Who are the Greatest boxers you ever saw in your time???

awww,that explains the way you post on here!

 

lennox lewis,steve collins (honestly i just thought he was an absolute warrior,great to watch),naseem hamed primed (the attitude,the swagger,the aggression),today it has to be joe calzaghe.

i appreciate great tactical boxing but i love to see come forward aggression and high output and people like pbf or bhop simply dont fill this void for me.

 

This is easy;

Roy Jones Jr.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
I also witnessed the tail end of "prime" Tyson, and slightly past it Sweet Pea.

 

good post, but i do think Mayweathers power is vastly underrated.

 

Roy Jones Jr is far and away superior to Floyd... Not even questionable.

 

I don't think any fighter in history beats Roy head 2 head. The guy was freaking jesus with boxing gloves on. The way he dominated his opposition, the things he could do in the ring were simply unheard of. He was extremely intelligent in the ring also, and in his prime probably the closest thing i will ever see to an unbeatable fighter.

 

correct.. most of the fights i've watched he was really impressive.. i've never seen a fighter with such great reflexes... he doesn't need to dodge whenever someone's coming at him and he knew where the punches were coming from.. that's god-given talent..

 

Watched Prime Tyson with my grandad when I was very small. Also some amateur competition with my stepdad.

Overall though the one that really stood out is the one who stood out for everyone in the early 90s. RJJ.

After that it's really become a letdown. Too many guys with alot of potential throwing it away. Similar to myself infact. Although Evander Holyfield gave all of us many inspirational moments through the 90s.

 

Roy Jones the first couple times I saw him was vs Montell Griffin and Virgil Hill I was like holy **** this guy is nasty and he continued to amaze me agianst John Ruiz,Reggie Johnson and even now at 39 hes still rather impressive.

Saw Shane Mosley at Lightweight vs a good Jesse James Leija and thought he was a Lightweight Tyson he was kinda terrifying down there and at Welterweight vs Oscar in the 1st fight I was convinced hed end his career as a top 10 ATG still a Hall of Famer but my first few times watching him I was in awe.

 

I would have to say Sweet Pea, and Roy. Followed by Chavez, Hopkins, and Mayweather.
