    This is bloody difficult. and there is an abundance of british fighters and heavies.
    in no particular order:
    David Haye
    Carl Froch
    Nigel Benn
    Lennox Lewis
    Marvin Hagler
    Mike Tyson
    Vitali Klitschko
    Nathan Cleverly
    Frank Bruno (almost always his fights ended in ko)
    Oscar De La Hoya (i thought he beat PBF)
    Thomas Hearns
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Joe Frazier

    i can only name 13 and of those only about 6 are truly favourites

    Mine is pretty much the same, even after the badass two months weve had, although pac has moved up a bit.

    i want to learn more about arguello, i think he could become a favorite of mine if i get a bit more exposure to him... the only stuff i had ever seen was following his death what hbo played, but seemed like a complete warrior inside the ring, and a deep man outside of it.

    Alexis represents everything that's good about the fight game for me. Nobody was more textbook than Alexis inside the ring. Have a look at his technique, every shot he throws is almost perfectly straight, and with precision and power. He'd systematically beat up his opponents in the ring, and then give them a hug afterward. Nobody has a bad word to say about Arguello because he was as pure a character as Boxing has ever produced. Watch his fights with Boza Edwards, Ray Mancini, and Aaron Pryor. All on youtube, all wonderful to watch, most notably the last two.

    Plus, check this man out. What a fighter.
