A break from the norm of top 10's I know. But, who are your favourite top 10's, regardless of how you think they fit P-4-P. Basically, who are the ten favourite fighters you admire in all of boxing, from when the gloved-era began. This is down to what you have watched and read about these pugilists.

Here's mine:

1 Sugar Ray Robinson
2 Sandy Saddler
3 Carlos Zarate
4 Roberto Duran
5 Jack Johnson
6 Joe Louis
7 Ricardo Lopez
8 Ike Williams
9 Henry Armstrong
10 Carlos Monzon

Active, retired or dead; doesn't matter.

Who is your top-10.

Top ten that I ADMIRE?-

1. Robinson
2. Duran
3. Greb
4. Whitaker
5. Ali
6. Burley
7. Pep
8. Tyson
9. Sanchez
10. Louis

That was just a quick list, on any other day Napoles and Gavilan would likely be in there, with Ezzard Charles aswell most likely.

If i was considering a boxer's personality and life-story, i would probably swap my top 2.

Well, I'll be the first to put Ali as my clear favourite then.

I really don't have any other real favourite, but other fighters (in no particualr order) that I really like to watch is:

Hearns
SRR
SRL
Frazier
RJJ
Duran (even though I can't stand him as a person)

I haven't watched Whitaker and Pep enough, but I have a feeling I would like them very much.

#3. Roberto Duran
#4. Alexis Arguello
#5. Erik Morales
#6. Carlos Monzon
#7. Manny Pacquiao
#8. Bernard Hopkins
#9. Thomas Hearns

Chacon, Gatti, Saad Muhammad, Jones, Hagler, Leonard, Robinson, and Toney are a little off.

Same with Emmanuel Augustus, who was one of the fighters that turned me from a casual fan into a hardcore boxing fan.
