    Duran. I've never seen a better all-around fighter than Duran from DeJesus III and Leonard I.

    Whitaker is probably next, folowed by guys like Monzon and Arguello and Ezzard Charles.

    I am becoming very interested in Kid Gavilan as of late as well.

    It's a shame you dislike Barrera. He also had all of those same qualities.

    I would have picked Barrera hand-down, but he is still active so it's between:

    Muhammad Ali - A personal hero of mine. He was an unbelievable fighter and an even greater character.

    Alexis Arguello - Poetry in motion. Best right hand I've ever seen.

    Sugar Ray Leonard - The most complete fighter ever, in my opinion.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler is my all time fav. My favorite historic fighter is Jack Johnson.

    Alexis Arguello. It's unfortunate that many fans think first of Arguello's losses to Pryor when they think of Alexis. Pryor fought a ring weary and shop worn version with over 80 pro fights and 2 divisions above his best weight.. Here's a little clip of a Arguello closer to prime.
