so calm down

Arturo Gatti-How can you not have this guy in your tops list.
Emanual Augustus-Extremely entertaining fighter who's pretty badass.
Samuel Peter-Only because he beat Toney's ass for 20 rounds.

I'm glad to see some boxing fans here.

Floyd for his technique
Tyson for his KO´s
Haggler for his fight against hearns

George Foreman-
Georges raw power was incredible.He was pummeling experienced amateurs as an 18 yo olympian en route to Gold...... he KOed linear world HW champion Michael Moorer with a single shot 2 months before his 46th birthday.
.Awesome fighter.

Ali-
my old man used to love Ali back in the 'Clay days,' before his popularity really boomed.Because we have similar thoughts on some stuff I took a liking to Alis flamboyuance as well.I consider Alis career up to and ending with the thrilla in Manilla.
The mental warefare he executed against Liston & many others thruout his career,combined with his speed and legs meant he could back up his cocky taunts & predictions.He beat Foreman & Liston when both were considered unbeatable and he may well have had the best chin of all time.


Tyson
Mike singehandedly rejuvinated boxing to mainstream when he burst on the scene in '87.
Tyson was in a class of his own,brutally knocking out ex-champs & all challengers.Mike attracted a whole new audience to boxing & I was one of them.
Watching Tyson live in his first reign was a real rush.You knew something bad was gonna happen at any moment,really got the heart rate up.I really enjoyed the Ruddock fights as well,that was power on display from both men.
Remember Tyson vs. Berbick,Thomas,Tubbs,Biggs, or Bruno.Like most of Mike early op these fighters were scared to death.Frank Bruno crossed himself 128 times on his ringwalk to fighting Mike............Tyson was awesome back in the day.

Fighters fighting now.?......
Wlad Klitschko
Wlads offense is awesome.For a fighter whos 6'6 he has an incredible ability to punch hard with both hands from all ranges & angles.His left hook is a true power shot & the overhand right is straight down the pipe & hard.I think he'll be able to set down on his shots at some point in the Brewster rematch & get a TKO ,or if Brewsters up for the fight then it could go to a dec.

Id say Kessler is one to watch.Great technique & power,his stamina & chin seem up to the job as well.He's just coming into his prime.

Mundine is pretty good.Lets see him fight Calzaghe to see where he stands.His speed & athleticism is unquestionable & hes maturing into a much better fighter these days.
Cotto,PBF.....like them too.
Too many to list...

Ali -- he may well have had the best chin of all time.

You're kidding me right? Chuvalo anybody?

Foreman stopped Chuvalo.


Alis chin was amazing.The first Frazier fight was full scale late rds punishment.
That shot that dropped Ali should have been lights out,particularly considering Alis fatuige & accumulated punishment to that point.
Ali never got stopped,and only dropped against Frazier & when he was young to Henry Cooper.

Liston in his prime was awesome.He had them huge fists & a hook that was lights out.


....Liston & a glove dispute before the 1st Patterson fight...
Then Liston appeared—and he was a sight for sore eyes. Mailer wrote that Liston “was wearing a dark-blue sweat suit, and he moved with the languid pleasure of somebody who is getting the taste out of every step. First his heel went down, then his toe. He could not have enjoyed it more if he had been walking barefoot through a field. One could watch him picking the mood out of his fingertips and toes. His handlers separated before him. He was a Presence.”

Liston asked, “What the hell’s going on?”

As Liston glanced around the room, Mailer looked into his eyes: “From the advance publicity one had expected to look into two cracks of dead glass, halfway between reptile and sleepy lizard,” but they were actually “dark, brimming, eloquent… You did not feel you were looking at someone attractive, you felt you were looking at a creation.”

While waiting for an answer as to what the hell was going on, Liston “pulled on one of the gloves, worked his fist about on it, and slapped the glove down on the table. ‘It still don’t fit,’ he cried out in an angry voice of a child. Everybody moved back a little.”

Liston’s cutman, “another dragon, Pollino… a lean Italian with an angry cropped-up face,” screamed at whoever would listen, “He’s not going in the ring with gloves over regulation weight.”


Pollino looked hard at D’Amato and screamed, “Wha’ do you call the official scale? There is no official scale. I’ll bet you a thousand dollars they’re more than eight ounces.”


Sonny Liston was getting restless. “I don’t want to stand much more of this,” he said in a voice Mailer described as “the child’s voice he used for display of temper.”

“This is the sort of thing gives reporters a chance to ask stupid questions.” Liston paused. “Just stupid questions, that’s all.”

Mailer wrote that Liston’s mood was changing: “His mood could shift as rapidly as the panoramic scenes in a family film. Suddenly he was mild, now he was mild. He tapped the gloves on the table, and said in a gentle voice, ‘Oh, they’re all right. Let’s use them.’ Then lightly, sadly, he chuckled, and added in his richest voice, ‘I’m gonna hit him so hard that extra quarter of an ounce isn’t gonna be any more than an extra quarter of an ounce he’s being hit with.’”

Sonny Liston got that right.

duran, true fighter. loved corrales

gatti, chavez, tapia. holyfield the boxing equivalent of r.couture

i like erick morales

i like erick morales

He fights next month for a world title as far as I know.





Aaron Pryor was good.Never lost a fight.

Gonna go with the hometown hero Erick "El Terrible" Morales. His wars with Marco Antonio Barrera are legendary. Also the guy that made me appreciate boxing as an art Julio Cesar Chavez. I also appreciated Evander Holyfield in his wars against Riddick Bowe. The Fan Man fight? fucking epic.

These are all moments when as a child in mexico we would all get together and watch the PPV's at my house and just have a blast. I was a kid and that was the first time I really appreciated a sport for it's beauty and technique.

I actually kind of shocked that Gatti's not on more peoples lists.But I guess I'm on his balls a little bit bc he's my favorite.

Manny Pacquiao and Luisito Espinosa
Ricardo Finito Lopez
Floyd Maywather
Naseem Hamed

oh yea Juan Manuel Marquez is good too

chuvalo still looks good even today.. I swear it looks like he was never a boxer.

and yes chuvalo imo had the best chin.

Manny Pacquiao
Marvin Hagler
paul malignaggi( Just kidding i hate malignaggi)
James Toney
Iron Mike Tyson

So is Rafael his brother.
Both current world champs at different weights.
