Who is your favourite boxer?

[cosimo]

As distinct from who you think was the best - who do you like the best, past or present, however irrational?

I'm not enough of a boxing expert to really contribute, but i'm interested in others' opinions...

[Goodnight, Irene]

Absolutely just one? George Foreman.

[Goodnight, Irene]

George Foreman? ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz


Nigel Benn.

He's a bum, next to Foreman :)

[Goodnight, Irene]

Foreman was no McClellan. It's Goodnight, Irene once he puts you through those ropes, boy. Just ask Senor Roman 8)

If he had to knock out some pansy French ref to get to Benn, he'd do it, too.

I will give you that Benn had a better Boxing nickname than Foreman...that's about it D

Even if you don't know much, you must know who you like...?

[Robinson]

Larry Holmes is my all time favourite.

I have a distinguished group that keep
him company in my heart of awesome
boxers, though.

I bet he doesn't get along with any of them

Thomas Hearns

mike tyson, ever

pacquio, current

[The Great John L]

It's probably hard to pick just one, but here are a few:

Buster Drayton
Art Hafey
Vinnie Curto
Manning Galloway
Ronnie Harris

[Crease]

Rocky Marciano followed closely by Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton.

[raylawpc]

light-heavyweight contender Kelly Burden (Brian Kelly) - introduced me to my loving (and lovely) wife of 35 years, and best man at my wedding. I guess that would make him my favorite.

My favorite fighter to watch would be Joe Frazier or Ruben Olivaries.

[Roars Like Me]

I can't go for just 1

Don Curry
Erik Morales
Marvin Hagler

[Deno1986]

Stevie Collins

[Seamus]

Here's what I said in 05

Sugar Ray Leonard
Muhammad Ali
Barry McGuigan
Salvador Sanchez
Stanley Ketchel
Packey McFarland
Jimmy McLarnin

Pernell Whitaker
Eder Jofre

The Dangermen Fighters, guys who you knew could put people away in the blink of an eye:

Mike Tyson
Nigel Benn
Marvin Hagler
Rocky Marciano
James Toney
Manny Pacquio
Chris Eubank

The Dancers with good movement and offence:

Michael Nunn
Herol Graham
Naseem Hamed

I have yet to see a Carlos Monzon or Aaron Pryor fight, but; plan to do so once I trace a suitable supplier.

[m1kee50]

Since we are supposed to be naming only one...

James Toney

[Jaywheel]

Davey Hilton jr.
Could have watched him fight all day around 1985.

[Syntax Error]

I usually cite Matthew Saad Muhammad as my favourite fighter, but I am partial to a bit of Willie Pep, Azumah Nelson & Thomas Hearns!!!

[yancey]

Smokin' Joe Frazier......one of the purest warriors ever.

[Mr E]

The guys I cheered hardest for when I watched them live were Carlos Palomino, Danny Little Red Lopez, and Miracle Matthew (Franklin) Saad Muhammad.
