Yes after years of backing Ricardo Mayorga and James Toney, my opinion is held in very high regards on here...

Roberto Duran.....late mid to late 70's and early 80's

Larry Holmes destroying guys like Alfredo Evangelista and Gerry Cooney.

Mike Tyson was the unbeatable monster, everywhere in the media. The guys like Hagler Hearns SRL and Duran were at the twilights of their careers. Newer guys like Meldrick Taylor and Terry Norris were coming up, ODLH too. I liked heavyweights more then because you had Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, Tommy Morrison, Razor Ruddock(I actually wanted him to beat Tyson)Holyfield, Moorer , but my favorite was Big George on his comeback. He was knocking people out and it looked like he was in slow motion doing it. Pernell Whitaker was one of the top p4p guys.

From the year where I started understanding boxing more was around 88/89 and that's because of my uncles. The 2 names I remember most and 2 names whom I memorized were Jorge Paez & JCC.

I started watching boxing more and more around 91/92 so I the champs then were;
The Canizales Bros, Eubank, Nunn, 'Hawk' Jackson, Evander, Norris, Pernell, Esparragoza & Villasana to name some...
