    :lol: To be honest, i'm not surprised as Geoff is my 73 year old uncle, and in his time by all acounts was a very classy lightweight. When he left the army in the 50s he went working the fairground booths and we have worked it out that over a ten year period he had near on 4,000 3 round contests against all comers (only losing a slack handfull). If you walk into the Catchpenny at Fitzwilliam, and slap £20 on the bar he will still take you out into the carpark and give you 3 rounds, hence my selection as a current fighter :hey (watch his elbows)

    Yes, looked him up myself, but couldn't find him on boxrec; hmmmmm...perplexing it was:think

    icemax, you the man; and although I stipulated that this thread be about current fighters only (as in non-carpark pro boxers), I'll give you a pass on this one since the guy is your uncle.

    If PBF can get in then so can icemax's Uncle; let it be written in stone:good

    Good list BamBam:good

    I really like this one.

    Was toying with the idea of putting Valero in myself; but decided against it since I haven't seen any footage of him since his fight with Mosquera.

    In no particular order.

    Juan Manual Marquez
    Rafa Marquez
    Israel Vasquez
    Arthur Abraham
    Miguel Cotto
    Vic Darchinyan
    Floyd Mayweather
    Mikkel Kessler
    Zab Judah
    Manny Pacquiao
    David Haye
    Kelly Pavlick
    Juan Manuel Lopez

    Not saying my lists the best or that these are all the best fighters but they are all guys I like watching whether its for their sublime skills in the case of Floyd Mayweather or because they just love a good tear up like Darchinyan.

    Edit. Just realised that I have too many on there and the Mayweather possibly doesnt count. :patsch

    I'd also like to add Ricky Burns, Jermain Taylor and Oscar De La Hoya as honourable mentions...Haye may yet get back on the list if he regains some of his old humility and charm.
