UK: Never had an all time favorite from the UK. I promise you, its not bias at all. Theres been plenty of UK fighters I've liked, but I can't think of one I was ever a HUGE HUGE fan of. US: Tyson, Jones, Pryor. Mexico: Sanchez, Chavez, Zarate. PR: Benitez, Ortiz, Gomez.
Surely you've had a favourite of the UK fighters, even if they weren't ever one of your actual favourites. Also, I love how you've just listed the top three PR fighters
Naz, I hated him at the time, but 20+ years post-retirement, now I like him. Watson i liked. Since you asked the whole UK, ill include Buchanan. So yeah, Naz, Watson, Buchanan.
UK- Naz, Benn, Lewis US- Leonard, Whitaker, Jones Mexico- Chavez, Sanchez, Olivares Puerto Rico- Trinidad, Rosario, Benitez There’s just so many. But these are the guys I watch the most.
Charlie Magri Chris Eubanks Ricky Hatton Evander Holyfield Marvin Hagler Marcellus Johnson Erik Morales Juan Marquez Lupe Pintor Amanda Serrano Alfredo Escalera Steven Dejesus
UK - Nigel Benn, John Conteh, Ken Buchanan US - Harold Johnson, Pernell Whitaker, Sugar Ray Leonard Mexico - Salvador Sanchez, Carlos Zarate, Ricardo Lopez PR - Wilfredo Gomez, Felix Trinidad, Edwin Rosario
UK: Conteh, Sibson and Johnny Owen. US: Louis, Armstrong and Saad Muhammad. Mexico: Saldivar, Medel and Yaqui Lopez. PR: Ortiz, Benitez and de Jesus.
UK: Frank Bruno, Jason Booth, Clinton Woods. USA: James Toney, Pernell Whitaker, Harold Johnson Mexico: Juan Manuel Marquez, Salvador Sanchez, Erik Morales Puerto Rico: Felix Trinidad, Edwin Rosario, Miguel Cotto.
Forgot about Conteh! Yeah, I might have to remove Watson and say Conteh instead. Conteh was a helluva talent.
Watson was cool. He was a very good solid fighter, but he wasn't the class of talent that Conteh was.
Frank Bruno Nigel Benn Naseem Hamed Evander Holyfield Michael Spinks George Foreman Joey Napoles JCC Sr. Erik Morales Felix Trinidad Carl Ortiz Hector Camacho Sr.
I should edit my list, because its really impossible for me to say who my THIRD favorite American fighter is. Tyson and Roy will forever be my 1 & 2, because I grew up on them. In third place, its hard to say. I'm a really big fan of Pryor, M.Spinks, Qawi, Leonard, Ali, Hagler, Robinson, and Foster. Those guys are in like an 8-way tie for 3rd.
Always been a huge Pryor fan. That's never changed. It's just hard to number any of them past the top 2.
UK Conteh Finnegan Calzaghe I like Graham and Turpin they were just deeply flawed albeit brilliant. USA Ray Robinson- the full package Marciano- revolutionised pro boxing Joe Gans Mexico Saldivar Sal Sanchez Canelo I think JCG did great things and PFP was better but Canelo is a standout Mexican of his era and, whatever else, has transcended the sport. Puerto Rico Tito Wilfredo Gomez Carlos Ortiz....
