    NO back-in-the-day fighters allowed. Only fighters that have fought (in their primes) since you were born or started watching boxing. In other words, although I was born in 1980, I couldn't count Ali, because he was WAY past his prime by the time I was born, despite the fact that he fought twice after I was born.

    1. Mike Tyson
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Naseem Hamed
    4. Roy Jones Jr.
    5. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (believe it or not :lol:)

    I'll pick 5 since I started watching, wouldn't be fair to pick fighters who were around when I didn't care. Not rated in any order, nor are they superb fighters, but I still love to watch them.

    1. Paulie Malignaggi
    2. Junior Witter
    3. Miguel Cotto
    4. Lee McAllister
    5. Lee Haskins
