    Who do you pick (excluding Ali and Tyson as I assume the majority would choose one of those 2) and why?

    My pick: Hagler

    My pick also Hagler. Been watching back a lot of his fights and he was about as perfect a combo of boxer/puncher/brawler as you could ever hope to see. Plus he would show us how big a deal GGG really is.

    Sam Langford.
    He never held a world title in his day.
    If he were around today I think he might be winning titles every division from lightweight to cruiserweight.

    I'll pick Hagler, as well.

    The first fight I saw as a child was Hagler-Hearns.

    Who do you like more of the two? You seem to love those 2 a lot. Even more than Kova/Wlad/Usyk/GGG/etc

    Bob Foster. I would love to see how he would deal with the current light heavyweights.
