    Yeah, I came in to write Nigel Benn, too.

    Manny Pacquiao would be second I guess.

    yeah Benn & Tyson, Hearns n Ray Leonard. always like Haugan and Carbajal.

    but eventually I saw SRR, Zale n Cerdan, Joe Louis, JJW, Marciano & Moore and so many, many more clips from the 20s to the 60s that I began to realise boxing predated living colour!!!

    Canzoneri, also love frazier. Gans always intrigues me and I always love watching how ahead of his time he seemed. MAB, and Martinez also are up there, so many to choose from.

    Tyson. Nobody close for me.

    One fighter I've gotten into as I've watched old fights is Yaqui Lopez. Dude was in some wars!
