Which boxing legends do you recommend me to watch their career?

[The plunger man]

I've been a fan of the sport since December of 2012, so to say I've missed a lot of great fights.

I'm 22 and I want to enjoy the careers (the best fights) of the great boxers I've missed chronologically.

I've thought to start with these:

-Óscar de la Hoya

-Julio César Chávez

-Mike Tyson

Please I need advice of the fighters that I should watch. Which ones do you recommend me?


Thanks in advance.

I would say try and watch a few highlights of Joe Louis on YouTube ....compilation of his greatest knock outs....terrifying power

Roberto Duran
Evander Holyfield
Erik morales

Those 3 are iconic

[Mr.Fantastic]

Lots of names. Some guys I'd say have most influenced my enjoyment of boxing.

Roy Jones - better than anyone I've seen when he was at his best
James Toney
Ricardo Lopez - one of the best technical boxers I've ever seen, he should have a How To Box video series
Muhammad Ali - many historic fights
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao
Evander Holyfield
Diego Corrales - many fun fights
Arturo Gatti - many many fun fights
Pernell Whitaker
Michael Carbajal
Naseem Hamed
Jorge Paez (Sr.)
Gerald McClellan
Nigel Benn
Shane Mosley
Ray Leonard
Tommy Hearns
Roberto Duran
Marvin Hagler

I recommend Sugar Ray Leonard, ATG, involved in multiple FOTY contenders, and in my opinion the best fighter of the modern era.

I wounldnt say Johnny Tapias a legend but I wouldnt say he isnt either but HBO did a cool lil docu/movie on him, check it out than watch a few of his fights, they were fun to watch and after watching the documentary youll appreciate them more.

-Mike Tyson[/B][/CENTER]
Best Technical Richardo Lopez. Best head movement slipping punches Vintage Mike Tyson 1985 to 1989 best Trash talker Ali , Watch Early Roy Jones fast as hell so was Meldrick vs Chavez good fight. Salvador Sanchez vs Wilferdo Gomez Tommy Hearns Sugar Ray Alexis Arguello vs Arron Pryor, Boom Boom Mancani Vs Arguello , Julian Jackson knocks out than he gets knock out by The G-Man . Ron Lyle are all action fights someone always goes down Ron Lyle vs George Foreman that was a hell of a fight. If you want to go to sleep watch Mayweather

lol, Tapia is one of my favorites & Toney is a good pick, loved the way he clowned people in the ring (tongue out), heard his gym wars were better than some of his actual fights.

highly underrated and forgotten. Growing up he was the middleweight champ and that toney ko was a shocker. Thought he'd be one of the greatest ever. He was like a southpaw, middleweight Ali.

As good as Toney is. People forget that Nunn was ****ing him up in that fight. Was making easy work of him and....... bam Lights Out lol. He was a great fighter and imo one of the better ones I've seen in the ring. Sad to see what happened with him.
