    Nah, it's reasonable, it's not an odd thing to say in my view. But equally there are definitely people on this forum who really love learning about guys for whom there is no footage.

    My picks would vary by the day.

    RETIRED


    Joe Frazier
    Joe Louis
    The Bodysnatcher
    The Motor City Cobra
    RJJ (technically still active :!:)
    Rocky Marciano
    Lennox Lewis
    Evander Holyfield

    NO OR LIMITED FOOTAGE

    Ezzard Charles (as a LHW)
    Charley Burley
    Jack Johnson

    ACTIVE

    Gennady Golovkin: when was the last time a MW - or any boxer for that matter - so consistently hurt, punish and smash his opponents even after stepping up in competition?
    Sergei Kovalev
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Floyd Mayweather
    Alexander Povetkin

    How dare you leave out GGG & Kovalev?

    I've been meaning to see more of Usyk. Only saw one of his pro fights, which was technically skilled, but seemed somewhat lackluster.

    Dear Boxed Ears,

    Let it go, man. Eduardo said I was funnier than you. He said so. Just...let it go. Stop constantly and desperately trying to one up me and go and live your life as you were meant to, not in my shadows. Just let it go.


    Yours truly,
    Super Top Grand Legend of ESB, the cobra

    You call that a retort? You too should settle this like two comedians...have a "funny-off", a "laugh-off", if you will, for the official title of "The Funniest Guy in CHB"...with a championship belt designed for the winner!! Now get with it!!:bananamaniac:woot:banana:clown:hop:clap::rofl
