Over the past 25 years which boxers would you accredit the status of legend?

Mayweather, Jones , Leonard, Hearns, Chavez, Lopez, Whittaker, Galaxy, Tyson, Holyfield, Curry, Hagler, Hatton.

EDIT: Not sure about Curry.

 

Who are yours? I'm sure I've missed a few, Witter is borderline but if I let him in then Camacho, Nelson, McCallum etc have to get in...;O)

 

Floyd Mayweather
Bernard Hopkins
Marco Antonio Barrera
Erik Morales
Joe Calzaghe
Roy Jones Jr
Oscar De La Hoya
James Toney
Lennox Lewis
Ricardo Lopez
Pernell Whitaker
Evander Holyfield
Julio Cesar Chavez
Azumah Nelson
Mike Tyson
Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Thomas Hearns
Marvin Hagler
Jeff Fenech
Khaosai Galaxy
Mike McCallum
Michael Spinks
Wilfredo Gomez
Larry Holmes
Aaron Pryor (H2H at least)
Wilfred Benitez
Hector Camacho

 

Good list!!! Bar Fenech.

 

he might not be everyones cup of tea but if hatton got the poster before you into boxing then thats his opinion and you have got to respect his opinion.

 

Fenech has a lot of solid wins that are hard to ignore though. Zaragoza, Callejas, Zarate (past peak admittedly), 3 weight world champion.

He's on the border though I must say.

 

might i add that he obviously has a high opinion of him to state this in the first place.

 

Callejas (sp?) was his best win. I saw that guy fight and he was a monster, scary left hook. Zarate doesn't count though, he was (to use an overused term) "shot". I suppose its where you draw the line..

 

Well, Hagler beat Mugabi, Duran, Hearns, and got robbed by Leonard in this period.

Hearns had loads of fights in the last 25 years. Including the win over Duran, loss and draw to Leonard, beat Benitez, DeWitt etc if I remember correctly

Leonard, some big fights there.

 

As shot as Tszyu? :think
