He's also a great boxer and when he leaves I'm afraid boxing will be almost dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaL Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 1. Floyd Mayweather (Perfect technique, a joy to watch the technical wonders he performs every fight and grew up watching him) 2. Naseem Hamed (Exciting, never in a dull fight and grew up watching him) 3. Miguel Cotto (Boxing style much identical to mine, his strongest punch is mine etc and grew up watching him) 4. Lennox Lewis (Good chin and immense power, fun to watch and grew up watching him) 5. RJJ (Fast and had power, always fun to watch and grew up watching him) Honorable mentions: Felix Trinidad (Dude always brought it, had a great chin and exciting) Manny Pacquiao (In the early 2000s till around the Cotto fight he was exciting and always brought it, grew up watching him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimatefightingchamp Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Plenty of boxers on the up' date=' it's obvious you don't follow it or have a clue.[/quote'] But do any of them have the appeal Floyd or Pacquiao have?

Broner Donaire Rios Plenty more on the up and Broner has the same appeal as Floyd, maybe with time he can fill that void and he's far more exciting to watch in terms of knockouts and aggression.

wanderleisilva101 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Gatti will always be my favourite I think he was always in a great fight, would go punch for punch with big hitters and go out on his shield looking for a KO if he was behind he had serious heart shame he died how he did.

classicboxer Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 There are too many to list, not all of them were even champions. Definitely Jerry Quarry, and also Thomas Hearns. I also met Smokin' Joe Frazier at a fight. I was always a fan of Ali when I was young, but grew to respect and like Frazier as time passed.

Gabri1985 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ricky Hatton-from Manchester like me and he even bought me and my mates a round of drinks once, gen a really nice guy. Joe Calzaghe-Will always remember when he destroyed Lacey and pretty much ended the guys career Michael Katsidis-True warrior and always in good fights Lennox Lewis-Best heavyweight to ever come from the uk Sugar Ray Leonard-awesome fighter and had some classic's with two other all time greats.
