Sorry mate, but when it comes to what sticks in my memory, it isn't the fighters like RJJ and Mayweather, it's the guys who get stuck in and are in cracking fights, rather than the boxers who are very good at hitting and not getting hit. I expect my own share of stick, which is probably fair, but I'm not a purist, and a boxing masterclass is often a little bit boring. In 15 years time I sure as hell won't be talking about RJJ dominating the fighters of his generation, rather I'll be talking about the exciting battles with Hatton, Gatti, and definitely that last fight between JMM and Barrera. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
