Favourite boxer

Who is you’re favourite boxer (past or present)

When I say favourite I mean by his style of fighting.. not his record!

I loved watching a young Mike Tyson.. the head movement.. speed and power, peek a boo style as his former trainer called it.

I loved watching Sugar Ray Leonards fights.

Of the fighters I watched growing up I always liked Joe Calzaghe

Staines

Thomas Hearns. World titles in four divisions. Impressive.

That really was a golden era - Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran.

Duran wasn't good enough to beat Kirkland Laing though!

AJ just because he's hot and I'm shallow

Eubank and Benn growing up. Then watched a bit of the Sugar Rays, but I'd pick...

Joe Louis. Amazing Story, Amazing career. When I finally build my Time Machine I'm going to watch all his fights against reluctant National poster boy Max Schmeling.

Mike Tyson, can you imagine how his opponents must have felt when he stepped into the ring looking like an angry Silverback with a grudge against them! He wasn't a showman, he was a real fighter and incredibly dangerous with it

The best defensive and counter puncher has to be floyd mayweather jr

Cramlington

Start with two of the small guys whose hearts made up for their lack of inches, Mcguigan Senior and Johnny Owen

Always had a soft spot for fighters out of the Brendan Ingle stable - Bomber Graham and his ilk - irritating, confusing but stylish....

Also a soft spot for the flawed but brave generation of boxers of the ilk of Colin Jones and Dave Boy Green...

but when all's said and done, it has to be Ali...

Definitely the best group of fighters ever, bad boy marvellous Marvin Hagler was my favourite, I'll never forget the scenes after he destroyed Alan Minter.

Ferrari Berlinetta boxer is my favourite.

Porsche 911 Turbo from mid 70’s too.

Nowadays a decent Subaru Impreza will do. Boxers do have a unique sound
