Its very subjective depending on what you like to see in a fighter...so Honourable mentions to Roberto Duran,Ray leonard,Henry Armstrong,Joe Louis,Mike Tyson,Willie Pep,Rocky Marciano,Gene Tunney,Lennox Lewis,Evandar Holyfield,Tommy Hearns,Marvin Hagler,Floyd Mayweather,Carlos Monzon...
I'm hopeing one day our own Ricky Hatton will join this illustrious group,if he can beat Floyd Mayweather,who himself is already a Great in my opinion..
Johnson took care of a past his prime James J Jeffries very well,but ultimatly threw his title against Jess Willard(tho eyewitnesses say he was knocked out with a terrific right hand)Willard went on to be badly beaten by Jack Dempsey,so you would have to mention those guys aswell..like I said its very subjective,and I could have included another 20 or so honourable mentions if I was wanting to go on and on:D
1.Julio Cesar Chavez
2.Roberto Duran
3.Marvin Haggler They where great to whatch over the year's..
Very tough, do you decide on people who moved up a weight or two or people who were just clinical or.....
I'll go for :
Ali Hearns Duran
Loved Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler when I was growing up - then onto Tyson, Benn, Collins, Hollyfield, Hamed was ace for a bit - then Barrera destroyed him.....that was magic!
Can't wait to see what Amir Khan can do and Hatton is great to watch as well.
Can't let it go without shout outs for Ken Buchanan, Jim Watt (even though his nose is a funny colour of blue) and Scott Harrison :D
Ali was the only one I cared about as a kid growing up, haven't followed boxing closely since he retired.
