Who was the best boxer ?.

[desprateseagull]

I was a big fan of Benn, until Eubank did him over in a brutal fight.

big respect to both for a proper fight, though JC is the man right now. how many fights has he won in a row now?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

19

 

[Frutos]

19

It's actually 42 (with 31 KO's), seeing as the question was "How many fights", not "How many world title fights".

 

[Artois]

Just out of interest, and as we're on the subject, who would people say is the best/their favourite (whichever you prefer) boxer in any weight division, and of any nationality?

My Top 5 would be (in no specific order, and this is more favourite than technically best):

1) 'The Greatest Of All Time' Muhammad Ali
2) 'JC Superstar' Julio Cesar Chavez
3) Arturo ' Thunder' Gatti
4) 'Golden Boy' Oscar De La Hoya
5) Lennox Lewis

1) Muhammed Ali pre vietnam
2) Aaron Pryor
3) Felix Trinidad (not the best but was exciting, Beat De La Hoya )
4) Arturo Gatti (for shear value for Money)
5) Tyson pre Douglas, again not the best but was so exciting.

 

[Frutos]

3) Felix Trinidad (not the best but was exciting, Beat De La Hoya )

We both know what a joke that decision was, almost as bad as the Mosley/DLH one

 

[Trufflehound]

Having given this some consideration I've concluded that the best boxer is a fudge packer.

I think naz would have whipped al those guys, despite being half their size.

 

[hopkins]

1) Muhammed Ali pre vietnam
2) Aaron Pryor
3) Felix Trinidad (not the best but was exciting, Beat De La Hoya )
4) Arturo Gatti (for shear value for Money)
5) Tyson pre Douglas, again not the best but was so exciting.

I like De La Hoya dont get me wrong but he did run for the last few rounds of the Trinidad fight.

Funnily enough i watched the De La Hoya vs Mosely II fight in Argentina so none of us could understand the commentators and by the end of the fight 6 people out of 6 in the hostel we watched it agreed that Mosely had won cos there was nothing to influence our decision, strange how i then came home and people were calling it a robbery !
