    1st of All, there's NO Wrong Answer Here, it's Based PURELY on YOUR OWN Opinion...2nd, it CAN'T B a Guy that U Saw 1 or 2 Fights of on Youtube OR on Tape...It's Gotta B a Guy that U've Seen Fight COUNTLESS Times...3rd, U Can Only Pick 1 Guy (Or Girl, if U're Soooooo INCLINED)...

    So Who's The BEST Fighter YOU'VE Ever Seen Fight???...Not Necessarily your FAVORITE Fighter, but the BEST YOU'VE Ever Seen???...The 1 Guy YOU'D B Hard Pressed to Pick AGAINST, @ his BEST???...

    It's the obvious answer, but nonetheless - Ray Robinson.

    Seems people need to distinguish between 'impressive', which is usually a function of physical gifts and 'best'.

    technically SRR is the best fighter i have ever seen fight. i believe him to be the best fighter of all time and i have seen many of his fights... but i never saw him when he was at his best.

    Probably Jones at his best. Maybe Tyson at his best.

    The other possibilities that come to mind are the Cubans--Savon, Ariel Hernandez, Rigondeaux.

    I just wanna say there should be a distinction between most talented, and best fighter.

    Certainly Roy Jones is the most talented fighter ever, maybe by alot.

    But he lacks the balls/heart to be called the best fighter.

    there is no schtick.

    The best fighter ever, wouldn't spend 5-10 rounds with severely overmatched fighters before taking them out.

    Paz, Kelly, Gonzalez, countless others...were completely overmatched and Roy pot shotted and fought safety first instead of going after his man right away and finishing the show.

    He just lacks the balls to be considered the best fighter.

    Roy Jones and Pernell Whitaker.


    I came up on these guys and though you can mention Robinson and Leonard, since I didn't come up on them, I listed Pernell and Roy.
