your favorite 5 fighters of all time....

[dekker88]

no need for technical comparisons...this is a subjective topic...simply the fighters who've you enjoyed watching more than any others for whatever reasons you choose:

1 - Ali....no explanation required.

2 - Naz....the ulitimate showman...watch some of his fights now and see what boxing is missing.

3 - Nigel Benn....guaranteed to give his all and clearly enjoyed a scrap.

4 - Ricky Hatton...other than Lennox the first English fighter in my lifetime to go to the states and take on the best...ok in the p4p league he lost to pac and pbf....but he also beat Kosta and Castillo who was considered op 10 p4p prior to their fight.

5 - Manny Pacquiao - see no. 3 above.

[ourkid1984]

As it's a British forum, I'll stick with British fighters and only fighters I've seen enough of to judge.

Froch - Always exciting and interesting fights
Calazaghe - One of the fastest punchers at the weight I've ever seen
Hatton - Easy to like, entertaining and not frightened to fight anyone anywhere
Lewis - A great champion and kept getting better, won the British public over and that's hard to do
Benn - Entertaining, better than most people thought and tough as they come.

[junior pepa seed]

Mike Tyson - Always be the Champ to me
Miguel Cotto
Nigel Benn/Michael Watson
Diego Chico corrales
Pacman
