    As with others my list is constantly changing, especially as I'm only an intermediate-level fight fan. Still discovering lots of great fighters.

    But right now:

    1 Roy Jones Junior
    2 Sugar Ray Robinson
    3 Marvin Hagler
    4 Roberto Duran
    5 Carlos Monzon

    Numbers 1-3 are always the same boxers - though the order might change - but places 4 and 5 are liable to change. I don't like to leave out fighters like Jack Johnson and Mike Tyson. But you said 5 so 5 it is. Good thread Robbi!

    Nice picks. Not a Tyson fan myself though.

    I found it pretty difficult to narrow this down to 5 (and even more difficult to resist the temptation to list about 10 honourable mentions) but here goes;

    Tito Trinidad
    Eric Morales
    Pernell Whitaker
    JM Marquez
    Ricardo Lopez

    The top two are basically set in stone and it's thanks to his last few performances that JMM has managed to overtake Finito.
