    Who are your top 6 favourite fighters of all time??

    Not necessarily the best but fighters you prefer style wise etc.

    My top 6 favourite in no particular order are:

    Joe Louis
    Roberto Duran
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Alexis Arguello
    Erik Morales
    Felix Trinidad

    loved all of the above....its hard to pick fighters like SRR etc. when there isn't much video of them in their prime

    !



    definitely agree with mayweather, gamboa and JMM......great to watch

    donaire v gamboa would be a great fight if gamboa stays at FW for long enough so donaire moves up again

    Not really definitive but off the top of my head.

    Duran (favourite boxer by a distance, even the stories of his life further the legend)
    Roy Jones Jr (great to watch)
    Mayweather (technically amazing)
    Manny Pacquiao (been in some of the most tense and interesting fights)
    Ali (No need to comment really)
    Tyson (Animal like, as interesting in the ring as he was out...great character for boxing)
