    These fighters dont have to be the Top 1 P4P but fighters that you think are brilliant on film

    for me Willie Pep is the best boxer i have ever seen

    Loads and loads, if i was naming one that is perhaps not straight away obvious then it would be ruben olivares, in his prime i think he is one of the most complete and talented fighters i've ever seen.

    Robinson i think is the best on film however, duran pushes him very close as does charles, leonard, ali, whitaker and jones IMO

    Pernell Whitaker is the best boxer I have ever seen. Roberto Duran is the best fighter I have ever seen. I also really really rate Sumbu Kalambay from the limited amount of footage I have seen of him.
