My top 10 Fighters EVER!!!!!

10.Shane Mosley-A warrior and always shows up to fight which was evident this January against Antonio Margarito who was the Bully of the Welterweight Division Mosley handled him with A KO Victory looks like he is negotiating a fight with Andre Berto for December

9.Roberto Duran-The Hands of Stone he was such a devastating puncher and body puncher but was often flustered by Slick Boxers but a legend nonetheless..

8.Joe Frazier-He was not the bad guy that Ali made him out to be he was built up that way by the media (surprise,surprise) he was another Blue Collar fighter with a ton of Heart and fought 3 memorable fights against Ali my favorite of the 3 you guessed it The Thrilla in Manila

7.Mike Tyson-Before you start hating please remember before all the antics and crazy talk he was by far the most devastating KO Puncher ever!!!!!.......EVER

6.Felix Trinidad-When he was in his prime he was as strong as a Light Heavyweight and there was a vulnerability about him that added to his appeal he had been knocked down numerous times and until his loss to B-Hop got up to knockout his opponent in almost every fight

5.Ike "Bazooka" Quartey-Not too much of a mainstream fighter being he was from Ghana but he was feared by most opponents in his division in the 1990's he fought Oscar De La Hoya in 1999 and lost the fight by decision but to many people he was robbed as he pushed the action and even traded knockdowns with America's "Golden Boy" and demanded a rematch on numerous occasions and was shot down every time....

4.Alexis Arguello-Was a true warrior up until his fight with Aaron Pryor which he lost due to controversy (Pryor's Trainer was accused of putting asthma medication in Pryor's water bottle that gave him a boost of energy in late rounds) he never really bounced back after that loss but he was definately something special

3.Arturo "Thunder" Gatti-What can say that everyone does not know the Human Highlight reel a throwback fighter that was the last true Blood and Guts warrior of my Generation he will be missed

2.Julio Cesar Chavez-If you grew up in the late 80's on through the 90's you know this name he went 85-0 before his 1st loss he fought everybody that was in front of him he exposed fighters took there heart and eventually changed there careers with his relentless body punching and constant pressure he was something special and is a true legend that deserves his props.......

1.Sugar Ray Leonard-He had it all power speed style he was hands down the breath of fresh air that Boxing needed after Ali left the sport he was marketed as a pretty boy but proved he was nothing of the sort in his 1st fight with Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran he was unafraid and fought everybody came out of retirement and beat Marvin Hagler he is in my opinion the pound for pound Greatest non heavyweight fighter of all time.....
