    I know I'm going to get lamblasted for this however I'll say it anyway...Jorge Linares. All the guys you mention are awesome and I'd select them no doubt. I wanted to throw a little twist to the list.

    Prime Ali without a doubt. Big man with the agility and reflexes of a cat.

    Roy Jones Jr and Sweet Pea Whitaker for me. Both had skills and talent like PlayStation cheat machines

    You can't name Jones because he has got a glass chin, this is a physical aspect of a fighter, gotta be Ali!

    Oh I see so Nikolai Valuev is a more talented boxer than Roy Jones Jr...

    Agree with both picks. Roy Jones Jr wasn't nicknamed Superman for nothing.

    Sweet Pea had gifts but they were tainted by drug use... I'll take PBF at any weight over PW...
