My top 5 favorites:
1. rocky marciano- i suprised u on that one. :P
2. George Foreman
3. Joe Frazier
3. Joe Louis
4. Muhammad Ali
5. prime Mike Tyson
HM: ezzard charles, earnie Shavers
top 5 i disliked:
1. 1990-present Tyson- for letting himself get screwed by king, for firing rooney, for going to jail, for biting evanders ear, for trying to break peoples arm, fo showing no heart, and getting in trouble outside the ring. but just because i loved him in his prime, i always do cheer for him even against evander.
2. riddick bowe- for letting himself get out of shape and then refusing to fight lennox lewis and throwing the belt in the trash. for not training and showing no heart after he won the title. never tried to fight tyson, lewis, or moorer.
3. vitali klitcscko- for whining liek a baby after lewis fight, and quitting late in the title fight vs bryd when well in command cause of a shoulder injury.
these 2 fighters i respect a lot, and rate them high but arnt my favorite fighters:
4. Larry Holmes- his bitching he did after the spinx fight, and comments about marciano. also in his book belittled bowe, tyson, holyfield, and lewis, and george foreman. defintely not a media guy. i respect larry a lot though.
5. Jack Johnson- reason why jack johnson was most hated man of his time was he had his own set of rules, and unlike louis, jhonson didnt care about his image and broke the law constantly. he also disrespected other champs like joe louis and said some mean stuff about louis while louis was champ. also, i liked offensive warrior non stop action fighters. i respect johnson a lot though and he did have balls.
hm: tommy morrison, chris bryd, corbett- for not giving peter jackson a shot at the title.
