gnasher16 29,954 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) boxing has had many greats sugar ray robinson joe lousis archie moor sonny liston floyd patterson joe frazier george forman robeto duran marvin hagler ray leonard henry mask hecta camacho orlando canaizarles julio cezar chavez sot chitalarda john conteh don curry oscar del la hoya khaosai galaxy victor galindez wilfredo gomez humberto gonzalez marvin hagler evander holyfield roy jones sung kill moon ruben olivares jorge paez eusebio pedroza marlon starling james tony wilfredo vazquez pernell whitaker BUT THE GREATEST CASIUS CLAY AKA MOHAMAD ALI Some list that sir.....may i ask,is this merely some of your own favorites or what you consider to be " greats " ? Do you really consider Hector Camacho a great ?? my old pal Boza Edwards had him on the back foot and running for his life for 11 of the 12 rounds in Miami in the mid ,s....and still lost the decision ...very overated fighter Camacho in my opinion. Don Curry ?....if he had the balls to match his talent he could have been a great,but believed his own hype and realised just how hard the game is when he met Honeyghan....and after. Marlon Starling,John Conteh,Galindez,Paez .......cant argue with your last choice though...." the greatest ". Edited March 5, 2011 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
