    Though he didn’t make my top 5, I’m a BIG fan of Sal also.

    But, I wouldn’t have guessed you were. I suppose some people like to keep their favourites under their hat (or sombrero). :)

    Five is a hard choice. Ali, Moore, and Charles are the top 3 but after that it's a mix of Pep, Armstrong, Foreman, Liston, Hagler, or any boxer who I'm educating myself on at a certain time.

    Today it is:

    Salvador Sanchez
    Bobby Chacon
    Carlos Monzon
    James Toney
    Pernell Whitaker

    With Larry Holmes, Alexis Arguello, Aaron Pryor, Marvin Hagler, Michael Nunn, Mike McCallum, Julian Jackson and Meldrick Taylor hovering under and sometimes being to 5!

    Joe Louis. Muhammad Ali. Lennox Lewis. Wladimir Klitschko. George Foreman. Tomorrow, if you ask me, much of my favorites list may change, but Joe Louis will always be my number one.
