    Salvador Sanchez I cannot separate from Robert Duran for favorite fighter ever.

    Current fighters I like a few but can't separate them at all.

    Roy Jones Jr. was born to do this. Physically one of the most naturally gifted in history.

    Today....Crawford/Beterbiev.....

    Future, I like Shakur's work in the ring. He's very methodical

    My current favorite is Bivol

    My all time favorite is Tommy Hearns

    Both incredible to watch boxer punchers with a great jab.

    Ok, so only pick one. No "well it's so difficult to pick just one so here's my list in no particular order" and "honorable metntion"
    and all that ****. Just one each. Love it.

    All time is easy for me : Big George

    Current? This could be a short lived pick, but I like Vergil Ortiz based on his last outing. To me, he now fights like Canelo should fight based on some similar attributes: in their current weight class they are not big, but dense and very strong and with quick hands. Bowling balls except Ortiz fights in a way that takes better advantage of these characteristics. Cuts off the ring mitigating incoming best he can (which ain't bad), gets close and shoots very quick, short, brutal punishment in combination and has a gas tank. Love that style.
