| This Sports thread seems to be filled with the normal baseball basketball & football post. Any boxing fans here? Who's your favorite boxer? (all time and current). Greatest fights ever? |

Favorite fighter for the last few years has been Roy Jones Jr.
Best fight I've seen (not counting the 80's Tyson beatings) would be last years Arturo Gatti vs. Mickey Ward 2. Brutal. |

I would really be dating myself if I told you the fights I used to enjoy...no no! AFTER Joe Louis!
I like to catch the occasional ones on ESPN. But not ready to put up the ante to watch the De La Hoya PPV coming up. |

All time great? I have to give the edge to Joe Louis. Louis was is my Dads favorite figher, so I've seen plenty of video of him fighting Shmelling(sp?) Baer, Walcott, ect... I've never seen a combination of speed and power... ever...
I really liked Ali. I think he was a close second.
Roy Jones is also "up there"
Best fight? How about "the thrilla in Manila" |

| Greatest boxer is a toss up between Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson (and maybe Joe Louis). |
|

| But my fav boxer is Sugar Ray Leonard. |
