    The list can be as fond as you are of certain (ten) fighters who were active, not retired or not pre career or post career at the same time (simultaneously) and perhaps you can post WHY you feel like it? And I guess not post humous or in exile or in jail at the time, if that makes any sense whatsoever! Yeah man, just break it down:

    Maybe just ignore the punity/ banishment fighters because there were too many who were great that went down this route: Tyson, Ali, Ike, etc.

    Keep it simple as first glance or break it down methodically, who are your top ten favorite simultaneously active boxers?!

    Also no two fighters start and end at their career at the same time: so keep it in the ballpark. Sorry for the nit picking! I will post my list later because I pale in comparison.
