As above, who is your top boxer of all time ?

Mine will always be Muhammad Ali. He had everything - blurred speed, mongoose reactions to dodge punches, supreme stamina, a laser jab and a granite chin. While he was never a Tyson or Foreman KO specialist, he still packed a punch and 37 of his 56 wins were by KO.

Close second for me is Marvin Hagler - the ultimate wrecking machine.

I'm lucky enough to have signed pics of both.
 
I'm going for Liston because nobody else will and his name deserves to be up there

He is certainly one of the best heavyweights of them all. Mean, moody, H bomb puncher and had a Tyson like ability to psychologically beat his opponent before the opening bell.

It's just a shame that his private life was a train wreck and his ties to the mob never let him get to his full potential. We might have seen something else if he did not have so much baggage. It is sad to think he died such tragic circumstances.
