Muhammda Ali, Duran, Sugar Leonard, Mike McCallum, Mike Spinks, the list goes on and on. Ali is tops. Ali best ever.

 

Sugar Ray Robinson and Thomas Hearns

 

Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez, the late great Flash Elorde and Kostya Tzsyu

 

Mine would always be Mike Tyson.

 

Pernell Whitaker is my favorite athlete ever

 

Arguello, Sanchez, Duran, Hearns.

 

I agree with you mostly... Barrera could really dig deep when things got tough just as Ali & Morales could & of course his skills were/are brilliant but I think he falls short of Ali & Morales on the other thing I mentioned... 100% entertainment.

MAB had quite a few boring fights by his own choice of fight plan later in his career, Morales had hardly any boring fights in his entire career.

As for Ali, he made up for some of his boring fights by his awesome interviews & antics, never failed to entertain me... definately my favourite boxer of all time, undisputed legend of sports, not just boxing.

my favourite boxer was michael watson...
there was better boxers, more talented...but watson connected with me..he had bags of courage and had a great style to watch...and a good boxing brain..

only time i nearly cried watching a fight was seeing him getting punished by mike mccallum, and he tried till he was nearly dead..he would just not give up..
