Great call.
I have to go with Arturo Gatti. Guy never had a boring fight. Threw bombs full time, and never backed down.

Speaking of boxing, unlike the PPV last month, really looking forward to Canelo and GGG. I haven't rented a fight in decades, but I might rent that one.

Marvis Frazier
His only two losses were against greats, Holmes and Tyson.
I meet him once and he was a genuinely nice guy and a good son.
He knew when to get out of the game.

Ali is one of my favorites.
Nice technical breakdown of Ali-Forman:

“When two men are fighting, what you’re watching is more a contest of wills than of skills, with the stronger will usually overcoming skill. The skill will prevail only when it is so superior to the other man’s skill that the will is not tested….
At times as you see a fellow get tired in the course of a fight, note that he gets tired when pressure builds up, after he gets hurt or he’s been in some kind of doubtful situation, not being able to control the situation. That’s when he starts getting tired. That’s why when two good fighters get to fight, they’re head to head, so to speak, they won’t give an inch and they’re using all their skills and ability, until maybe about the seventh or eight or ninth round, one fighter start to visibly weaken. It only means he’s reached a point where he no longer can stand the pressure. He’s now become dominated, because when two people fight it’s very much like two armies. They seek to impose their will on one another.” - Cus D'Amato

My uncles told me everyone avoided Pryor. But we might have a Cincinnati bias! I remember some of his fights and he was vicious. Met him at Findlay street gym years ago. My uncle Bob has an autographed pic of him when he met him in a bar.
