MY FAVORITE FIGHTERS, ALL TIME & CURRENT!!

[@edharrisisbald]

I got into boxing because I got a boxing encyclopedia for christmas. I grew up reading about it more than watching it, I think that´s why I enjoy fights most when I´m invested in the character aura, or narrative of a fighter. All time: Azumah Nelson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Roy Jones, Nigel Benn, Ezzard Charles, Wilfredo Benitez, Larry Holmes, Sergio Martinez. Current: Thurman, Eubank Jr, Groves, Andy Lee, Golovkin, Rigondeaux, Fury, Stevenson, Wilder Ward, and I´m ashamed to admit... David Haye. Irish: (I know no one asked but fuck it) 1: Wayne McCullogh 2 Dave Boy McCauley 3: Andy Lee 4: Steve Collins 5: Carl Frampton

You're right about Loma and Usyk being trained by the same guy, its Anatoly Lomachenko, Vasyl's father. He trained alot of the Amateur fighters too.

[@erelpc]

Definitely agree with you on Canelo. Great to watch, even though few people would agree with that outside of Mexico and America.

[@dUbLeA92]

Hitman Hearns. Glad u called it Hatman. Explosive puncher, put them together well. Great jab could box but loved to 'fight' impose his will. maybe a top 10 all time 1-2 you could even put his jab up there. It wasnt the right hand alone Hearms knew how to 'deliver'. An ATG in my opinion.

[@ericgeorge5483]

Boxing is very speculative, but in my opinion I like this list. Thank you for a good upload.

[@Saturous355]

[@mareksmezalis5960]

What about Sugar Nikolai Valuev?

[@fsabouni]

mareks mezalis lool

[@andya5597]

[@VicFlange]

[@Infern0121]

How can izu ugnobu be anyone's favorite fighter he's never had a real fight

[@jayboxingmma5918]

yeah very good list im the same love a brutal explosive fighter but sometimes I love seeing someone with a fantastic skill set in the ring and shutdown guys with slick cute fighting but if some people are not into that then that's cool

[@mlegend5741]

I like watching superb boxers tbh or Tyson or all out scraps and Arturo gattis fights were cool

[@joereece6865]

Great choices btw, I agree to the fullest

[@rgg.x1]

Mine are james toney, floyd patterson, canelo, joe louis, ali, lennox lewis, Tyson, and sugar ray robinson

[@johnmarks2165]

3 great British fighters i loved watching, kirkland laing, herol graham, john conteh. Heres 3 punchers that have to rate highly, david tua, gerry cooney, earnie shavers. Favorite fighter of all time, tommy hearns. Favorite current fightes, golofkin, frampton, de gale.

[@jayboxingmma5918]

Jesus Christ Kirkland laing was so underated in his day cuz at times he looked poor but at times he was great like when he beat Duran defiantly a good fighter sad to see he ended up on the streets homeless also Alan minter aswell

[@johnmarks2165]

jay boxing mma the man was a party animal and that's the reason he didn't fully fulfil his potential. But God alive he was good on his day and well capable of beating or giving anyone hell.

[@jayboxingmma5918]

+John Marks yeah man Some fighters see the money and get into the drink an drugs to much everyones human and have there issues but yeah in his day the guy could go with anyone fighting guys like Duran when he was seen as European level and managed to get the upset think it was the upset of the year but Kirkland great fighter and hes from Nottingham like me so ive heard many good things about him as a fighter

[@mlegend5741]

My fav current fighters in no order or level of favoritism there's Chris Eubank jr, Amir khan, billy joe Saunders, Andre ward, Bernard Hopkins, Marcos maidana, Tyson fury, Deontay wilder, Miguel cotto, George groves now all time in no order Mike Tyson, Chris Eubank, naseem hamed, Floyd mayweather, Arturo gatti , Roy jones jnr, Carl froch, I can't remember anyone else right now lol

[@tombody5029]

I agree with what you said about Eubank jr he throws a ridiculous amount of punches in bursts, hes not scared to have a tear up and get hit.

[@protectorategeneral]

Both puncher and dancer are enjoyable to watch. Explosive fighters like hearns and tyson .Technical extraordinary fighters like Ali sugar ray Robinson Roy Jones Holmes ibeabuchi Holyfield .some swarming machines like joe Frazier and David tua.

