    Roberto Duran at lightweight, tight defensive skills and savage punching

    Gene Fullmer
    Smokin' Joe Frazier

    I have alot of respect for guys who take shots and get in there and make the fight. It may not be the smartest way to go about boxing, but I dig it, those three are true warriors.

    Oh yeah, I dig Winky too, he is a great defensive technician and has a suprisingly powerful jab that many wouldnt expect by the way he holds his hands.

    There are many, but off the top of my head:

    SRR - so skillful and always fought exciting fights

    Cotto - over his last few fights he has shown multiple deminsions to his game that I didnt know he had.

    Tyson - in his prime, he done things at heavywieght that his size limitations shouldnt have allowed.

    And last but not least, the boxer that IMO embodies what a boxer should be

    Prime Holyfield - He was just a straight up warrior, thats all you can say about him

    Miguel Cotto: For his relentless yet technical pressure. Roy Jones JR- For his supernatural ability. Eric Morales- For his ability to hit straight back once tagged.
