    I'd probably go with watching Whitaker, Ali, Duran.

    i am surprised that nobody has mentioned oscar. when in form he was beautiful to watch. his left hand was perhaps the best left ever

    even though ali was the greatest character this game has ever had, i only really enjoyed watching the frazier fights. there was nothing outstanding (from a boxing entertainment point) for me against othr opponents.

    i know that he did some great showboating and had awesome speed for a man of his size. I just didn't find him that entertaining a boxer. I have to say he was much more entertainig than the current heavyweight king

    it may be because i wasn't old enough to remember the magic of Ali. it was probably different for people of that time

    i bet that there will be a lot of replys to this thread about the greatest

    I liked Ali because of how clumsy and slow he always made his oppontant look. The speed and agility he had for a heavyweight is what makes me watch him.

    Recently I've been watching a lot of Eder Jofre that man could do it all.

    Oscar was beautiful to watch when he was in form, as you stated. But often he would be so tense he appeared robotic and this tired him out down the stretch. But in the lighter weights and in the upper when he was on top of his game he was great to watch, almost a mix between Arguello and Leonard.

    Ray Leonard for me.
    The way he fought off the ropes was incredible.
    Incredible footwork, ring generalship, with ko power.
    Showmanship and blinding speed. Could throw a left hook from the outside as a leading punch to close distance as in first Duran fight. I see that very rarely. Jones Jr. is the only other that comes to mind.

    As an offensive machine, Joe Louis. Beautiful puncher, perfect leverage, great combo's, snake-like quick and devastating power.

    James Toney, Jersey Joe Walcott, Jose Napoles, Cristian Mijares (a bit of a stretch, but I believe when his career his done, he'll be a junior bantamweight/bantamweight legend).

    Julio Cesar Chavez, when in top form, is a sight to behold. A real threshing machine.
