A tough one, but I’ll go with Roy Jones.

Roy Jones had such an incredible physique 💪

Joe Calzaghe, class act. Undefeated & very much under-rated in my opinion.

Agree 100%

I tend to like watching the speed and aggression of light weight fights so for me it is Oscar De La Hoya. I followed him as an Olympic fighter and on to pro. He is a very handsome and intelligent man as well.

Agreed 🥊 I liked watching guys like that who were more my size.

Maybe too obvious, but I loved Mike Tyson. The way he would enter the ring without a robe, just that towel with a hole cut out for his head. You could see his ripped arms, then the towel came off, and he was just hard powerful muscle. It was all about aggression without any pretense. He was there to destroy and that was it. I loved how the pre-fight training footage showed him just doing lots of pushups and sit-ups and shadowboxing. He didn’t need a fancy gym, and as a wimpy kid in junior high, I took note. I started doing push-ups and sit-ups in my room, and got a real rush out of taking my shirt off to shadow box. Soon enough, I managed to build up enough of a physique that bullies didn’t want to mess with me anymore. So I have Mike Tyson to thank for that. He was a stirring fighter for a young teenage me.

Marvin Hagler (I know he’s more the 80s), Mike Tyson, and Razor Ruddock for sure!
