There has been a trend of picking four names who best represent a sport

There has been a trend of picking four names who best represent a sport – and Bellew listed Roy Jones Jr, Ricardo Lopez, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.

It means no room for unbeaten Mayweather and KO king Tyson but SunSport break down what makes Bellew’s picks so special.

Roy Jones Jr

The American is considered of of the best talents to ever grace the ring, blessed with speed, power and sensational reactions.

He was four-weight champion, winning belts from middleweight all the way up to HEAVYWEIGHT.

But Jones has continued fighting well into his prime, as recently as 2023 aged 54.

Ricardo Lopez

The Mexican also had an undefeated 52-bout career but a 1998 draw with Rosendo Alvarez denied Lopez an unblemished record.

He held two world titles and boxed as low as seven-and-a-half STONE.

Lopez had 38 KOs and retired in 2001 and remains one of the most celebrated fighters in Mexican boxing history.

Muhammad Ali

Known as ‘The Greatest’ due to his iconic career in the ring and for the work he did outside of it.

Ali reigned as three-time champ and fought George Foreman and Joe Frazier in two of the most famous fights of all time.

The sporting great sadly passed away in 2016 aged 74 as the most beloved boxer of all time.
