    Everyone has of course heard of him,,,but he got me into boxing....the ONE AND ONLY Marvelous Marvin Hagler, from Brockton Massachusetts.
    Professional record of 62-3-2. A fantastic, fluid boxer that had a granite chin and could trade with the best of them if he wanted to (see Hearns fight which is typically brought up as one of the best ever). A real nice guy to boot that will sign autos and talk with fans. Had a work ethic second to none and always came ready to fight! Can you tell he's my fav? :D

    Bernard Hopkins

    His win over Tito was what got me into boxing once and for all.

    He was in New York, which is Hopkins' country but Tito's back yard. And after he won he got up on the ropes and started screaming USA! USA! USA!

    it was awesome. Im not even American

    Beau Jack, a two time lightweight champion. Went from the bottom to the top back to the bottom. I think he is starting to get forgotten, so here he is, presented to you.

    So true.

    But I don't expect he'll try for a world title for till about 2014.

    He wants to beat George Foreman's age record.

    Joe Baksi.

    Especially at throwing out time when it's raining.

    He fought Jack Palance y'know.

    'The greatest country in world history?' Just a tad grandiose.

    Anyone say Roy Jones Jr yet?

    Unbelievable in his prime. How many titles did he carry at once while he was the light heavyweight champ? I mean, I know many of them were crap, but damn!
