Tommy Hearns because I am compared to him so often and we're from the same area.

J.C.Chavez IMO the best p4p fighter of all times and also IMO the best in fighter of all times.

George Foreman Just exciting and he's a cool guy as well. Lot's of knockouts.

Joe Louis From the same area as I am, and my opinion the greatest heavyweight of all time.

Mike Tyson IMO, most skilled heavyweight of all time, and IMO, most exciting fighter of all times.

Yes, the glass chin, no doubt would remind people of Hearns.

Ali - the smartest

Hagler - pure fighter

P Whittaker - can't touch this

Duran - so cool

My favorite Fighters:

ROcky Marciano- so underated, so tough and with a warriors mentality. Everyone respects this guy. hes from brockton which is near me. 3rd greatest heavyweight of all time.

Joe Louis - the greatest heeavyweight champ of all time

Oscar De La Hoya- one of my favorite fighters, in his prime he may have ben the best boxer of the 90's.

prime miek tyson- I wish he didnt get messed up in the head, cause i loved seeing this guys old fights on classic boxing. what a knockout machine.

jersey joe walcott- one of the smarteest fighters ever. had one punch KO power.

roy jones- I love the best fighter of the 90's and greatest middleweight of all time

sugar ray robinson- the greatest fighter of all time

roberto duran- he was born to fight. he wanted to kill everybody he entered the ring with.

mudhammad ali- whats not to like

sugar ray leonard- the 2nd greatest welter of all time to robinson. heres a master master boxer and master of phycology.

Max Baer- what a clown

and theirs prob a bunch more that i cant think of but i do respect a lot of great champs.
