My favorite fighter of all-time is Jim Jeffries. Some of you will scratch your heads and others will know who he is, but wonder why. First of all he was a great Heavyweight Champion from the 30's. He may have been the heaviest handed puncher of all-time. he was said to have knocked out bulls. Read up on him, his story is very interesting.

Hearns would have destroyed Tito. Hearns much more powerful than Tito and a much more skilled boxer as was evident when he turned his style against Sugar Ray.
They could fight right now today and that would still capture my interest more than Oscar/Manny.

Man I can't believe I left Tito off my all time favorite list.
I wonder what a Tito - Hearns match would looked like.

5. Antonio Margarito
My Top Favorite
1. Roy Jones Jr
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Manny Pacquiao
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Prince Hammed/ Erik Morales / Mike Tyson / Valero all tied
My most hated
1. Ca - Boring
2. Fl - Elbow Boy
3. Jul Jr - Fights and collects win over no one (chooses his own opponents) fights at less than 10 rds. I bet he will be named best P4P in future cause his record is clean. Wahahahahaha! His fights looks like an exhibition fight! He already has 36 wins 0 looses. If luck comes to him early and defeat a washed up and popular fighter.. He will shoot his way fast at TOP P4P today! Believe me, this might happen!

I Have to disagree with you on the following. I don't think his loss to Glen Johnson takes away from his greatness. Glen Johnson still is a good fighter, just look at the fight he gave Dawson. Meantime, good ol' Tarver got the beating of a lifetime against Dawson.
Roy was one of the best pound for pound all time. You think he would have lost to Glen or Tarver if he had fought them before going to Heavyweight? I highly doubt it. That huge weight fluctuation took a lot out of him, but he would have given em both the business before.
