    Its always fun to see what everyone else is up to, who they are watching right now etc., so list them 1-10, your favourite fighters of all time.

    But...

    Keep it to ten.

    NO honourable mentions...NO ties for tenth (or any other) place. Just your ten favourite fighters ever. Feel free to say why or whatever, but no sneaking in extra names. Its as easy to name 20 as 10 and 30 as 20, but see if you can keep it just to a hallowed ten....


    01 - Joe Louis
    02 - Charley Burley
    03 - Billy Conn
    04 - Walter McGowan
    05 - Roman Gonzalez
    06 - Elbows McFadden
    07 - Billy Miske
    08 - Edwin Rosario
    09 - Floyd Mayweather
    10 - David Price

    :lol: I love that he's the only one you feel you have to explain - I bet nobody else has him on their list though. It's cool that you have a home-made champ to celebrate though, I have to make do with a countryman (McGowan).

    Probably could have written it for you...maybe I wouldn't have got Ramos or Louis.

    :yep

    Yeah, I suppose I don't vary much........I do go through periods where I watch a lot of Napoles and Olivares and Pedroza, but I had to keep it to ten, so..........
