    Can't forget Joe Lewis in heart as well. Especially the time period he was king and what he stood for.

          Heart: Holyfield, it's what the guy stands for..Pacquiao also has a ton of heart to..

          best left hook : Tito Triniadad, Tua, Tyson....but not SRR

          Just thought I'd throw him in since he's one of the newer "greater" fighters.
          SRR's left hook was by far the better punch than any of the guys listed above. Lead left, left hook in combo, double/triple hook all perfect, short, fast and brutally powerful.

            His right hand was beautiful too. The right hand that flew Graziano's mouth piece out was scary and so powerful. Wow.

              That's what I'm sayin. SRL was no where near Ali in 1966 as far as foot work.

                N e wayz ya opinion? I wana know what ya think Overall!

                Pretty much what i would say but i would change a few of these things

                Stamina: Henry armstrong...and its not even close. Guy fought at a finatic pace rounds 1-15 and could even take it 20 rounds at the same pace.

                I agree with you on floyd with blocking defense. Toney is good but against fast boxers he can get caught. Ex Roy jones jr....roy landed all night long. Floyd fought a fighter in Zab who is close to roy in speed but was able to catch alot of his punches.

                Worst luck: Salvidor Sanchez...could have been the greatest featherweight ever but the night after he beat another legend in azuma nelson he died in a car crash. Just at the age of 23 he was 44-1. He beat legends in Azuma nelson, wilfed gomez, danny lopez as well as other great fighters.

                Best flurry...henry armstrong...no fighter averaged more flurry per fight than him.

                additional categories

                hardest puncher-Mike tyson (some people may have had more strenght but his accurancy and placement is why i picked him) well place punch combined with speed,accurrancy, and power=destruction
