    It’s rare you’ll find a list with Marciano and Dempsey on it together.....


    Those two are always in competition with each other. Same with the fans.

    I'm a big Frazier and Dempsey fan as you know. I dont dislike Rocky his style for some reason just doesn't jive with me like the other 2 Rocky just seems to take his time more while the other 2 fight like they have somewhere else to be. Not a knock or a slight just my perception.

    A similar thread was done a couple of years ago, and McGrain wrote, "All of them." Even though there are boxers that I don't like, I thought that was pretty cool.
