One favourite is tough to pick. I'll go with three.
First and foremost, the Gracie Hunter himself: Kazushi Sakuraba.

Second, I'll have to name Quinton "Rampage" Jackson:

And finally (for now)... ah hell, I can't pick one over the other: Georges St. Pierre (Carrying) and Matt Hughes (Carried). For the record, this is after Hughes beat GSP via armbar in the first round of their match.

Ventura was a helluva third baseman.

And whats even more amazing is the White Sox have Joe Crede who may be even better than him, as far as fielding the postion is concerned.

I believe it goes "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, you can't hit what you can't see, rumble young man rumble". I simply loved his trash talk and the way he predicted the number of rounds before a fights.

On the same note, another great boxer - the undefeated Rocky Marciano:
