    May I ask why Chag? I like him, too, but not enough to make my Top Ten.

    I do. That's it really. I followed his career form nearly the beginning, all the way through until the end, never stopped rooting for him. Who knows what makes for favourites really.

    Yeah, I don't love fighters based only upon their prowess, all of my favourite fighters were beaten. Chagaev wasn't in the highest class, and I expected the highest class fighter of the era to defeat him badly. Chagaev never stopped trying during the awful beating.

    I'm not sure Wlad can say that ;)

    ;) Definitely Chagaev was tough. I was watching highlights of the Lucas Browne fight not long ago he did well despite being well past it at that stage.

    This list is not who was the best, many are guys that I watched comin' up. Some I got to throw fists against, in sanctioned bouts or sparring. Except for one name, this guy showed up to our gym and we worked a bit, everybody has one thing in common. Can you name it?
