I grew up watching Louis, Marciano Archie Moore, Patterson, Liston, SRR, Ali/Clay and many others. There hasn't been a year that's gone by in the last 40, that I haven't watched most of the best fights going on at the time.
I'm not saying i'm any kind of expert, still just a fan, but I do believe I qualify as "hardcore".
That is a damn good line up of fighters there.
