    Nice List. I think Ike Williams is very underrated. Espicaly in regards to head to head.

    Débora Nascimento is a beatiful girl man !
    When I saw her at the street, personally, WOW ! Impressive how even more beautiful she is...

    Duran's one of my faves too....

    Being a product of my time,the following top 5 are my favorites ever in that order.The next 6 belong too but their order changes sometimes.
    1.Duran.I saw him finish a fight when I was about 10 and I was hooked.
    2.Hagler.True great,but had no flashiness about him..
    3.Ali.The greatest heavyweight I've ever seen.
    4.Frazier.The most courageous heavyweight I've ever seen.
    5.Chava Sanchez.Unbelievable fighter.Never once saw him rattled.When he kicked Gomez's ass,chills were running up and down my spine.
    6.Arguello.Class personified.
    7.Evander Holyfield.Balls the size of Russia
    8.Michael Spinks.Unique style unto his own translates into one of the greats at lightheavy.
    9.Steve Collins.See Evander Holyfield.
    10.Larry Holmes.Great fighter that only really got his just due years after he won the title because he followed Ali.He also put people off by speaking what was on his mind.
    11.Dwight Muhamed Qawi.Relentless and tough.Underrated on these boards.
    Special mention:Eder Jofre,Ruben Olivares,Shane Mosely,Matthew Saad Muhammed,Bobby Chacon,Danny Lopez,John Conteh,Jack Johnson,Joe Louis,MAB,EM and JMM.

    Nah, I know that, you gave hints in the past. You were upset by all the love he gets but, you know, some fighters deserve this. Duran is one of them.



    Very much indeed. I could make a list of 50 and would still forget some. :lol:

    Dammit! Thank you Bill1234, I totally forgot about Danny Lopez; he's definitely in my top ten. Gotta cut Giardello loose, I guess.
