Re: Your top 5?
it issssssnnnnnnnnnntThat is just English and Manchester bias.
anyway, SRL for instance was obviously a very good fighter and entertaining and all that but as far as i remember i never watched him fight as it happened
how can you have a fighter in your top 5 who youve never experienced in an as-it-happens situation?
theres the excitement of the build up and anticipation and all that, ring walk not know what to expect, personalities, knowing his record inside out, whos he gonna fight next, wheres he gonna end up
going back watching fights isnt the same
i can see SRL was unbeaten until a certain point but thats all i know, i dont know anything about the journeymen he fought or when he stepped up
really all i know about SRL is his big fights and ive gone back watching them knowing the result

No he means Leonard. We missed out on the peak years when he was welterweight.
The comeback against hagler was manufactured.

Oh right. Too young to appreciate Leonard-Duran/Hearns 1 but I can remember being excited - and the build up - for the fights from the mid eighties. I can remember the ITV/BBC midweek sports shows and whatnot hyping them.
I think I still have VHS tape's of Duran-Leonard etc that you could buy back then.

Re: Your top 5?
i am about 40 and i kind of remember the fights happening but i didnt really watch them, the only boxing i watched was british boxing in the 80s
I reckon i started branching out when tyson came along
i could well have tyson in my top 5

Tyson came along when the fab four were still fighting.
Remember Tyson's fights being on ITV on Sat/Sun mornings/afternoon. I was sitting in a snooker club, eating a steak and kidney pie, when I saw Tyson iron out Larry Holmes.
