    Love seeing Ivan Robinson on your list. I met him a couple of times back in the day and he was a cool guy. Really underated fighter.

    Good list never heard of a good few of them must check them out if possible. Stanley "Kitten" Hayward haha, did he paw like a kitten or was it a ploy to lure the opponent into a false sense of security. Like having "Why can't we be friends" or "you've got a friend in me" as your ring entrance.

    It's difficult isn't it? I doubt I loved a fighter, ever, more than I loved Frank Bruno when I was a kid. Now the only Bruno fights I watch are the Tyson butcheries and the Lewis fight. So I could hardly call him a favourite now. I guess i'll go for the guys from my lifetime I like the most right now.

    Roman Gonzalez
    Naoya Inoue
    Michael Watson
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Dmitry Bivol
    Oleksander Usyk
    Erik Morales
    Tyson Fury
    James Toney
    Mike Tyson

    Edit: Took out Esparragoza for Morales.

    Philly is enigma. No-one knows who these people truly are.

    Look him up. Kitten Hayward was an awesome and sadly forgotten fighter. Fought Curtis Cokes.

    I thought Philly was a sentient AI? Like Mark Ant 2.0?

    God's word I was shocked to have not seen Fletcher, Duran or Cuveas.

    Because he was an older fighter. This is the classic forum; the older a fighter, the better he was!
