Your twelve favourite fighters of all time - but read the OP

I've had Saunders on my list for ages

 

Correct.

 

Done a bit of soul searching since, I probably wouldn't have a few of these guys on here now.

 

Bet you'd have loved to see this one then wouldn't ya, Jel?

 

Big appreciator of McGovern myself, not enough to say he's top 12 but I do like him and think he's underrated.

 

If I was a mod, this Mark Ant would be long gone

Why? All he is an eccentric super fan with a lack of social awareness. He happens to rub people up the wrong way with his threads.

Nothing ban worthy there at all.

 

Just looking back, I wouldn't have this list at all now.

I no longer think this. He's 3rd.

 

I believe he's trolling, he simply has to be. He's purposely trying to annoy people

 

No order

1.Tommy hitman Hearns

2.Bernard Hopkins(even tho he can be delusional at times lol)

3.Archie Moore ....

4.Sugar Ray Leonard

5. Roy Jones jr.

6.Marvin Hagler

7. Jack Dempsey

8.Bob Foster

9. Rocky Marciano

10. Jack Johnson.

11. Evander Holyfield .

12.Andre ( SOG ) Ward

 

#1 Ali, personally it's much more important whom you fought and when
you fought them (prime/past prime) factor in obvious talent and he changed and he
changed the world. I didn't see his prime live.
#2 R.Leonard. I saw all his fights live, one of the best in
history as far as talent,athleticism, toughness, and WHO he defeated and When he defeated them.
#3, R.Duran, only saw the last few fights of his career at lightweight. But the rest, including his
defeat of Leonard I saw live. If their is one singular victory in a fighters career that shows
how great he is, its his win over Leonard. Leonard is The 2nd best welter in history in his prime.
#4, A.Arguello One of the very few fighters that can arguably be placed top 1-10
fighters in 3 different weight classes(and when it actually meant something) ,possibly 4th at jr.welterwight. saw a large
portion of his fights live, all his lightweight fights.... The epitome of classy behavior.
#5 T.Hearns The most devastating and dangerous fighter in my lifetime.
# 6W.Benitez an amazing talent, that took 2 of the top 2-5 welters in history
to their limits, an underrated talent.
# 7 A,Pryor , was he ever in a boring fight, another amazing talent that's gets
underrated because of his ties to a cheat. But theirs no proof Pryor benefited because of Lewis.
#8 R.Robinson , I never saw him fight other than on film, past his best at Middleweight
But theirs plenty of film at his best at Middle, and if he was that good at that weight
he must have been on a different planet at his best weight. 2 of the Greatest fighters
say he was the greatest, (Ali,Louis, factor and in the greatest corner men like Futch,Arcel) That's good enough for me.
#9H.Hagler, would've been champ in any era, the Greatest Middle in history.
#10 P.Whitaker Should've been undefeated until Deloyhoya, possible Trinidad,
made some of the best fighters in history look in slow motion.
#11 E.Pedroza He was fun to watch just to see what he got away with
a super talent.
#12 E.Holyfield The ultimate warrior
