Pea
Hagler
JCC
BHop
Arguello
Lennox
M. Spinks
Sanchez
Tiger
Holyfield
Monzon
Benitez
Oscar
Foster
Griffith
JMM
Barrera
Morales





(Only counted those I saw fight live or within a week or so of live, so no SRR, Archie Moore etc.)

 

1983

Don't know if I'll get to 25 but I'll have a go -

My earliest memories is of going to an uncle's house with my dad and watching Tyson and SRL Fights. Leonard wasn't exactly in his prime when I remembered him fighting LaLonde, but being he beat Hagler a year prior, i'll have him sneak in...

Putting them in order will be even harder so I'll probably forgo that requirement too, lol.

1. Leonard
2. Tyson
3. Mayweather
4. Pacquaio
5. Lewis
6. Holyfield
7. Marquez
8. Pacquaio
9. Barrera
10. Duran (For beating Barkley in 88, but like SRL might be a stretch for my time frame)
11. Morales
12. Toney
13. Mike McCallum
14. Kosta Tszyu
15. Trinidad
16. DLH
17. Chavez
18. Whitaker
19. Hopkins
20. Gerald McClellan
21. Mosley
22. Ricardo Lopez
23. Hearns (another sneak in there)
24. Klitschko brother 1
25. Klitschko brother 2

Sure there's a lot of gaps there. Also, if I made this list from the time I really got into boxing around 2000 would obviously look a lot different. The first fight I remember getting pumped up for was Lewis-Tua, and it took off from there.

 

Who cares if he was trolling? What is this, middle school? His top fighters include the phenoms Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, Mayweather and Pacman. Seems good to me. Also he was the only poster who included perhaps the greatest and soon to be longest reigning heavyweight champion of all time Wlad Klitschko. The guy is going to slaughter Fury and maybe behead Wilder wiping out yet another generation of contenders. Those other guys lists are biased, pro American rubbish or Duran sycophants. Duran was often hopelessly out of shape for fights and quit like a scalded dog against Leonard in the second fight. Putting him number 1. Now that seems like trolling.

 

Pacman twice?

 

You didn,t like my list?:|
