Your favourite ever fighters?

[Galindezs]

No offense, but you know absolutely nothing about Kid Chocolate.

Been researching this man recently, studying his record and fights. Very underrated and underappreciated fighter it seems - I never hear his name mentioned. Looks great on film, very skilled. The film quality is not that great so you have to look hard, but it's all there. The feints and shifts, jabbing and combination punching, blocking, parrying, changes in direction. Chocolate, like his fellow Cuban great Kid Gavilan, was a very exciting fighter and a fan favourite in New York, as well as a great character outside the ring. Flashy, intelligent and full of energy.

Chocolate was also Walker Smith Jr's idol.

Okay, this list is going to contain some former "un-ranked" fighters, just so y'all know. This is a list of "favorite" fighters, not necessarily the best. So, without any further adieu, here we go.....



(With the exception of the first one, these are in no particular order....unless the order in which they come to mind counts.)

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Mike Tyson......before the "cicus began"
3. Roberto Duran
4. Zack Padilla....damn, I miss this guy.
5. Roy Jones Jr.
6. Marvin Hagler
7. Ray Leonard
8. Bert Cooper
9. Mike "The Bounty" Hunter
10. Joe Hipp
11. Ray Mercer
12. Tommy Morrison
13. Bruce Seldon....when he was a prospect
14. Ray Olivera
15. Tony Tubbs....boring sometimes; but he could box your ears off when he was on....boy was slick.
16. Rid**** Bowe....before he broke my heart, so to speak.
17. Evander Holyfield
18. Marco Antonio Barrera
19. Kevin Kelley
20. Junior "Poison" Jones
21. Kennedy McKinney
22. James Toney.....as a middleweight and super-middleweight (still love his personality; but damn he's fat)
23. Livingstone Ras-I Bramble
24. Lamon Brewster
25. "Prince" Charles Williams
26. Merqui Sosa
27. Thomas Hearns......should have mentioned him much sooner.
28. Maurice "Mo Better" Harris
29. Derrick Jefferson....hated that he didn't pan out.
30. Earnie Shavers.....how can you not love "Mr. Destruction"?
31. Larry Holmes

A really good New York prospect named Peter Quillin uses that monicker now. This is him:

Watch out for him, this guy is ill.
