Top 5 favorite boxers and why. Any era , Any weight class..

I have a pretty consistent top 6, actually:

Duran
Whitaker
Pacquiao
Arguello
Hopkins
Izzy Vasquez

 

First your 5 favorite is really your 6 favorite...why not just call it that? or even make it 10?

While you normally cannot debate a favorites list, this proves to be the exception-something are you are becoming quickly.

YOU cannot be a REAL phan of both FRAZIER and ali.....It is comprable to rooting for the Allies and the axis? God and satan, EAGLES and cowboys, Red Sox and Yankees...It cannot be be done, and is not sllowed.....If you really love Frazier you cannot be an Ali fan, a house divided against itself cannot stand!

Unless I'm missing something, this is disrespectful and warrants an apology.

 

As watching boxing goes:

Ali - the master, a genius at work.
Frazier - the joy of combat; the joy of watching a man enjoy his work.
Tyson - the beautiful physics and unbridled rage of the greatest heavyweight fighter I've ever seen.
Holmes - the pride of the heavyweight champion of the world; the triumph of the knowledge of technique.
Julio César Chávez - heart, chin, endurance, brains, technique, all in one pure fighter and champion.

The boxing fan can easily admire both Frazier and Ali; they were pugilistic majesty.

 

You're right! The man has already forgotten more boxing than you and I will ever know! :good
