    All-Time:
    1)Nigel Benn - I just loved watching him fight, he wasnt the greatest 'boxer' ever but he put on a performance every time he fought. So many great memories, I still watch his fights now without getting bored. McClellan, Eubank I, Barkley, DeWitt and Sims are some of my favourites.

    2)Roberto Duran - His early days were a little before my time and many of his later fights I havent watched as I dont like to see a former great struggle against inferior fighters but watching him tear through some of the best boxers of the eighties is always a pleasure. Entertaining and talented in equal measures.

    3)Lennox Lewis - My favourite heavyweight from the nineties. I like Holyfield as well but Lewis just takes it. Lewis didnt always perform how people would have liked but the lack of heavyweight talent has won him many fans who look back at him more fondly now. I liked him at the time though, when he turned up fit and in the right frame of mind he was a tough nights work for any heavyweight in history.

    4)Herol 'Bomber' Graham - Highly underrated, always found a way to lose in world title fights but I saw him give Mike McCallum (another one of my favourites) a real struggle and he was a tough nights work for any super-middle around at that time, which is saying something. Only lacked true power which would have made him the complete fighter.

    5)Arturo Gatti - Its close run between him and Israel Vazquez who won me over in his three fight trilogy with Rafael Marquez but Gatti edges it. I dont think I need to explain why, just go watch his fights. RIP Thunder!

    Surprised i didnt put Finito Lopez addie? Well if i did this list tomorrow id probably put him in or Danny Lopez or about 10 other guys Im pretty solid thought on my first 4. Im just a fan of so many fighters that its hard to get it down to 5. If you look at my profile you will see that i fit as many fighters as i possibly could.
