Who is your personal favourite boxer of all time and why...

Any era, and division... not neccessarily the greatest, the best, the most heavy handed etc but your personal favourite and why... simple!


For me personally its Chris Eubank. He may not have been the greatest, but I was a kid growing up and taking an interest in boxing in his era and loved his swagger in the ring, his eccentricity, the nonsense he used to come out with before, after and between fights, and also the fact that underneath it all he was a warrior.

Who you got...?

 

Mine is Pac...biggest reason would be because we're both Filipino. But Pac is also a great fighter and always tries to give the fans a good fight. And I know he's probably arrogant (wouldn't know since I don't know him), but he does well to hide it when on camera. And of course, he is a very exciting fighter to watch with an excellent "diamond in the rough" backstory.

 

Easy choice for the me. The Greatest of all times - Muhammad Ali. Love everything about him, the way he boxed, his personality, the way he danced, his heart, his chin, his speed, his story, and most of all the fact that when he spoke he sounded like a great speaker.

This speech he makes before the Foreman fight gives me shivers, there will never be another like him;

for me its Pacquiao, the whole rags to riches story and IMO the way he is going , he may be president of the philipines one day not bad for a poor kid who sold cigs on the streets

he is exciting to watch, doesnt duck anyone, has the most impressive wins than any other boxer of this era IMO

i cannot really compare him to older fighters as i was not around to watch every fight

but IMO when the whole Pac story is written I think he will be remembered as The all time great

 

Tommy Hearns..........

 

for me its pac too. simply becuase he always give electrifying performance. boxing is about entertainment and pac will give you every bit of entertainment when it comes to the square circle. he is always willing to take one to land one when he knew he can take his opponents be shot and willing to trade bombs if necessary.

 

Floyd Mayweather. Damn he's just too good. I don't care if he fights so ****ing boring, but he's the most complete fighter Ive ever seen.

Im a *****, so **** what *******os?

 

Roberto Duran. Not many fighters brought their fire within them into the ring, when Duran fought, he didn't just fight to get paid. He fought for The poor people in Panama and he fought for pride and he never stopped punching until he tore his opponent apart.
Of course there is the No man scandal, but not too many men can bounce back from such shame only to win a world titles again and fight MONSTERS in higher divisions. Duran is also a top 10-15 atg

 

i have duran in top 6, how the **** did he beat SRL, i have many fighters i like that i cant separate
Holyfield was a warrior in prime
RJJ was superman
JMM GOAT combination puncher
Duran vicious fighter

 

Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Great skills, great toughness, great mentality, entertaining style.

 

Pacquiao, followed by B-Hop.

 

Prince Naseem Hamed...made me a hardcore fan of the sport. He also made me want to have a flying carpet...

Miguel Cotto - The coolest mo****a on the planet..

I like his style, he can rip it up, when he just hunts you down and goes to work, like against Zab Judah..

Fights anyone, big big heart, humble..

 

Mike Tyson for obvious reasons.

 

What a surprise. :rofl
