Favorite fighter (boxer or mma) of all time

So, ran across something that made me think about this and reminded me of my favorite fighter to ever watch.
IMO he is the most talented fighter to ever compete. Blazing speed and elusiveness that embarrass even Floyd Mayweather jr. Ridiculous power for his size. Power that broke ribs and caused a seizure in a one punch KO.
49-0 titleholder as a middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight,
And heavyweight (technically he had one DQ for hitting an opponent he knocked down late in a fight he had won). He rarely lost a round and had zero fights he was in danger of losing 49 fights in. Until a rapid weight loss of 25 lbs, 11 the day before the fight to move down from heavyweight he was basically untouchable. He won that fight too against a great fighter to go to 50-0 not counting the DQ, but was never the same after the ridiculous weight cut.
Dude was never technical. At all. He never had to be. He was simple the most gifted fighter of all time.
Can't be touched.

Two favorites for me are Roy Jones Jr. and BJ Penn. The reason is because they would fight anyone. RJ could've stayed down in weight and never lost. Instead he chose to move up and fight in 4-5 different weight classes? Penn had my favorite philosophy on the subject of weight classes. Basically said if you were in a bar and someone punched you, no one is going to ask how much they weigh. I respect their willingness to fight any and all, even if it means taking a loss. Much more so than someone that sits back and nit picks/chooses who he fights/where he fights/when he fights.

Roy Jones will always be one of my favorites.
Lomachenko is climbing up that list though too.
For those who don’t think Roy Jones Jr was one of the greatest pound for pound.....
Y’all must have forgot

Pernell Sweet Pea Whitaker...if he did not get screwed by the judges in the Chavez fight, he would be looked on more fondly. Still to me the greatest defensive boxers of all time. Yes, I am including Moneey
Larry Holmes - his biggest problem was that he followed Ali. The left hand jab was one of the most devasting jackhammers in boxing history. The Easton Assassin in his prime I would still put money would be the best boxer from 1960 on in HW.
And HM to Michael Carbajal. That man was always fun to watch. His fights against the Humberto Gonzalez were some of the best fights in the 90s.

I liked Roy as well but he sort of came a little later for me. I was a kid during Tyson’s heyday and I loved him. My grandpa loved boxing and we would watch on USA. My family would get together for all the big PPVs. When Tyson was gone I grew to love Evander H. since I remembered seeing him either on USA or on an undercard. Those fights with Bowe was bigger than the super bowl for my family.

Anderson Silva and in shape, giving a shite BJ Penn

Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfield are my favorites.
Maybe not the best ever, but each was tough as nails and highly skilled. They were both afraid of no one.

Mike Tyson in his prime. I was actually watching some his old fights on YouTube recently.

I like watching Sonny Liston hit people in the head.
