    Give me a top 10 of the last ten years.

    Just your favourites, boxers you really looked forward to watching, not who you think was the P-4-P best ten.

    Here's mine:

    1 - Rafael Marquez
    2 - Jose Luis Castillo
    3 - Erik Morales
    4 - Juan Manuel Marquez
    5 - Marco Antonio Barrera
    6 - Vernon Forrest
    7 - Fernando Montiel
    8 - David Haye
    9 - Miguel Cotto
    10 - Bernard Hopkins

    Kinda Mexican dominated.

    What about yours?

    1. Roy Jones Jr
    2. Joe Calzaghe
    3. MA Berrera
    4. Chris Eubank
    5. Lennox Lewis
    6. Naseem Hamed

    ...i must add that I were'nt really into boxing in the 90's because I was more interesting in playing out on my bike, but out of all the boxing I have watched in recent years, these are my pick from the 90's!!!

    About the same as my all time favourites, but without Larry Holmes. For some reason I can't get into the decades before the 90s, probably because I grew up with guys like Lewis, Tyson, Eubank & Hamed and being born in '87 I never experienced the hype for the old fights.

    edit; For some reason I read this thread as 'favourite fighters from 1990-2010'...

    Sorry mate, I meant 2000 - 2009.

    Whitaker only fought once in the 00's and he was KO'd in 4, so I doubt he'll be on your 00's list.

    Nice list.

    Robin Reid is a bit of a sleeper in that pack, but I liked him too.:good
