When you first started watching boxing who were the champions ?
I've been watching boxing since about 1999/2000. A lot has changed since then, but some fighters are still around. Best I can remember these were the champions back then:
Lightweight: Stevie Johnson/Jose Luis Castillo ?
Welterweight: Oscar De La Hoya/Tito Trinidad
Middleweight: Bernard Hopkins/William Joppy
Light Heavyweight: Roy Jones Jr.
Heavyweight: Evander Holyfield/ Lennox Lewis
For the sake of memory, as I was only 12 back then, I stuck with just the major weight classes of boxing.

The first fight I remember watching was when Steve Collins beat Chris Eubank in 95, to win the Super Middleweight title.
I was ten.

From the year where I started understanding boxing more was around 88/89 and that's because of my uncles. The 2 names I remember most and 2 names whom I memorized were Jorge Paez & JCC.
I started watching boxing more and more around 91/92 so I the champs then were;
The Canizales Bros, Eubank, Nunn, 'Hawk' Jackson, Evander, Norris, Pernell, Esparragoza & Villasana to name some...
