, but i'll say it again...your going to have a hard time finding anyone who knows of Langford, and doesn't appreciate him both in and out of the ring. A tiny ball of **** you up!

2 Joe Louis, America's hero. Its hard to not love the longest reigning champion of all time.

3 Archie the KO King Moore. He's the knockout king y'all.

4. Sugar Ray Robinson. On every p4p atg list. fanboys call him the perfect boxer. you've got to love to most fightingous mother ****er to ever lace up.

5. John L. Sullivan, I'm going way back now, and "like" might a stretch, but respect is a definate. The last bare knuckle champion as a special place in all boxing hearts.

6 and 7. Texas Jack Burke and Andy Bowen. I put them together because it's hard to say one's more liked or respected than the other. Alot of fight fans don't even know them, but i've told their story many, many times and never got anything but respect for them by doing so. 110 rounds these boys went...about 7 and 1/2 hours...my ****.

8. Ezzard Charles. I never really hear a lot of praise for Charles, but I never hear any criticism either.

9. Bob Fitzsimmons- if you don't respect the lightest HW champ of all time, and the man to take out James Corbett then a big **** you. Like Langford he's a little ball of **** you up.

10. Ike Ibeabuchi- Who didn't like Ibeabuchi? ring generalship out the ass. Like Ezzard I simply don't hear too much criticism for him.

I've heard he wasn't well liked in his day.

[Marchegiano]

to honest I didn't consider "during their time" my list is retrospective completely.

No Arguello ?.

Tex Cobb is another I forgot, don't think he's had a mention so far.