[@harambe1596]

James Toney, Roy Jones, Vasyl Lomachenko, Pernell Whitaker and Sergio Martinez are all very good defensive fighters with a good offensive set. They were spectacular and winning while not getting hit, which to me, as a boxing coach is the best you can achieve. I also like technicians like Andre Ward, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather, Marlon Starling, Guillermo Rigondeau

[@johnwalters5410]

Ali, Duran, Mayweather, Tyson, Naz, Leonard, Lewis(sometimes), Benn, Whitaker, Canelo. I don’t know, so many good ones to choose from!

[@domashnevjuri]

Great overview! What do You think of Golota and Szpilka?

[@Jojack269]

What are your favourite British boxers you should do a video on that

[@VicFlange]

Hatman, can you please do this vid again, but from a British perspective? Thanks....

[@devonsinclair6994]

Mike Tyson,Roy Jones Jr,James Toney,Bernard Hopkins,Vitali Klitschko,Roberto Duran, Juan Manuel Marquez. Today: Keith Thurman, Vasyl Lomachenko,Andre Ward,Joshua, Wilder, Kell Brook, Nicholas Walters, Errol Spence Jr, Tim Bradley,Usyk,Luis Ortiz

[@tadhgodalmighty]

Current favourite boxers : Lomachenko, Kovalev, Roman Gonzalez, Linares, Golovkin, Matthysee, Frampton and Jamie Conlan.Past favourites : Roy Jones Jr, Prince Naseem, Ricky Hatton, James Toney, Holyfield, Gatti, Ward, Whitaker, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Barrera, Morales, Nigel Benn, McClellan, Froch

[@ehowie]

My all time favourite is Naz, I used to look forward to his fights more than anyone else's then probably Hatton, exciting fighter and his fights were always big occasions. Don't think I have a current favourite, I'm a fan of most fighters but there's none around today I'd call my favourite.

[@champchampchannel8182]

Agree. I also like khan. His hand speed is too much and also the fact that he can get ktfo at any moment😂

[@stevegreen9460]

My farate fighters of all time would be Rocky Balboa, Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago, Spider Reco, Union Cane.

[@screwyou180]

no tommy the Machine GUNN?!!!! you embarass yourself sir! :P

[@cpb1998]

Tommy Gunn was a George Washington Duke hype job. I would put Mac Lee Green right there as an honourable mention. He could have been a huge threat to Apollo Creed, too bad he had a cracked metacarple in his left hand.

[@evoste]

Great vid Hatman, agree on everything, I'm 42 I think you are a similar age, so remember the older school stuff, I like your ramblig, I think we would have a good chat over a beer on boxing, respect.

[@orineboyd6346]

evoste I think he's around my age mid 50s, from some of the things he's mentioned. I could be wrong.

[@George-xo6is]

I remember a video from about a year ago where he said he was in his mid to late 30's.

[@198746779838]

hey hatman... any classic fights you would recommend watching for the casual fans. not really talking about the big names but some of the not so big names that were just brutal fights start to finish..

[@champchampchannel8182]

[@198746779838]

[@jayboxingmma5918]

+Tadhg O'Donovan looks like Pernell whittaker with the defensive skills

[@jayboxingmma5918]

+Tadhg O'Donovan people think cuz his records 20-4 hes no good but nowadays people think if u havent gotta 0 ur no good but not the case many great fighters have early carrear losses especially the Mexican or south American or Asian legends shit pacquaio lost 3 fights before he started getting a buzz

greastest punchers slug feast of all time ? for me Forman v Lyle ! amazing slug out that was.

[@nightonthetiles6923]

steve green great fight.. But gatti v Rodriguez was better not to mention gatti v ward

[@KamuiFuma81]

Corrie Sanders is a great mention. Dont think Klitschko would ever win against him no matter how often they fought.

[@jessicahillyard7287]

KamuiFuma81 well viltali beat the brains out of him

[@xRaPiiDxViiaGrAx]

currently ggg kovalev Crawford Frampton and canelo very generic I know and all time pac, hatton, froch, calzagee

[@mcdonaldchump8191]

Come on man! I can't believe you left Golovkin off your list!!?? How is he not brutal enough???

[@ferrysplekje]

Anthony joshua, he has his body so under control.Even with the withdrawal of his arm after giving a punch.This i have never seen before.And in the old days, Goerge Foreman for his personality and his cross sefens and it does not sit doewn between rounds.Much better for the big boxer, but no one does it.Bout i could also anjoy the smallest boxer, Baby jake matlala.

[@linkage645]

hatman did you rate joe calzaghe

[@boxingmonthly]

Kind of
