    Ali. Handspeed, reflexes, intelligence. He cleaned out the heavyweight division before hitting his peak. He couldn't box for 3.5 years, came back and cleaned out the division again. Simply The Greatest(no disrespect to SRR).

    Roy Jones Jr by miles

    The guy looked unbeatable right up to the age of 35 I just wish he had retired after the Ruiz fight. Or maybe the first Tarver fight

    Just one?..Can't be done my brotha..Love the game too much.

    Here's a few tho'

    Tommy Hearns - when as a 11yr old I saw what he did to Pipino Cuevas I was hooked...not only on The Hitman,but on the game..been at it ever since..Pure fire Tommy was.

    Muhammad Ali - I still say the Ali that took the title from Liston cannot be matched by any other HW before..or since.Pure poetry in motion..Smooth defence,razor speed,beautiful footwork..and of course,the precision lightning offence.The greatest.Nuff said.

    Sugar Ray Robinson - despite not having the most stellar defence,The Sugarman was truly a pugilist of the highest order..Offensively,absolutely the best the ever was.Beautiful to watch..P4P #1 no doubt.

    Jersey Joe Walcott - beautiful,dazzling flashy boxer puncher with moves for days..this old geezer could do it all..absolutely beautful to watch.

    Marco Antonio Barrera - Started out as a slugger..but would turn out to be one of the finest boxer-punchers in recent memory..the heart of a lion..even when technically outgunned...his decimation of Hamed made him one of my lifetime favourites..talk about controlled measured aggression..mos def my man.

    Sugar Ray Leonard - The Mayweather of his day..no offence folks..his start-stop career robbed Ray,and the rest of the boxing world,of one hell of a resume'..But don't let that fool you..Ray was a commplete fighter..with an attitude to match..Sick speed..both hand and foot..could bang with the best of them..a ton of a heart..could do it all..signature blazing combos were legendary..Could do everything Mayweather can do..just better.

    That's it for now.
