    Monzón.

    I love the simplicity of what he did in the ring.

    Larry Holmes was my favorite boxer. I tried to mimic his jab in my own boxing career. Also, when he was going for Marciano's record. It was all very exciting to me.

    His handspeed with that left jab was IMO the best I ever saw at any weight.

    Joe Louis.


    Elevated for what he noticeably did right.

    Not appreciated for all the subtle things he didn't do wrong.
