Nigel Benn - Exciting, balls to wall fighter to watch. Can change the course of a fight with a single punch. He's a warrior. I grew up on him.

Erik Morales
- Exciting fighter to watch. Unbreakable heart, has a fire in inside, if you hurt him he will fight like he's fighting for his life.

Manny Pacquiao
- Incredibly exciting fighter to watch. Beaten the odds so many times.

Miguel Cotto
- No bull**** very gifted technical fighter with a big heart, has fought everybody, been in trouble but pulled through, been in wars and pulled through. Lost to only a man with concrete fists and the unstoppable P4P best fighter on the planet. UUnfairly underrated, imo. One of the best fighters of the last decade.

Jack Johnson -
(honestly, Reznick's tribute video touched me and i decided to look into him properly. What an inspirational figure, not as an individual, but what he represents socially and politically is of great magnitude

Mohammed Ali -
Re-incarnation of Jack Johnson, bigger and better with alot more freedom of speech and less to fear, he pushed the boundaries so far they shattered into pieces. No weight classes and he is literally the best boxer the human race has ever produced that we have visual evidence of.

Marvin Hagler
- A double hard *******, man enough to not look gay with a moustache and one of the greatest technicians of all time.

Ricardo Lopez
- Easily the most impressive fighter i've ever seen.

Oscar De La Hoya
- Fought absolutely everybody and always either put up a hell of a fight and/or shown great heart. He doesnt lose points for being well mannered and good looking, with me. Loved the fashion in which he destroyed Mayorga.

Joe Frazier/Rocky Marciano
- Cant choose. No bull****, fearless mother ****ers. From the same cloth as Hagler, only with more exciting styles.
