fWlad say ALI & Schmeling fav fighters. He also likes Tyson and hearns as well

 

I think Wladimir's favourite is Max Schmeling

 

I remember him telling a story about Schmelling giving him advicce wish i could find it again

 

true.

wlad always tell me the story about when he and Vitali were rising starts, Max said "if you want to be true champions, you must fight in the U.S. also"

Max was very good to the brothers and the brothers to Max

Cool...I remember the first Peter fight as the start of the Wladimir Klitschko takeover of the division. Underdog against the feared puncher, gets up after a few knockdowns, answers questions about his heart/grit, then goes on to barely lose rounds during his reign. Reason I asked when you began working with him was because of your McCline mention...I wondered if you worked with Wladimir when he fought Jameel, but I do remember hearing something about those two sparring for the Wach fight now that I think about it.

Im confident that very few people have actually read any of the other lists but rather have skipped to the final page to post their own thinking "everyone will be so impressed"

Nonetheless in no particular order:

Arturo Gatti
Carl Froch
Juan Manuel Marquez
Miguel Cotto
Sergio Martinez
Naseem Hamed
Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather Jr
Ricky Hatton
Lucas Konecny(my girlfriends pick, only czech boxer ever it seems)

I know a very modern list but its harder to make an emotional connection with fighters you have only seen videos of years after the event.

 

Frazier
Ali
Foreman
Tyson
Wlad
Vitali
Mosley
Froch
JMM
Mayweather

plus Cotto, Hatton, Brook, Eubank, De La Hoya and many others. I can't pick 10, I like most of them equally.

 

Johnny Tapia
Michael Carbjal
Felix Trinidad
James Toney
Juan Manuel Marquez
Jorge Paez
Bobby Chacon
Antonio Diaz
Roberto Duran
Alexis Argello
