Ahaha.. that could be true but I do skim through it...

By doing so, I can get a feel for what type of boxing fan these guys are about...

For I instance, if an individual were to list the likes of mickey ward, mayorga , and that bum jap arakawa as their all time favorites, that makes me think that they are noobies to this sport but if one were into a group of cerebral fighters like myself, it's obvious that they are a purist....

Tyson - favourite fighter ever
Herol Graham - first love
Hearns - scared me
Norris - best combination, punch and speed
Curry - efficient poetry in motion
Benn - power and entertainment
Tito - brutal power
Morales - skill and heart
Chavez - god
Roy Jones - best ever!

Bet you read my list ;)

Ok I new I would add more

Brian Mitchell
Yoko gushiken
Lloyd honeyghan

Trinidad - (always)
Arguello - (classy, explosive)
Leonard - (the best)
Hearns - (did he ever have any decisions?)
Tyson - (sigh... I miss exciting HW's)
Duran - (warmed up to him after awhile)
Corrales - (always exciting to watch)
MAB - (made Naz quit boxing... good enough for me)
Gomez - (killer instinct)
Julian Jackson - (yes... I gravitate toward KO power)

Joel Casamayor
Rafael Marquez
Terry Norris
Jeff Chandler
Ike Quartey
Hozumi Hasegawa
Ricardo Lopez
Donald Curry
Erik Morales
Wilfredo Gomez
Johnny Tapia
