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.

Tyson vs Bruno 1 was my first boxing match I watch. So 1989 I started watching it but really didn't love it until around 1992 when I saw Holyfield-Bowe 1. You know when the HW division didn't suck.

I think we started around the same time. Douglas was heavyweight champ for a minute. Sweet Pea was there, Carbajal was big out here as a local boy. JCC was riding the gravy train. Foreman hadn't even come out with his grill yet.

Just came back to fulfill my bet with you anyway, I'm off again have a good one fellas.
