    Alot of those guys you have on your list were great fighters, just ****ty boxers. You don't have to look pretty in the ring to be a great fighter, and you can be one of the best technical boxers on the planet and be a really ****ty fighter.

      I assumed you were talking about current champions. Sure, there have been enough bad ones in the last few years that Cooney could have beaten at least one of them. I wouldn't pick him over Valuev though. But Cooney made over 10 million in his career (when it was worth a lot more than it is now), which is why I picked him in this category.

        If your white and American say your Irish. If your Irish move to America.

        Damn If I was boxer I'd move to America like Matthew Macklin and play my Irish parentage card.

            Valuev. He's horrible, and the only positve thing about him is fighters have to jump to reach his head. He only deserves 50k a fight. When hes getting much more.

                      valuev definitely, only winning fights b/c of his size advantage over people.
