So my question to you boxing supremos out there would be which 5 - 10 pre 1990 boxers (excluding Ali, Frazier, Marciano, Sugar Ray, Hagler n Hearns) would you recommend anyone look at, just to get a bit of perspective?

Plus I get so lost on here sometimes when these old boxers are mentioned, feel like I'm missing out on a shed load.

Maybe your top 5 fights as well?

Ta very much
Pre 1990 hmmmmm...........

Jorge Paez, a fighter that will make you say WTF? Noone fought like him.
Pretty sure CutMeMick has already posted this vid.

Dwight Muhammad Qawi, always exciting only knew how to come forward and keep throwing

Khaosai Galaxy, sick power for a little guy

Joe Louis, has a special out on HBO now excellent to watch. One of, if not the, greatest heavyweights of all time

Charley Burley, amazing defensive work, not too much footage on him is available.

Jose Ruiz Ramirez was a common thread between a lot of phenomenal fighters.

Thanks very much!... some great vids there, Paez almost seems like Hamed's master, really odd fighting style, definitely a "WTF" moment, very true

And that little guy, Galaxy, geez, how broad were his shoulders?!..mini Tyson or what!
