    who would you say is the boxer that you most enjoy watching?

    I would say it is Mike Tyson followed closely by ray robinson. tyson's rough, aggresive style was pure puglistic beauty. there is nothing in sports that is greater to watch than tyson flattening someone

    Tyson (the perfect offensive D'Amato style)
    SRR (Ali copied him, SRL copied Ali, and RJJ copied SRL)
    Pep (poetry in motion)
    Pea (wizardry at his best)

    Prince Naseem Hamed! 1 punch KO power, absolutely no defence whatsoever, pace, arrogance- every fight ended spectacularly. The Kevin Kelley fight? Come on.

    For technical excellence: Pernell Whitaker
    For all-round brilliance: Roy Jones Jr or Sugar Ray Leonard
    For brute destruction: The young Roberto Duran or Felix Trinidad

    Sweet Pea and I like watching Jose Napoles. Not together, that would be gay.
