Welsh / British = Jimmy Wilde , Brilliant fighter who knew the art of boxing .

American =Mickey Walker , Guts , Guts and more Guts

Australian = Lionel Rose , Fantastic athlete and a credit to the human race .

Too hard to name Just one .

yep.

domestic. darcy.

international. probably JC chavez.

but i do like the old time fighters. from 1910 to 1940ish. if you could bring that bunch back they would win every title up for grabs against modern fighters.... over 20 rounds.

Fenech , Tszyu and Harding

all three had an unbelivebale will to win and a never say die attitude in there fights

They all probably went that 1 fight too many

but at there peak that were very entertaining fighters

Marvelous Marvin Hagler because he was everything a champion is suppose to be. Classy in & out of the ring, never had a big mouth, never ducked anyone, always came in 100% prepared and had a champions mentality. Destruct & destroy.

Eric Crumble.

Why ? Because he never let adversity get in the way of his dream.

His dream was to hear a timekeeper say.... Seconds Out... Round 3.

For a guy that has the worst record ever, he has a couple of big names on his sheet.

AustraHungarian · 11-21-2011, 07:41 PM

Cannot name just one so you get my five:

1. Thomas Hearns
2. Evander Holyfield
3. Aaron Pryor
4. Larry Holmes
5. Felix Trinidad

Fave active is Miguel Cotto.

Danny Green or Anthony Mundine can't split the 2.

My fav fighter right now is Geale.

Why, because he has what it takes physically, mentally, and is one humble normal dude. A top ambassador for the sport, and excellent role model for kids.

It's very hard to choose just one. But those 3 are all close to the top of my list.
