Who''s your favourite fighter ever. Just 1 pick.

I guess mine would be Mando Ramos, action, skill, heart and lots of blood.

 

Was just thinkin' about Mando Ramos this morning, MW. Convinced that if he hadn't self-destructed he'd have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the most venerated ATGs.

 

Benny Leonard

 

Though he never really peaked and had a world of potential I still don't think that he would of been able to beat many of the true upper echelon of lightweight ATG's for various reasons. All the same though he was a sight to behold in the ring.

 

Marvelous Marvin Hagler.. the true definition of a fighter. Hard worker, hard guy, always in shape, always a tough night for anyone because Hagler cannot be knocked out at middleweight. Had that "Me vs the World" attitude after getting robbed in the Antuofermo fight.

He was also mean, intimidating, versatile (but sometimes lacked a B plan), mobile (in his prime), fast enough, powerful and vicious when came the time to close the show. My all-time fav by a mile.

 

I guess I'll be the first to say it: Mike Tyson.

Ok, my flame suit is on!

Being a fan of Mike seems to be looked down upon because so many casual fans like him. I definitely don't think he is the greatest overall boxer ever, and he had limitations, but I do think he is a Top 10 ATG, and he did things in the ring I haven't seen before or since. His story is fascinating, in and out of the ring.

 

Marvelous Marvin. Bob Foster.

 

Hagler, Duran, and Chavez.

Yeah, I know we're supposed to pick only one.

 

Iron Mike
with big george a clost 2nd

 

I'd cheer for Hearns against any fighter in history!!!!

That guy made me love boxing.

 

Tommy Hearns all the way. Never a dull moment.

 

Lots of love for Hearns and Duran in this thread....would they be 2 most popular do we believe???

Foreman during his comeback...iam a young guy and I remember that clearly. Just his whole demeanor walking into the ring knowing he could school these young guys. The fight with Evander made me a fan of the sport, George took some bombs off that big old head of his, combos to the body, and just kept coming and managed to land a few of his own against a guy who was in his prime.

 

Tito Trinidad.

I don't think I ever seen him initiate a clinch, he rarely took a backward step and he never wanted to quit.

He would get knocked down a lot but that only added to the excitement. Genuine ko power meant the knockout could come at any moment. When you add his undeniable charisma into the mix, it's hard not to love the guy.
