Your TWO favourite fighters of all time...???

Ray Robinson

Roberto Duran

Two contrasting styles, but in relation to boxing I like a bit of everything.

 

Ray Robinson and Lennox Lewis.

As a kid my favourites were Marciano and Benn. Benn is still very close to being in my top two. I was a big Hamed fan but then he became a genuine **** rather than just pantomine.

 

Mine have to be Thomas Hearns and Pernell Whitaker.

 

Very tough, many come to mind, but my first thoughts were Calzaghe + Hamed, so I'll go with that.

 

ricky hatton & arturo gatti

 

Not been a fan long enough to get many old timer fights so easy so I'd say Calzaghe and Lewis.

 

Message to Dunkey McCafferty (even tho he says he wont respond, I know he`ll read it)

My 2 fav boxers of recent times are Morales & Calzaghe.

I think prime JC beats prime Hopkins even easier than their recent fight, reason being that Joe is at his best vs more attacking fighters & B-hop never refined his defence - the defence that caused Joe some probs - to the level it is now until age forced him to do so because he can no longer sustain a frantic pace.
Prime Calzaghe was faster than now with no less power or stamina & Hopkins has become so negative a boxer that he never even went for the kill after flooring JC, he got what he deserved for trying to stop a fight happening rather than make a fight happen... the verdict was correct IMO. Most agree.

As for Scott Harrison, my boy Morales would **** him up prime v prime & it wouldnt be that close a fight.
Nothing against Scott (inside the ring), he was a good fighter but Erik was on another level to him IMHO.

Cheers.

 

Probably the same two as a lot of people my age (29)

Nigel Benn for getting me into boxing and Joe Calzaghe for entertaining me. of course Nas is close!

 

Its nice to see that alot of people picked Erik Morales. He always came to fight and never ducked a challenge, El Terrible is the man. For my second there's loads; Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, Felix Trinidad, Joe Calzaghe, Naseem Hamed and plenty more
