Not that old but almost. I remember the Cicero Race riots and the Seiche (tidal wave) that hit Lake Michigan and all the great Chicago fighters of the late 40's and 50's. And the gtra hot dogs and pizza. Bob Satterfield was my favorite back then. Later, Bobby Chacon out of LA became my favorite along with Danny Lopez...and then Saad Mohhamed. All had the same knack for getting off the cnavas to ko thier opponent. Like Gatti did recently.

Micky Ward was my favorite before anyone even heard about him which brings me to why I despise Merchant, He dissed Micky on the DLH -Whittaker undercard, called him a "coward" as he was having an off night against an undefeated Mexican Alfonzo Gosalez...until Micky ice him with a shot to the liver. It shut up Merchant, but I will never, ever forgive him for that. He did not bother to research Micky and came out looking like the senile lazy scumball he is.
