    Do you not have any favs from the past? When you were growing up and before you were born ?

    Historic boxing is underrated. You should watch some of the older era fighters. I'll give you Michael Spinks. Now that's a technician.
    I do not have because I didn't grow up with boxing haha.

    I'm 22 and I fell in love with the sport with Pacquiao vs. Márquez IV (in 2012).

      You don't have to grow up with boxing to have old timer favs. Just watch them, there's plenty footage. Guys like Duran, Pea and Hearns are levels above Marquez and Pacquiao.

          It's hard to pick one.

          Monzon is my GOAT middleweight as well.

              Great list. I never took to Naz as a person but loved watching his fights.

                He had a terrific style, terrific power and beat all the best names in his division at the time and would have become the first man to hold all the belts in a single division, if it wasn't for IBF politics at the time. Brought so much excitement to boxing too.

                  Agreed. Love him or hate him we all wanted to watch him.
