    Favorite 5 Boxers in the Last 20 Years

    I am NEVER going to blast a boxer or anyone posting their opinion (because I've seen quite a few lists that I don't agree with but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion/ opinions) I'm just curious to see you guys top 5 fighters in the last 20 years (NOT BEST 5, YOUR FAVORITE TO WATCH):

    1. Bernard Hopkins
    2. James Toney
    3. Andre Ward
    4. Caleb Plant
    5. Saul Alvarez (Canelo)

    Caleb Plant is a bit of an outlier amongst those greats.

    I like his style too though, I think he does a job on Benavidez.

      I’m mainly gonna pick guys who had their primes in the last 20 years...

      I’ll go:

      1. Hatton
      2. Groves
      3. Pacquiao
      4. Lomachenko
      5. Khan (Not really a Khan fan but he’s never in a bad fight)

        Damn, I actually can't in fairness just pick 5. Shortest list I could actually come up with was about 12 and even then I kept thinking of more...

            Wilder
            Cotto
            Pac
            Floyd
            Caleb Plant
            Not in that particular order and I enjoyed watching a couple on there just to see if they lose.

              I've been rewatching some Khan fights here lately. I rewatched the Nelo fight and Khan wasnt doing bad until he got destroyed

                I’d put 3 grand on Canelo by KO and then done a couple of perm bets on under 6.5, 8.5, 10.5 etc.

                After the first 3-4 rounds, I was sh**ting myself. Khan was 4-1 up after 5 for me. Whenever Canelo landed though it was only going to be a matter of time...

                    Yeah, Khan was up in that fight before the inevitable happened ...
