    There's something to be said when Marciano is the most modern fighter on your list..... I just dont know what it is lol

    Why the McGovern pick? I'm not well versed one what he was like as a man, any personality traits you enjoy? or purely for his gungho career?

    Mason is way out of place on this list, he was never even close to being a world champ.

    Eubank was an entertainer. Boxing is a sport at the end of the day and while technically sound fights are amazing they do get a little boring sometimes. Also, Eubanks heart was huge. Benn caused a huge gash on his tongue and Eubank just swallowed copious amounts of blood to hang in and win.
