I don't know if there are many boxing fans out here but if there is who would be in your top 5 favourite ? Not pound for pound just the fights that you favoured the most.

Eubank.

Any 5 fights he won and didnt lose. I didnt like the fight where he hurt Micheal Watson though due to the outcome.

If I had to pick 5 boxers I would go with (in no order).

Barry Maquigan (sp)

Steve Robinson

Nigel Benn

Chris Eubank

Frank Bruno

That's a very uk line up but I do like most of then especially Benn and eubank.

I don't know if you've been watching the Chris eubank jnr affair but it's put me right off Chris snr he is a proper cock.

I think mine would have to be

Roy jones

Carl froch

Nigel Benn

Joe calzaghe

Autro gatti

Outsiders just because I like their style would be andre ward, Kirkland Laing, Kevin mitchelle, Calum smith, evander Holyfield and Roberto Duran.

Marvin Hagler was my all time favourite followed closely by Roberto Duran. Then in no particular order.

Larry Holmes

Barry McGuigan

Nigel Benn

But Muhammad Ali was , is and always will be the greatest.

Kirkland Laing, what a character and what a story. If anyone's life deserves to be made into a film it's his.

I hardly saw any of the Jnr Eubank stuff, the weeks leading up or the fight itself. I remember seeing a documenty on Eubank and it didn't win me over.

I seperate Eubank the boxer and Eubank the bloke.

Yeah I think you have to try and separate them from the man and the boxer

I recently read Durans biography, what a character!

I love boxing, my grandad was a big fight fan and got me in to it.

Fav fighters:

Hagler, absolute animal and robbed in the Leonard fight

Benn, real warrior. You always knew there would be a knockout, whether him or the opponent.

Tyson, had them beat before he walked in the ring. If only Cus D'Amato had lived longer and Teddy Atlas still trained him. I think he would have become a great.

Calzhage, a real intelligent boxer. Never ducked a challenge.

Ali, my all time sporting hero. His fights in the ring as legendary as the fights outside. I cried when I saw him at the Olympics, so sad how Parkinsons has ravaged him.

Sadly I think I missed all the great eras of boxing. Heavyweights in the 70s and Middle Weights in the 80s.

There was a programme a few years back, where the put Benn and Eubank through a gladitorial training camp. The hatred of each other was apparent even then.

I couldnt stand Eubank, his counter punching style always did my head in. I think the Watson fight changed his style massively.
