List your all-time 10 favorite fighters

[Panamaniac]

List (and rank, if you're so inclined) your top 10 favorite fighters of all time. These aren't necessarily those who are considered to be the greatest of all-time by popular opinion, just your personal favorites.

I realize that ranking them can be chore, so just list them if it's easier for you. Some of you have already listed them in your signature, if that's so, just refer to them with the minimum amount of characters required for a post.

Mine are (ranked):

1. Roberto Durán
2. Mike Tyson
3. Muhammad Ali
4. Joe Louis
5. Ray Robinson
6. Julio César Chavez (Sr.)
7. Larry Holmes
8. Alexis Arguello
9. Aaron Pryor
10. Rid**** Bowe/Oscar De La Hoya (hopelessly deadlocked)

[Sugar Adam Ali]

1. holyfield
2. chavez
3. SRL
4. mayorga
5. james toney
6. roy jones
7. tyson
8. oscar
9. hatton
10. hopkins/morales

2 Julio Cesar Chavez
3 Manny Pacquiao
4 Ken Buchanan
5 Nigel Benn
6 Joe Calzaghe
7 Carlos Monzon
8 Sugar Ray Robinson
9 Marvin Hagler
10 Joe Frazier

Almost impossible to do these lists, i'd struggle with a top 10 favourite per decade nevermind all time.

Favorites. But in no real order:

1) Jersey Joe Walcott

2) Larry Holmes

3) Muhammad Ali

4) Mike Tyson

5) Sugar Ray Robinson

10) Jack Dempsey / Floyd Patterson (sorry can't split!)
