Back at ya ;)

I think you'd be hardpressed to find two more celebrated fighters over the past three decade than SRL and ODH. Maybe not the most talented(all though some would argue otherwise)but as far as big fights and notoriety and talent they are hard to match.

And it is because of the celebrity we miss out on just how great Hagler and Hearns were. But ODLH is his own bright shiny star.....

They all failed to live up to there potential

I submit Ray Leonard.

michael spinks at light heavy evander at cruiserweight

80's Mike would never be out of any list of mine, RJJ is my pick hi sheer talent and ability makes him my #1. Sure he never faced all the big names but one Big James Toney who was a pound for pound monster then. MAB should also be here as at times when I watch him, he looks like the best fighter to ever grace the ring.
