    No offense but Peter is not nearly close to being in the same class as the Pavlik,Cotto and Pacquia - those 3 are P4P Top 10

    All Time....

    Nigel Benn - Most exciting british boxer of my era, never knew what he was going to do next, heart of a lion.

    Mike Tyson - Scary to watch, nevermind fight. Just awesome.

    Naseem Hamed - Not a very likeable person but watching him throughout his career in the nineties was a roller coaster. Hard-hitting was an understatement, great to watch,

    Now....

    Ricky Hatton - Local lad done good.

    Miguel Cotto - Love his whole style and demeanour, one tough kid.

    Joe Calzaghe - Keeps proving the doubters wrong, top 3 british fighters of all time.

    Current.

    1 - Juam Manuel Marquez - Technically beautiful and with a picture perfect jab he also showed the heart of a lion in Pacquioa I and stinging punching in Pacuqioa II. This is the fighter kids should be copying.

    2 - Isreal Vasquez - Probably past his very best now but is responsible in part for the greatest trilogy ever commited to film.

    3 - Rafael Marquez - As above.


    All Time

    1 - Charley Burley - A gentleman, a master boxer, a puncher with a great chin and perhaps the most feircley ducked fighter of all time, Burley has wins from 147-220lbs. A natural WW he was chased from the WW division by a champion whom he had already bested in two non-title bouts and is now regarded as one of the top MW's ever. Never stopped.

    2 - Sonny Liston - Ominous, and in a way that Tyson would have paid for. An ATG composite puncher, freakishly strong my pick as the best jab of all time, he was technically excellent as well as a massive puncher. His back story demands a movie.

    3 - James J Braddock - The Cindereralla Man is the most underated champ of all time in my view. Regardless, he showed the type of frightening hurt that can get a fighter killed against Joe Louis...

    1) Oscar De La Hoya - Comes from a boxing family, his Grandfather and Father were both Profesional Boxers. - Beautiful Boxer to watch perform textbook style.
    - Always works behind the jab.
    - very sharpe accurate puncher.
    - Good attitude towards fights.
    - Very well prepared for upcoming bouts.
    - Cautious fighter as towards having a great defence.
    - Concentrated Fighter.

    2) Jorge Linares - Current Undefeated WBC Featherweight Champion Still very young and not so well known at this point in his carear due to most of his fights took place in Japan, reminds me in so many ways of a young Oscar De La Hoya.

    - Boxer/Puncher style.
    - Puts together 5 to 10 punch combinations.
    - Poses Natural Punching power.
    - Fast hand Speed.
    - Intelligent boxer to adjusting to different styles.
