Foreman was probably my favorite. Not for his boxing per se, but for who he was... and being a remarkable boxer. Khabib once said something to the effect of "nobody has 2 primes", but George Forman kinda did have two primes. Came back as an old man with a completely reworked defensive strategy and won the belt again.

Honorable mention Nicolino Locche just cause I love that he should have been terrible. A chain smoker who didn't like to cut or train hard, wasn't much a puncher, and was overall offensively mediocre but made a career of being almost comedically unhittable.

Current... maybe Shakur Stevenson. I think that kid is under rated. He does everything very well. Excellent combo puncher, good blend of hand speed and power, minimal telegraphing. He can pour shots through his opponent's guard. Excelent footwork, distance management, and defense.
