    Its a hard thing to do. It can change from week to week because I watch that much boxing and am learning new things about past fighters all the time. My n1 will always be Duran. I've been reading up on Greb and watching a lot of Jose Napoles so I would place them on my list even though I probably wouldn't a month ago. I'm too drunk to make a proper list right now :lol:

    Miguel Cotto
    Bernard Hopkins
    Evander Holyfield
    Thomas Hearns

    Antonio Margarito (yes I know)
    Rafael Marquez
    Brian Viloria
    Micky Ward

    Thats the most current and up to date list ive ever seen by far! Nothing wrong with that! Love to see common Barrera fans putting him up there and you dont have to make an excuse for putting Antonio Margarito in there at all!! You could do alot worse than AM in a top 20! Even a current one.:good

    Yes honestly I'm still young (24) and there are plenty of all time great that I have never watched for the moment, so there are a lot of actual fighters. For example I saw for the first time Moore-Durelle I today. I have a lot of fight to watch before the 90s, I'm working on it.
    Regarding Margarito, I just can't believe such a warrior attempted to cheat. I have watched every available fights of him and I just love him, even though I'm a huge Cotto fan too.

    Well for only being 24 your pretty caught up at least the past 10 to 15 years but you should broaden your herizon a bit!!

    Just a handful of fighters ive just picked up on in the past few years that Ive really enjoyed are guy like

    Nigel Benn..No such thing as a boring Benn fight! Lightning in a bottle!

    Bob Foster..If you stay away from his fights with Ali and Frazier at HW youll find Bob was an animal with arms like whips! very strong and very talented!

    Mike McCallum..You just need to see for yourself! He was a beast

    Edwin Rosario..The guy is just fun to watch..You cant go wrong with any of these guys....

    Thanks for the advices, Mc Callum is in my list he was incredible.
    I 've watched Rosario againt Ramirez I (I thougt Ramirez won) II, Bramble (what a knockout), Haranaka, Camacho (thought he was robbed) and the great Chavez. These are truly great fights. This guy would kill any of the current titleholder.
    I like what I've seen of Benn too but I've watched only a few fights: Eubank I, Barkley, Mc Clellan, Logan...
    For Bob Foster I have a copy of the fight against Tiger, but I've only watched the sick KO for the moment.
