    Give me your definite top 5 fav fighters of all-time. Try to place them in order, thus taking a bit of thinking to accomplish. You can only list 5. Get your thinking caps on guys. Simple thread, just not been done in a while. :good

    I forgot what truly great taste you had.

    Robbi, this is one of those ones where I hit "Submit" and then go "****", but here it is -


    1 - Charley Burley
    2 - Sonny Liston
    3 - Joe Frazier
    4 - Joe Louis
    5 - Juan Manuel Marquez


    It's very, very, very close between my #5 and another active fighter. I mean, flip a coins style. Out of those two, I tend to go with whichever one has a big fight coming up.

    Given that Robbi doesn't post in General much, i'm possibly his #1 fan in that forum...I absolutley love the guy, have done since Pacquiao 1. What a fight that was.
