Legends of Boxing

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali is widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. Known for his speed, footwork, and charisma, he revolutionized the sport with his unorthodox style — "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Beyond boxing, he became a global icon for civil rights and humanitarian causes.

1942–2016

Manny Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight different weight divisions, rising from 106 pounds to 154. From fighting for rice money in the Philippines to becoming a senator and global icon, his southpaw speed and relentless aggression made him boxing's most exciting fighter of a generation.

Sugar Ray Robinson

Sugar Ray Robinson is the fighter who inspired the "pound-for-pound" concept — because no single weight class could contain his greatness. With 173 wins (109 KOs) and five middleweight titles, he set the standard that every boxer since has been measured against.

1921–1989

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at 20, terrorizing the division with explosive speed and devastating knockout power. Trained by the legendary Cus D'Amato in the peek-a-boo style, his prime remains one of the most feared stretches in combat sports history.
