Nice list Philly!

 

Liston Number 1, good for you Swag!

 

Now this is EVERY true WARRIOR'S list.

Oh, I get it. They're all from Philly. Ha ha.

 

Exclusively into heavies mate

 

Bit disappointed by the lack of fighters from Philadelphia on your list, Philly.

 

Great to see Machen and Williams held in such high regard. Had no idea you were a Patterson fan. Morrison...ugh.

 

Yeah, I mean the guy left out Joe Frazier and Bob Montgomery for crissakes.

 

In no particular order:
Matthew Saad Muhammad
Bobby Chacon
Felix Trinidad
Arturo Gatti
Jose Napoles
Roberto Duran
Alexis Arguello
James Toney
Mike McCallum
Carmen Basilio
Yaqui Lopez
Wilfredo Gomez
Erik Morales
Juan Manuel Marquez
Larry Holmes

 

I think everyone's a Patterson fan!

I used to hate Morrison but I have so much sympathy for him now after his wild trainwreck of a life. His fights are also exciting as hell imo.
