    Why are there just present fighters on here? My vote would go to Vasily Jirov. I loved the way that guy fought! From the list provided though, GGG is a no brainer for me.

    The White Tiger, that dude was a great bodypuncher. Had a few fights of him on vhs. That war with Toney, wow.

    What ever happened to Zeljko Mavrovich? I only saw him in the Lewis fight, but what a tough SOB! To bad he got sick and retired.

    Have you ever noticed some of the bigots who hate boxers from the former USSR stop hating them after they lose to a black boxer? Because they no longer feel their racist beliefs are threatened.

    They stopped bashing Jirov after he lost to Toney and stopped ridiculing Hatton after he lost to Mayweather. Nowadays they continually discredit Lomachenko, Kovalev, Beterbiev, etc. They still hate and constantly discredit and ridicule the Klitschkos even though they've both lost to black fighters, because both have had a LOT of wins in world title fights since then. :yep

    If Walters beats Lomachenko, they'll no longer feel insecure and not discredit Loma.

    Similarly, if Kovalev loses to Hopkins, they'll celebrate wildly because that will support their racist beliefs, but afterwards they'll not be so hard on Sergey.

    If Wlad gets KOed by Wilder next year, wait and see: the bigots will do a lot less Klitschko-bashing on these forums.

    I forgot about Pirog. Shame that back injury ruined his career. Pirog-GGG was all set but got cancelled to his injury. What a fight that would have been.
