    Another champion from the STL. Had forgot all about Pee Wee.

    Good call. :good

    I would also add:

    Iran Barkley
    Mark 'Too Sharp' Johnson (could make it to the HOF, though)
    Oba Carr
    Kassim Ouma

    and some of my old ESPN favorites:

    Stevie 'Super Kid' Cruz
    Harold Petty

    Not a fan of any below but respect them and just wanted to add more:

    Luis Collazo: criminally underated and is slick and a good win for anyone not to mention he's only been dominated once by Shane, a HOF fighter.

    Juan LaPorte: I've only seen his fights with Salvador Sanchez & JCC but boy was that guy tough.

    Riddick Bowe: He made the 90's exciting during the time of Tyson's jail time and even made his past it performances in the Golota fights entertaining. If one fighter could be in a fight with a riot it was Bowe.

    Most of all my favorites are non HOF...

    Fernando Vargas
    Micky Ward
    Ricardo Mayorga

    would probably be my top 3 favorites of non HOF, actually they would be almost my top 3 favorite fighters of all time regardless of restrictions lol.

    From todays era

    Edison Miranda
    Andrade
    Collazo

    are others that spring to mind

    I have a question because i simply dont know enough about their careers...

    Are Nigel Benn and Eubank HOF calibre? They were before my time but ive tried to get all i can from interviews and video of them, two of my favorites as well.... not sure how good they were in comparison to their classes and time though. (not that it matters to me, i will like them regardless) but are they HOF calibre?

    Wayne challenged his daughter, Wynona Leigh, to run a mile in less than 10 minutes. When she did that his consolation prize was to perform Single Ladies by Beyonce - heels and all!

    Wayne has no rhythm, can't dance and should stick to boxing! LOL LOL LOL

    No copyright infringement is intended." He's either a really great father or...the opposite of that.
