1. Joe Calzaghe
2. Kostya Tszyu
3. Pernell Whitaker
4. Thomas Hearns
5. Sugar Ray Robinson

 

Good idea. 'Four' is the new 'Five' I heard.

My Top 4:

1. Nigel Benn (Pure excitement. A great punch + loads of heart - a decent chin = Thrills-a-minute).

2. Muhammad Ali (Often spoilt by the deification that some fans pour upon him, but remains a great character, if somewhat flawed. Not a bad fighter either).

3. Carlos Monzon (Totally fascinating individual. Ice cool and aloof in the ring, mad as **** out of it).

4. John Conteh (Bags of wasted talent, the ultimata playboy. First credited with the great line: "I blew all my money on sex, drugs and gambling. The rest I wasted).

 

Love that line hahaha, the rest i wasted lmao. Now to more pressing concerns. Cutting your list to 4 means Hopkins misses owt! Can't you expand it to include? I know you were having great trouble picking your 5 and 6 between he and Tommy

 

Hmmmmm........:think If I had to boot one of my top five off "Sal's Favorite Fighter Island" I guess Saad would have to go. Hate to do it, but the other four are stalwarts.

 

1. Benny Leonard
2. Pernell Whitaker
3. Marco Antonio Barrera
4. Barney Ross
5. There is not realy a fith guy that I can say that I would root for or admire at the same level as these four.

Curently I don't know if any of these boxers will ever be a world champion or not but from what I've seen of him I like Alfonso Gomez. I also would to see Dimitri Salita, Yuri Foreman and Roman Greenberg have good carrers

1. Frazier.....the warrior. Ali did him very wrong.

Not a bad foursome tho, jeez.
