    But the West Coast fighters i like arent just because they are from the same area those guys all have special attributes as fighters as to why i like them. I would love Bobby Chacon if he was from Zimbambwe. Same with Vargas,little red Lopez and some of the others.

    I also should have added Shane Mosley and Mando Muniz to that 2nd list.

    Okay, this is going to be tough. Probably will miss someone or feel like the list isn't right. But I'll try. Everything after the first 3 get a little shaky.

    1. Rocky Marciano (Who woulda thunk it!)
    2 A. Muhammad Ali
    2 B. Joe Frazier
    3. Jake LaMotta
    4. Evander Holyfield
    5. Carmen Basilio
    6. George Foreman
    7. Arturo Gatti
    8. Mike Tyson
    9. Willie Pep
    10. Sugar Ray Robinson

    Honorable Mentions: Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran, Archie Moore, Tony DeMarco, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, Miguel Cotto, Nicolino Locche, and Jersey Joe Walcott.

    Hate my list.

    Had to add Locche in a tie with Pastrano...a grievious oversight in not listing one of the most fascinating fighters I've ever seen from the beginning. Another, in a tie with Young (not comparing the two overall) is Pep. Weird list, huh?
