Who is you Favorite boxer in history?

Good lord no lists!!!! How to pick one.

Gun to head Rocky Marciano

probably was Ali or Foreman or later on Moore
But defending him on this forum made me learn even more about him and grew an appreciation for probably the most misunderstood underdog fighter in history. What I thought was a crude slugger upon further research was proven to be a highly defensive dynamic dangerous fighter. Who was never in a boring fight.

ps dying to write on about why Archie Moore needs a Netflix series but I’m gonna let it go.

 

Willie the Worm Monroe- saw him when I was a kid, been my favorite ever since

 

Depends on the week. Jeez who will shall I pick today...

 

For everything I say about Benitez he was one of my favourites and I wanted to fight just like him when I first came into the gym he was a hero of mine.

 

Archie has one of the most fascinating life stories in boxing. He’d need to be done justice! I’ve always felt a Netflix series loosely based around the life of a few fighters from the early years 1910s-1930s would be a hot seller.

 

George Foreman. Never changed my mind here.

 

I have always loved Willie Pep and Fitzsimmons

 

The Comeback version of George Foreman was one of the most inspiring people I have ever seen, even outside of boxing and even outside of sports. I'll say him.

 

I would love to see a film about Joe Bowker,

in the vain of the period that he was actually in, think "the Railway Children" type Drama or the Grapes of Wrath or a Seabiscuit type setting...

Rural Lancashire, from Farm Life to Fistic Prowess. to the City of London, to the Great Halls of Top Level Prize Fighting, to a Historic Name and a Life well lived & a necessary telling.

 

Either Salvador Sanchez or Ernesto Marcel.

 

Alexis Arguello. Great man, beautiful inside and outside the ring, artistic style with some violence, perfect punching technique with picturesque KOs, involved in some memorable battles, and just a pleasure to watch win or lose.

 

Muhammad Ali. When I was in the eight grad we had to write an essay on our heroes. My heroes were John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, and Dr. King and they still are today. Ernest Hemingway said as you get older it's hard to have heroes but it is kind of necessary.

 

Just one?

Cornelius Boza-Edwards.

He fought out of the UK so he’s adopted British as far as I’m concerned and he was the most exciting fighter of his era, which was an era of incredibly exciting fighters.
