Favorite Active Boxers - Survey Results

Man it's crazy how many of my favorites are retired now since making that list. This was such a cool thread. I would be interested in seeing how a 2026 version would look but obviously no pressure if that's not a project you're interested in doing right now. Maybe 5 years isn't enough time for a major change in the list but I think a few things would be different, for example it's funny to look back and see Shakur not being in the top 100 most liked. Wilder at 22 surprised me even back then because of how much he's hated here but I guess being an American heavyweight has its benefits. Josh Taylor in the top 5 is such a bizarre time capsule. Who is the biggest name nowadays that isn't in the top 200 list. Nakatani? Bam?
