Personal top 20 favs

[IronDanHamza]

Nice list, then again i think most people will like pretty much everyones list of fighters, its just squashing it down to a personally top 20 thats hard!

No Ali? Surprising. Thought id be the only one with him absent

I dislike Muhammad Ali, with a passion.

I identify his greatness and have the world of respect for him. But really, reallyyyy dislike the guy.

I missed out James Toney an Dwight Muhammad Quawi. I HAVE to atleast mention those two.

I am with you on the Ali front haha.

It's a shame 'cause he's a really likeable guy.

Dude, making lists is basically my favorite thing to do here. In order of how much I like them. Not skills....just making sure I've got the rules right.

1. Rocco Francis Marchegiano.
2. Sam Langford
3. Joe Louis
4. Mike Tyson
5. Archie Moore
6. Jack Dempsey
7. Andy Bowen/Jack Burke
8. David Tua
9. John Sullivan
10. Bernard Hopkins
11. Joe Frazier
12. Ray Robinson
13. Ezzard Charles
14. Ike Ibeabuchi
15. Eric Esch
16. Roy Jones Jr
17. Jake LaMatta
18. Bob Fitzsimmons
19. James Douglas ( Yeah, one night of greatness does earn life-time fans)
20. George Foreman

Thats right, a list with Butterbean and no Ali. WTF? The **** is I simply am not a fan of running backwards and pop shotting.

I didn't really read much around the lists, and didn't realize the disdain for Ali in this thread. I just wanted to point out I've expressed my dislike for his style in prior threads...in no way did I jump on the band wagon. shame on me for reading after I post.

Jake LaMotta is a funny one, I admire his toughness chin and heart but, the things he did prevent him from being on my list.

i looked at the lists posted so far on this topic and those lists have in them fighters that there is virtually no available footage of, so i am curious to get my head around how a fighter can be someones favorite when they have seen absolutely nothing of them to make a claim that they are your favorite fighter.

4. Johnny Tapia
5. Pernell Whitaker

Read up on Sam Langford please. He is an extraordinary man who did many a great things which is why he is on my favourite lists. Despite being very little footage of him.

William Wallace is my favourite Scottish patriot...
