The Rock puts the yummy in my tummy. How exactly did he only rate #3?

Djimon is very sexy, but my pick would have been Idris. As Denzel ages he gets more attractive to me. Will over Idris? Don't think so. Blair is sexy. And, the Rock's ability to make me sweat is well documented. The rest are whatev.

I just realized who is missing from this list. How could they! I am broken hearted. Can you guess??? ;-)

I only have eyes for #3. The funny thing is he is actually the only person on that list that I would turn my head to catch a second glance (well, in his case more than a glance).

Can 7-10 be retired? They've been on the list since I was in middle school.

He was probably tied w/ Shemar, but when called for comment they couldn't find a translator so they just went with Shemar.

Well, it's beautiful list, not sexy list.

Denzel is attractive in your friend's dad sort of way. His daughter daughter is a sophomore where I just finished grad school. Too old.

Djimon deserves his #1 status.

As far as the rest go, they do nothing for me besides "The Rock". I think Denzel is an attractive man, but he has always been way overrated in the looks dept. The same goes for Blair "bland" Underwood.

I dont think anyone can argue against Djimon after seeing that picture. I love Boris Kodjoe. I always thought he was too pretty until I saw him face to face and literally couldnt speak.
Denzel gets credit for his continually hotness over the years. In his 50's or not I'd take him

Will Smith is not sexy to me at all. Goofy voice and a goofy face.

I'd trade Will for Henry Simmons, Lenny Kravitz & Michael Ealy.

ok but does anybody object to deleting Taye? I don't understand his continued popularity and even from the very beginning didn't understand the hoopla over his looks (and no, I'm not just hating b/c he's with a white lady, haha).

gossipjunkie,

I do not object to removing Taye.

On a better note…
That darn Idris is too fine for me to handle. Djimon looks like he was sculpted out of ivory and oil or some shit. No one's physique should look that wonderful.

Idris does not do it for me. He looks like one of my cousins who tried to french me when I was 6. I cried. The Rock is sexier to me now that he's single but Boris is sexier to me now that he's married. I did not appreciate his beauty until that heifa stole him. Every time I see her smug face, I want to throw the remote at the TV.

Neenee, I'll second your list and add LL. With that said, Shemar is undeniably handsome, he's just not attractive/sexy…so I guess it depends what the list is going for.

How can you have a most beautiful black man alive list without MORRIS CHESTNUT????? That is simply unheard of!

No. 48 · In L.A.

Yeah, I agree with your #1 choice (Kimora definitely traded up to a man!). Denzel is handsome (Not beautiful). Morris Chestnut is a cutey (Would rather see him as #10 - I am not a Shemar Moore fan - bad teeth). Will Smith is maybe cute in a goofy way, but not beautiful (Move Blair Underwood in his place). Speaking of candy like heads (BMD), LL's head looks like a nice chocolate M&M to me (It's very round). The Rock would be better looking with a bald head - he looks like a tan muscled Rob Schneider (eeew!). Boris is HOT (And so is his big brother!). We need to see these men in prominent roles on the small screen (No comedy shows, but action or hero type roles).

okay, ya'll are trippin' me out dissin' Taye Diggs. I never got him. At. All.

And "can 7-10 be retired. They've been on the list since I was in middle school." Help me.

Djimon is absolutely stunning. I was mad at Janet for putting Antonio Sabatao's grill in my face. He was cute, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to see more of the brother.Stunning.

Gary Dourdain definitely should be on this list, and Boris needs to be #2. Will Smith? LL? Let's put Donnie Simpson up there.
