Favourite boxer?

Postby shaun » Thu May 10, 2012 12:39 pm

Who is your favorite boxer? It can be a boxer still fighting or a boxer from the past. My favorite boxer of all time is Willie 'Will o' the Wisp' Pep, the greatest featherweight in history, in my opinion. Pep had the best footwork I have ever seen in a boxing ring, fluid and elusive.

This is no brainer for me, that will be Manny Pacquiao. An eight world title is almost impossible but he made it look easy.

I know you love Pacquiao and he is a great fighter, one of the best in his generation, but the best in history? Pacquiao's resume is built on wins against Barrera and Morales, both of whom were well past their best. Pacquiao even lost to a shot Morales. Pacquiao wouldn't even be in my top 10 all time pound for pound.

Ouch, you're probably living in a cave for the past 8 years? Barrera and Morales started his quest for fame and greatness, it was a star in the making but for the past 8yrs, Pacquiao defeated all the greats you put in front of him. Dela Hoya almost defeated Mayweather and it was even a controversial win while Pacquiao easily dismantled him and made him retire. Hatton was knocked out in 2 rounds and was knocked down twice in the first round while Mayweather was having hard time and took him so long to end the fight. I don't care what's on your list but for sure those are a bunch of crap.

I would have to say my favorite is Tyson. I really like his style and his strength. That and I grew up playing the Mike Tyson boxing game on Nintendo which really helped solidify him for me.

I also love Mike Tyson's aggressive style, I guess I just love exciting fights because for me, if you're a boxer and is paid huge cash, you should give all you got and try to win the fight in an impressive way.

You don't have to choose between those two great fighters. Just don't choose Mayweather because he is nothing but a coward.

No I haven't been living in a cave and I've watched all of Pacquiao's fights. Morales and Barrera had wars with each other, they were past it, and Morales still beat him. The fact Morales beat Pacquiao when he was shot proves Morales is the superior fighter.
