It is funny to see how people from most countries pick their best from a variety of countries, whereas many americans tend to pick the best from .. well... America.

Ummm, you serious?

This is a favorite fighter list. Not a best fighter list.

Someone that made a list could write 5 bums with a combined record of 3-218-7 and it would be fine.....no matter WHERE the fighters were from.

Plus, we are talking an alltime list here. Foreign born fighters werent as big on the boxing scene in say the 20s, 30s, 40s, etc....as they are today. And limited exposure in the decades after that.

On top of that, I have seen Americans with Chavez, Sanchez, Cotto, etc. ALL OVER THESE LISTS!!! Or should we count the PR and Mexican fighters as Americans, just because they are in the same general area? Or do you even know the difference.

The anti-american sentiment with so many of these posters is making me sick lately. Now an american isnt allowed to have a top all time favorite list with american fighters in it.....yet noone says anything about non-american fighters having non-american fighters that have fought for only a few years on theirs...WHICH ALSO DOESNT MATTER BECUASE ITS THEIR FAVORITE LIST!!! It doesnt make a difference who is on it, where they are from, how many fights they had or if they are any good.

The funny thing I am noticing is, the nationalistic sentiment on here comes so much stronger from non-american posters....Id say they are 100x worse than their US counterparts....yet you dont hear amercan posters saying this in EVERY DAMN POST!

Grow the fuck up people.

Salvador Sanchez- Everything a fighter should be; smooth, quick, well-conditioned, cool under fire, confident.

Bobby Chacon- The King of Excitement.

Marvin Hagler - Just exudes the essence of a fighter.

Mando Ramos - Sort of in the same mold as Chacon, though not the kind of signature wins Bobby had.

Alexis Arguello- Proof that one doesn't need a lot of thug behavior to be a fighter.

[Smith]

Bobby Chacon- The King of Excitement.


Nice pick:good

Im not sure how people like Marvin Hagler to be honest hes always scared me he is the true defention of badass with his sick training and the attitude he had that he backed up every dam time he would tell you he was going to kick your ass and do it everytime just as bad as he says he would. Now everytime I see a dude named Marvin I think well I wont fuck with him thats for sure.

...............I guess that's part of what I liked. He was my first boxing hero, and I actually got to meet him once, when he was still champ back in '86.

You could put him in an Armani suit, have him carry around a briefcase, and dump him off on Wall Street in a huge limo and you'd still think he was a fighter. :lol: He was simply born to do that, and I appreciate that purity of spirit.

Sanchez is over rated. We all know the TRUE pound for pound king is Barney Ross. And should be on EVEY's number 1 favor fighter.
