1.) Joe Frazier. Amazing heart and stamina, the perfect match for Muhammad Ali for some truly memorable fights

2.) Sonny Liston. Intimidating, powerful and dominant, but with a very interesting and obscure personality.

3.) Joe Louis. He simply made boxing look beautiful.

4.) George Foreman. Some funny antics but also a great crowd-pleaser. Has the distinction of two careers with two completely different personalities.

5.) Jersey Joe Walcott. A very tricky and unorthodox fighter that was always fun to watch

6.) Max Baer. A powerful puncher that I feel could have done better if he wasn't afraid of his own power, so to speak. Great personality too.

7.) Evander Holyfield. Sorta like Joe Frazier, a real warrior, also exposed Mike Tyson who would be one of my least favourite heavyweights.

8.) David Tua. What can I say? We're both New Zealanders with Islander heritage, I love his voice and how he can actually be quite deep when he speaks. Seems to be a very class guy in general.

9.) Jack Johnson. His defiant antics outside the ring are both numerous and funny. I think sometimes people overrate him however.

10.) The handcuffer of lightning, Muhammad Ali. The man I love to hate and hate to love. I don't think anyone needs any explanation for why.
