    My dad was my first trainer and had me on steady diet of Ezzard Charles films as young fighter. I'm in my 40's now and still spar occasionally at my local gym and tell younger fighters all the time about how good Charles's footwork and defense was. They guy was so subtle and amazing. A truly complete fighter.

    WTF going on? About 100 fighters have been named so far and no one at all have picked Mike Tyson? Whether you love him or hate him or think he’s the most overrated guy ever, this thread is suppose to be about the most exciting entertainment fighters in the ring so I can’t see how everyone can fail to include him in their lists?

    Anyway my list

    Tommy Hearns
    Julian Jackson
    Mike Tyson
    Manny Pacquiao
    Michael Moorer
    Joe Frazier
    Roy Jones
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    David Tua
    Matthew Saad Muhammad

    I loved watching fat Heavyweight Toney. That shoulder roll and counters.
