If somebody asks you what your 3 all time favorite boxers are, what would you answer? Only 3 names please, I know this is hard because we all have many favorite fighters, just think of the 3 fighters you "love" the most.
My all time favorite top 3 boxers are:
Kostya Tszyu
Gene Tunney
Arturo Gatti
You are killing me keeping it to three boxers so I have decided to pick only fighters that there is a fair bit of film of . It's still ridiculously hard though
