I would have to go with J.C.Chavez. this guy was amazing. he didn't lose a fight until his 91st i beleive. no one can compare to that, he he always fought the best any div had to offer.
VERY TRUE, LIKE IVE SAID A MILLION TIMES WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE ANOTHER FIGHTER LIKE HIM IN OUR LIFETIME! OR EVER AGAIN.

"For many years all the leading record books, including both Pugilato and The Ring Record Book, recorded the first loss of Julio Cesar Chavez as being by disqualification....
This has since been changed to a knockout victory for Chavez, based on confirmation from the local boxing commission in Culiacan that it altered the verdict the following day.
Ramon Felix, manager of Chavez, happened to be a member of the Culiacan commission at the time."

That was in his roughly 15th fight.
Whitaker was ROBBED against Chavez, i had Whitaker winning 10 rounds to 2.
Chavez is awesome, but he's no Jimmy Wilde or Roberto Duran.
i think anybody who calls a boxer who fought in the 50s and 60s the greatest of all time is pretty pathetic..fighters are much better today...roy jones is the greatest of all time..he went about 12 13 years barely loseing a round..their was or is nobody who will ever dominate like that again
Roy is one of my favorite fighters of all time, but you cant compare the fighters Jones faced like Garbagemen, Cops, and Postal workers to some of the fighters of the 50's and 60's who faced top level opponents sometimes 4 to 5 times back to back, guys who fought 10 fights a year, not 1-3 like we these days. It's easy too look good for most of these guys when they average 2 fights per year, there were guys in the 50s and 60s that had two fights a month.
A prime Tyson is my pick.Who could he not of beat of any generation?Power in both hands,and walked though the best of jabs(ask Larry Holmes,Spinks).He could throw from any angle with power,and hw speed thats ungodly.Plus his stamina was much better back then to go the distance.
