My favourite 5 Mike Tyson Larry Holmes Marvin Hagler RJJ Kirkland Laing Honourable mentions to… Tommy Hearns, Herol Graham, Willie Pep, Jack Dempsey and Chris Eubank Senior who just missed out on my fave five.
If you want to know the favorites of the average forum member then there's the results of the survey that @Rumsfeld did. Overall it's a pretty good list if you ignore that Tatsuyoshi isn't on it Jokes aside this is a fantastic video for what you're looking for. Without spoiling too much I thought the contrast on how #1 and #2 got their points was interesting. #2 got their points by being on the most lists while #1 got their points by having the most first place votes.
Mine are close. Arguello, Napoles, Lopez, Chavez, Toney. Little Red Lopez is the only hero that I will ever have in my life but he is not one of my favorite fighters to watch anymore.
Mine changes from time to time (often just by watching someone I haven’t seen in a while and remembering how much I like them), but today, right now, I’d say (in no particular order): Larry Holmes James Scott Roberto Duran Bobby Chacon Sandy Saddler
