TOP 10 Boxers of ALL Time
10. Roberto Duran
9. Manny Pacquiao
8. Floyd Mayweather
7. Julio Cesar Chavez
6. Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield
5. Sugar Ray Leonard
4. Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns
3. Iron Mike Tyson
2. Muhammad Ali
1. Pernell "Sweat Pea" Whitaker
I pick Roberto Duran as number ten on my list because he is known as the boxer with the hands of stone, and can pack a punch. Next on my list, is Manny Pacquiao because he is one of the most exciting fighters in the history of boxing. Coming in at number eight, is Money Mayweather. Floyd is one of the most technically sound boxers of his generation. Following, is Julio Cesar Chavez. In my opinion, he is a living legend. He has fought 115 fights, and won 107 of them. This alone, brings him in at number seven on my list. Evander Holyfield is known for bringing the “real deal” to the ring. Also, I have never seen another boxer with as much heart as him. Sugar Ray Leonard is ranked as number five. He has it all: speed, showmanship, and smarts. Number four is the man known for the straight right hand, Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns. He possesses incredible power which secures his spot on my list. If you like drama, you have to love this next fighter. Iron Mike Tyson became the youngest heavy weight champion of all time at the age 21. This is what lands him at number three on my list. Greatness can be measured through athletic events or through life experiences. Muhammad Ali is great at both. He is a political figure inside and out the ring. In many people’s opinions he is known worldwide as the greatest of all time. Drum roll please! My number one pick of all time greatest boxers is Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker. He is my first pick because he is unmatched in his boxing skills, and with talent to match.
That wraps up my top ten list. If you have any suggestions on other boxers that should have made the list please feel free to comment.
Peace, Sweet Science (SS)

ReplyDeleteI have to ask...Why you did not put Somkin Joe Frazier on this list. He was a true fighter. He was the first to every defeat Muhammad Ali. Frazier fought Ali a total of three times and in their last battle Ali is quoted saying "I’m just happy right now there aint no more Fraziers to fight”. He was a really fighter. He was the Champion for 2 years before being defeated by George Foreman, who later lost to Ali.
ReplyDeleteFrazier’s Record 32-4-1
I also have to ask... “What do you think about Oscar De La Hoyas and Bernard Hopkins?” and “Where would you rank them if you had a top 20?”
i just looked at this and pacquiao/chaves are great fighters but duranis the greatest spanish fighter to ever live
