YOUR favourite boxer of all time
Collapse
-
My all-time favorite is Rocky Marciano. One of the toughest boxers that ever lived and considered to be one of the best, if not THE best conditioned boxers of all time. He wasn't the biggest, heaviest or quickest, didn't have the best technical style so he knew he had to outwork his opponents, both in the ring and in training for his fights. My other favorites include:
Joe Louis
Muhammad Ali
Sugar Ray Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson
Thomas Hearns
Evander Holyfield
Miguel Cotto
Felix Trinidad
Oscar De La Hoya
Yuriorkis Gamboa
Floyd Mayweather
Sugar Shane Mosley
Marvin Hagler
Arturo Gatti
Roy Jones
Bernard Hopkins
Joe Calzaghe
David Tua
Nigel Benn
George Foreman
Joe Frazier
Erislandy Lara
Edwin Valero
Lary Holmes
Jack Dempsey
Jack Johnson
Lou Ambers
Tony Canzoneri
Willie Pep
Sandy Saddler
Vitali Klitschko
Wladimir Klitschko
Lennox Lewis
Sonny Liston
Ray Mancini
Mike McCallum
Andre Berto
Manny Pacquiao
Aaron Pryor
Alexis Arguello
Henry Armstrong
Marco Antonio Barrera
Julio Cesar Chavez
Mike Tyson
Andre Ward
Pernell Whittaker
Ronald "Winky" Wright
Paul Williams
So, as you can see, I mostly lean towards the big punchers that knock out their opponents in about 5 rounds or less (Foreman, Liston, Tyson, Hearns), some boxer/punchers that throw a lot of punches and dominate on the scorecards (Leonard, Williams, Hopkins) and the warriors that usually score late round knockouts (Chavez, Cotto, Gatti, etc.)
I just wanted to add I'm new here, as you can tell from my post count and really enjoying reading the posts on the boxing and MMA boards here.
