I'm gonna list some names and if you have ANYTHING (Tho I hope it's positive things as this thread to try and glorify fighters who we might not get to praise on a regular basis) to say about them or a fight that you saw or something you read or and would like to share it I would really appreciate it. I just want to know what other posters here think about certain fighters. Since we we almost always talk about Ali, Tyson, ODLH, Lewis etc. etc. etc.

So heres some names and if you want to comment on just 1 or 3 or all of them then do as you please. Theirs no right or wrong answer here this is just for us to mention fighters who would on the norm not get a mention in our everyday discussions.

Can i add to the list i loved to watch Khoasai Galaxy he was super fly and built like a welter weight , had massive power and was a merciless walk in slugger, he made 20 defences of his WBA title . lost 1 fighton points before he won the title but reversed it with a ko.
Also a guy who i loved to watch was James Buddy McGirt this guy was wonderful to watch prior to his arm injury.
Even after he could no longer throw the left hook he still pushed great SWEETPEA close.
Dick Tiger was a top fighter also and he was subjected to one of the most classic 1 punch KO'S , by Bob Foster.
We could go on and on as this is a good subject but my 2 fav forgoten fighters are Khoasai Galaxy and Buddy McGirt.
