5. Alexis Arguello.

Changes quite often but 1 and 2 are the same always.

 

1. Carlos Monzon (always will be, i'm the definition of his nuthugger. Valdez II fight is my favourite fight of all time.)
2. Nigel Benn (Garnered my attention for the sport, e-x-c-i-t-e-m-e-n-t)
3. Alexis Arguello (He made me a believer in the lighter weights when I was just getting into boxing, before then I ignorantly never payed much attention to the littler fellas. I have the poster of him slumped on the corner stool tache and all in my room, class)
4. Ken Buchanan (Of course I have to include the wee fella, Scotlands greatest fighter(cough cough sorry Benny Lynch:think ) - got cheated out of a win by that dirty ******* who goes by the name of Duran or something :yep :blurp )
5. David Haye - Strange choice some may think, but I have not been this excited about a fighter in my time since Hamed. Just his persona and what he brings to the table means I am a huge fan, and have been since I first caught one of his fights in '03, way before anyone jumped on his bandwagon. My, I even believe I was in contact with him on myspace before it became bombarded with muchas totty.

 

Unfortunately for Haye, he isn't acomplete fighter and therefore will never dominate the Heavyweight division.

 

Maybe so., you are entitled to your opinion. But I will stick to my guns by saying he will be the #1 Heavyweight. I have refused to get into slanging matches in the general over him, i'll just sit patiently for a few years to see if I am right. If i'm not, so what, he'll still be up there and still the same boxer I think is ****ing great.

 

He's great. No chin though. and you MUST have a chin at Heavyweight else there'll never be consistancy.

 

Please don't get me started on the 'no chin' bull****. In fact, i'm leaving now, i'm not going to take up space in McGrains thread by arguing with you.
