Best boxer, Best Fight! - 26 June 2008 20:19
In your opinion:

A) Who is the best boxer of all time?

and

B) What is was the best fight of all time? (And don't say Grandpa Vs Depression! )

best boxer has got to be a 20 yearold Tyson , best to watch, loved the hype and he was a machine


best fight of alltime has got to be Benn v Mclellan , that fight stands head and shoulders above any other ive seen, shame about the outcome though

I keep changing my mind. I like Archie Moor. LEgend. Can't pick a favourite fight though.

Best boxer of all time was indeed a young Mike Tyson- who would have destroyed anyone, yes, even Ali

Best fight for me- Benn Vs Mccelland, although was sad, but brilliant to watch.

Theres no doubt that tyson in his prime was the best of all time, the power and the speed he had was amazing.

I'm a fan of brawlers, so with that in mind, Dempsey and Pryor for me.

Best fight: Dempsey vs. Willard, 1919.

Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard- **** fight IMO. Wasn't much boxing going on. More like a sober guy smashing the **** out of a drunk.

Tyson? Fringe top 10 heavyweight for me.

Ray Robinson, Roy Jones, Cassius Clay, Ray Leonard, Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler all spring to mind.

Ali V Frazier III
Sanchez V Nelson
Leonard V Benitez
Foreman V Lyle
Chavez V Taylor
