    I'd include Olivares and throw him in over Holmes and maybe Chavez and RJJ.

    Gotta throw Mike Spinks onto the list, too. Minimum Top 5 LH all time and a heavyweight champ is nothing to sneeze at.

    Duran or Leonard. Toss a coin.

    Roy Jones at his peak was the best I’ve ever seen lace up a pair of gloves though, the footage of that man in his heyday… he should’ve worse a cape in the ring.

    you have it utterly backwards (no surprise). execute a 180 on your heel and run. flat out. each hour you can open thispage, submit your lat/lon and see if it's ok for you stop running yet.

    see youngun', it's Duran (and his ilk) that decide what is currently masculine and what indicates an unnatural anti-God sexual preference . do take note. carry on.

    Duran was still active the last time I was wrong and even then I'm being harsh on myself because I was half right in that instance

    I agree that a prime Duran was the height of masculinity and the personification of evil with his jet black mane, and even darker eyes, and snarl but I'm afraid no man born from their mother can pull off rocking double earrings at 74 y/o

    Duran and Leonard are clearly the two greatest living boxers. Duran in the top spot.

    Definitely Usyk as far as active boxers are concerned. Inoue and Beterbiev not being too far behind him. Pac should have joined Foremans and Hopkins as a late 40s world champion but the judges had other ideas. Probably Duran as far as retired boxers who are still living goes.
