    Joe Gans or Joe Louis imo.

    Henry Armstrong is other one I like.

    But I dont think we should jugde people on race, Armstrong got number 2 or 3, (Robinson and Greb a WHITE fighter) base on what he did pound for pound and not relly for being black.

    Nationality is O.K.

    Race is iffy ...

    However I remember a major boxing magazine in the 80's list best fighters of all time and broke down black and white ..

    My favorite fighter is white because I'm a racist. :lol: :hat

    But to answer the thread. Joe Frazier and Ali as they are both my #2 favorite fighter. Most of my favorite fighters are black and Italian. I guess I'm my preferences are discriminatory to other races/nationalities. I think it's just a case of liking that particular style/personality.
