Top 10 Fighters to Watch

[Nagabilly]

Who are your top 10 favorite fighters to watch? These are fighters whose style you admire/prefer, or whose films/video are worth collecting for repeated viewing. Rank them if you prefer, but's it's not of the essence to get your point across.

(I will rank) Mine are:

1. Roberto Durán
2. Mike Tyson
3. Muhammad Ali
4. Joe Louis
5. Sugar Ray Robinson
6. Julio César Chavez, Sr.
7. Alexis Arguello
8. Larry Holmes
9. Aaron Pryor
10. Oacar De La Hoya

Forgive this young noob but Holmes? I've only seen a few vids of him and to me he seems to be a jab-jab safety first type of boxer. I guess I'm wrong.

What are some of his best fights?

1. I don't need to defend or debate any of my selections, based solely on personal taste. If Homes doens't impress you, so be it.
2. The jab was Holmes' best offensive weapon, used to soften-up oppenents for heavier artillery, NOT FOR SAFETY.
3. Second only to Joe Louis in number of successful title defenses, Holmes very best was vs America's Greatest White Hope - Gerry Cooney.

The Norton fight wasn't too bad either.

Lol sorry if my post rubbed you the wrong way man I'm not trying to argue, as I said in my post I'm still a noob fan and I've never even watched a single full Holmes fight! Peace

There was nothing wrong with your post. You deserved a more gracious response.
