      Hi Poet, good thread and cheers for the Pinklon Thomas link the other day, I'll enjoy some comedy this weekend.

      Nice list, I think I'll just stick to 20 favorites (not necessarily pound for pound greats). No priority of order:

      1) Roy Jones
      2) Ali
      3) Ray Robinson
      4) Ray Leonard
      5) Shane Mosley
      6) Chris Eubank
      7) Nigel Benn
      8) Mike Tyson
      9) Larry Holmes
      10) Ricky Hatton
      11) Gerrald McClellan
      12) Marco Antonio Barrera
      13) Willi Pep
      14) George Foreman
      15) Nazeem Hamed
      16) Bernhard Hopkins
      17) Thomas Hearns
      18) Joe Calzaghe
      19) Joe Louis
      20) Evander Holyfield

      21) (Late addition) Jersey Joe Walcott!!

      I've missed so many!!!!! And I've included a few that I may well want to replace. How could I leave out Bowe, Lewis, Tunney, La Motta, Frazier, Liston, Dempsey, Johnson, Hagler, Duran, Moralles, Mayweather, De la Hoya?............crazy!
