Just wondering who is your favorite all time boxer. For me it would have to be Mohammed Ali, a true legend, warrior and a person who transformed Boxing.
Probably the same. You'd see and hear the legend of Ali before you ever knew of his ability as a boxer. Ray Leonard, Hagler, Hearns sucked me in. Collins, Benn, watson, eubank, hooked me.
Ali by far! he fought when the heavyweight division was at its strongest and dominated the division, his movement was a joy to watch and most lightweights cant move like him which is a testament to his skill, he had great reflexes lighting hands and a great chin, just look at the way he took Foremans punches and how he got up from that punch Fraizer hit him with, most fighters would have been out cold but he got straight back up and continued to fight. Lets not even get started with his mouth, the way he talked illustrated that he was more than just a boxer and I used to love hearing him talk before a fight just to see what he would say next, truly hes the greatest fighter ever, no fighter has the same Charisma like him.
I was drawn into boxing by the brutal performances of Mike Tyson. He may not have been the best ever, but he was wonderfully entertaining to watch - there was a period of about two years where he was simply untouchable.
I like Rocky Marciano, Nigel Benn for his fight with McLennen (spelling?) that fight was unbelievable. Bad crack after though!
Steve Collins for me becuase he got me into boxing when bashed Eubank twice and then bashed Benn twice. Pity he never fought Calzaghe.
Ali is a legend of course, but i always liked Marvin Hagler, thought he was robbed against Leonard, then called it a day shortly after. Awesome fighter.
