I watch some of the boxing shows that HBO airs because I'm too cheap to pay for it on Pay Per View.  You don't have to limit your choice to a certain weight class. Who do you think is the best boxer?

I think Roy Jones was great at his best. Also, I think Rocky Marciano had a great career with 49 wins 0 losses and 43 KO not bad.

MOHAMMED ALI ALL THE WAY BABY. HE STINGS LIKE A BEE.

I'd say Ali was the greatest at heavyweight.  Pound for pound greatest is probably "Sugar" Ray Robinson.  Henry Armstrong and Willie Pep are possible considerations for that title as well.  Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn't even close to being the greatest at any weight class.

lmao don't you think he lost his fight against Oscar de la Hoya?? even his father said it! all he done was hit and block (I mean run) he never attacked

I didn't see the fight but I heard it was closer than Floyd would have liked it to be.  Honestly, I didn't even really care about that fight.  I wanted Oscar to win and thought MAYBE he had a little bit of a shot to do so.  I'd much rather see Floyd in with the best competition he can face.  That's why Floyd will never be as great to knowledgeable fans as he thinks he is.  He fought good competition at 130 and 135 but hasn't really since.  Some of the fights he could take that would be good for his legacy would be Hatton at 140, any one or more of Cotto/Margarito/Cintron at 147, or even Ouma/Mosley at 154.  Mayweather is one of the most gifted fighters I've ever seen and one of the biggest cowards at the same time.  It's got to be fear that keeps him from fighting any of those fighters (maybe not fear of the fight with them but fear that he could lose to one of them).

I think Mike Tyson is the greatest boxer of all time.

The Tyson in the mid to late 80's was arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time as far as talent and skills.  His career as a whole though has been mediocre at best.

greatest boxer ever, well that's easy. It's ROCKY

Balboa?

sugar ray leonard

Jeff Fenech is simply the best ever.
