Morales vs Barrera I is the reason I love this sport, and that fight forever links Erik and Barrera, just as the Frazier/Ali fights did.

 

Felix Trinidad assuming he's done, followed by Marvin Hagler

 

2nd that,,,and in the further past I will go micky ward,,and further marvin hagler muhammed ALI

 

u should hope he is done...I like tito too but enough is enough

 

I do hope he's done... He has nothing left to prove.

 

Thomas Hearns.

 

hagler and nigel benn and also loved watching herol bomber graham for his amusing hands down by his side style inviting opponents to hit him, great boxer!!!!

 

Look ive got 5 that i will forever miss in this the greatest sport of all.


1. Kostya Tszyu
2. Marvin Hagler
3. Mike Tyson
4. Jeff Fenech
5. Floyd Patterson

 

I think Floyd Patterson doesnt get talked about with the great Heavyweights but watching tpe of him i just get the feeling he would have been great to watch.

Just the pure Heavyweight. I always thought that Floyd is what a true Heavyweight should be. You know athletic build like Joe Louis and Ali.

Not like these monster heavyweight you see today.

I feel Heavyweight should be a limit of 210 pounds.

 

Mark '2 SHARP' Johnson...I wish he would of taken his career more serious when he was in his prime. What a talented mofo

 

Monzon, He is truly amazing to watch in the ring...

my honorable mentions are
Ali, Foreman, Heanrs & Whitaker

 

Top 5 of all time for me...even though I haven't seen many of their fights and have only passed my eyes through print of their many achievements in the ring and outside...I would have to mention the following...in no particular order because its hard


1) Rubin "The Hurricane" Carter...the only fighter in boxing history to have won a historic battle against a fighter with a massive body, advantage, and outlandish advantages THE ****IN LEGAL SYSTEM!...what he had done in transcendance of the sport as well as outside is humbling and something I strive for in my lifetime

2) Joe "The Brown Bomber" Lewis...the first American hero. Representing the American and black community in a historic bout against Max Schmeling and bringing some civil justice to a community that owes great debt to his services in the war as well as the civil rights movement...serious ****in kudos

3) Julio Caeser Chavez...the ONLY mexican legend to have put mexico on the map. The raw aggression and heart of this man defines what it means to be a mexican boxer. Proving time and time again why he was THE BEST! Always delivering epic battles with blood and tears.

4) Felix Tito Trinidad...the man who brought the love of boxing to my life...he was truly my father's favorite fighter, but after his fight with Joppy I watched those fights with my dad and saw his legacy grow into something memorable for the Puerto Rican history books

5) Bob Fitzsimmons...I've only recently been reading on this man...but holy **** man. A true bred boxer. A MW that had the punching power to knockout a 200+lb fighter...that's enough to win me over. On top of his defensive genius and DEVASTATING body punching abilities...jesus...scary ****. The guy MUST BE the must underrated and overlooked boxer in its history. Out of ALLLLL the GOAT of all times lists that I've come across...NOT ONE! mentions this man's name...not one...and its a ****in shame too.
