Here are my top 5
1. Rocky Marciano without a doubt.
2. Harry Greb. Despite no footage perhaps the most fearless fighter ever.
3. Alexis Arguelo. Great fighter and outstanding man.
4. Joe Frazier. Beat Ali the first time and was a non nonsense guy.
5. Carmen Basillio. No fighter had more heart and courage.

Sonny Liston pre Ali fights. The Liston of the late 50's was a real force. Would love to have seen him with a trainer like Dundee or Steward or anyone that was not controlled by the mob. He was never able to escape that.
Others were Joe Louis of course and George Foreman.
Way more than just one
Finito Lopez
Marco Antonio Barerra
Erik Morales
Juan Manuel Marquez
Oscar De La Hoya
Julio Chavez Sr.
Alexis Arguello - I wasn't around for his time, but have tons of fights of his. Amazing fighter.
Naseem Hamed was another, I thought he had an entertaining style oddly enough I found him amusing but hate the likes of Broner & Mayweather
1 Marvin Hagler-didnt get the respect he deserved,got pelted with beer cans when he won the title and wuz robbed by dancing tassles when he lost it.Respect Marvin Hagler
2 Salvadore Sanchez
3 Jimmy Wilde
4 Thomas Hearns
5 Dwight muhammed Qawi
Archie Moore is probably my all time favorite, and the others would be Robinson, Hagler, Bob Foster, Gene Fulmer, and Tony Zale.
My favorite is Michael Katsidis. Personally, he's my goal.
I have and will allways say Rocky Marciano .
