    Felix Trinidad
    After unifying the Junior Middleweight Title against Fernando Vargas, in a Classic, goes right up to Middleweight, and Destroys William Joppy. He was really on a legendary run at the time.

    Manny Pacquaio
    He's had about 12 different careers, but in 2009 when he beat Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto Back to Back in such Devastating fashion, it truly explains why we never saw the Super fight with Floyd until 2015. Manny was unbeatable at this stage.

    Evander Holyfield
    Beating Mike Tyson in back to back fights is probably my #1 in my boxing life. I ALWAYS believed Holyfield would beat Mike

    One of the boxers I favor is Evander Holyfield, and the reason is that no one else has fought with so many current, former and future world heavyweight champions.
    Of course there is also his CW career.

    Ali beating Liston x2, Frazier, x2 and doing the impossible in Zaire

    Duran beating arguably the greatest welterweight in history, certainly modern times and pushing the baddest mw evee close over 15 rounds. Not bad for a LW

    Roy Jones had the best prime ever,least in my eyes. How many rounds did he lose?

    Mike Tyson the original baddest man on the planet and the youngest heavyweight champion ever

    Lewis proved to be one of the very best Head to head heavyweights in history and his fights with Holyfield cemented himself as the number 1 guy on the planet

    Floyd beat more world champions than anyone in the sport and left it on his own terms triggering jealous haters all around the globe. His destruction of Corrales was flawless

    Fury beating a super champ away from home and rising in that 12tg round and cementing one of the greatest comebacks in recent memory

    Usyk arguably the GOAT Cruiserweight and has a chance to really cementing himself a legend if he beats Fury. Slapped the overrated bodybuilder silly

    It has to be JMM KO Pacquiao. A great rivalry but judges never gave JMM the decision, was probably going to get robbed again if it went the distance.

    To add to this

    Loma still being able to look supernaturally good against the high level of opposition he's routinely faced/facing, whilst also giving away physical advantages that none of his P4P peers are giving away routinely or often never giving away at all and still being able to sport the best plus minus stats in the game against that level of opposition and despite those physical disadvantages.

    How can one of the sports most aggressive fighters also be one of the sport's best if not the best defensively and be able to blend offence and defence so seamlessly and beautifully?

    It's bloody poetry in motion

    Whilst doing so against the level of opposition he's facing?

    11 world champions in just 18 fights

    Unheard of

    Against a whole host of disparate styles

    Many big punchers

    Many of whom are much bigger than him and punchers who are legit one punch KO artists and the biggest punchers in divisions he doesn't belong in

    Against a slew of the quickest-handed fighters in the game

    GRJ, Linares, Rigo and Lopez

    He utilizes pure skill to avoid shots not holding and running like so many others

    Watch, pay attention, listen and think

    Look at his accuracy rate and how he's able to land almost at will on everyone he fights amateur and pro regardless of their respective styles, size, power?

    1. Muhammad Ali stunning me and pretty much everyone when he rope-a-doped Foreman.
    2. Roberto Duran winning the 154 pound strap from Davey Moore less than a year after Kirkland Laing convinced me that Duran would never win a big fight again.
    3. Manny Pacquiao winning title after title throughout the course of an amazing career.

    Three best....

    Muhammad ali beating frazier, liston and foreman. Especially liston and foreman...that looked nigh on impossible when he faced them.

    George foreman winning the title at 45. Still the best story in boxing to this day. Went out the game in shame...came back years later fat and out of shape. Was laughed at from all corners then goes on to win a world title at 45. Incrrdible.

    3. Mike tyson...youngest heavyweight champion ever....thd way he went through the division with relative ease to boot.

    Though he wasn't quite prime, Holmes' performance against Shavers I was artistic as hell.

    1) George Foreman taking his title back twenty years later.
    2) Sandy Saddler breaking the maestro Willie Pep.
    3) Archie Moore has too many to count. Prevailing over Yvon Durelle is iconic though. A cinematic testament to his mastery.

    I would also mention Primo Carnera avenging his loss to Jack Sharkey and becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, Ken Norton upsetting Ali and giving Larry Holmes what I would call the most hellish fight of his career, and of course Joe Frazier becoming a bona fide lineal champion by beating the Greatest Muhammad Ali.
