    Currently, it's hard to say. I'm a huge admirer of Usyk but wouldn't call myself a fan. Beterbiev or Heffron I'd say. Hard to choose between the two.

    All time is Ken Buchanan
    Current is really tricky but I’ll say Beterbiev since he’s the guy I’ve watched the most and return to the most.

    Naoya Inoue and Ricardo Lopez although it’s a toss up with Erik Morales.

    Imagine what Sanchez could have done, the guy was a beast he beat future hall of famers and future champions and died before he was 25, he was a real boxer and a true champion.

    Supposedly, Sanchez was going to fight Arguello if he beat La Porte in the rematch. That fight had no choice but to be great. Too bad.

    All time: Shane Mosley. Fought the best and was always in good fights. His biggest shortcoming was part of why I love him, had a tendency to get dragged into scraps when he didn’t need to. It helped he was a likable guy.

    Now: Usyk. Whats not to like about the unified heavyweight champ?!

    Now: Uysk

    Past: Tyson (Mike), Tszyu and Fenech (watched quite a lot of their fights as a teenager at the time I first started drinking and going to pubs/bars with friends.)

    Future: I kind of like Gurgen. He looks as if he's having fun in the ring and hasn't been pressed so far. Will be interested to see how far he gets, and how he does against Jalolov and Itauma. Looks like he lost some weight over the past year ... which he needed to do if he's going to be a serious contender.
