If you weren't alive when they fought don't list them. This isn't a best of all time list, just throw down some of your favorites.

Mike Tyson
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones Jr.
Zab Judah

Chico Corrales
Chico Corrales
Chico...just kidding!

Did I mention I like Diego Corrales?

Anyway, my list would be (in no particular order):

Diego Corrales
JM Marquez
Joe Calzaghe
Chad Dawson
Paul Williams

Honorable mention to Marcus Oliveira (because my cousin is in his corner).

And Antonio Margarito might have made my list over Dawson before the "glove" incident.

I knew it wouldn't take long for a Punisher Paul mention. That dude is ridiculous.

He's got skills for sure. And he's a physical freak too - the reach is insane.

I saw him fight fairly early in his career (Luis Hernandez?) and just have followed him ever since.

It's too bad we can't copy his actual reach, his or Liston's, that would be bordering on cheese, lol.

Man, I could easily list 20. Here goes:

Hearns
Ali
Leonard
Tyson
Mancini

I think I'm a bit older than some of you fellas.

Some of you may snicker, but you know who might make my list among current fighters? Michael Katsidis. I LOVE that guy. All heart, all guts.

Take care,
PK
