Forget what Boxing historians say. Who are the best fighters that YOU have seen. You are not necessarily saying they ARE the best fighters of all time, but which fighters that you have seen impress you the most? not based on excitement, but based on allround ability.

My own personal pick are....

Leonard
Whitaker
Hopkins

I believe these guys were damn hard to beat in their prime, and to ME they are more adaptable then any other fighters ive seen. Dont get on my back, because im not trying to disrepect other great fighters. There are other great fighters that ive probably never seen fight. This is just based on the guys ive SEEN, and the ones that impress me the most.

What are your picks?

so you say 'forget what boxing historians say' and then you choose 3 fighters that boxing historians would agree with as being the best. dumbass.

Sugar Ray Leonard
Salvador Sanchez
Floyd Mayweather jr
Miguel Angel Cotto
Juan Manuel Marquez

Reason i did not put Floyd is because he needs to show me he can do what he does against elite/prime fighters.
