After that fight I thought Roberto the Ram was invincible. 1978 to 1981 is my intro. Saad Muhammad, Dwight Qawi, Marvin Johnson, Mustafa Muhammad were all big back then. Love that era. Watch boxing for free. Wide World of Sports.
    Those were the days when boxing was free, there will not be as many young fans watching now with less and less people watching the sport.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Remember Jorge Paez all over the networks. Vs Espinosa and Dorsey. Nigel Benn destroyed DeWitt....Simon Brown..Carbajal coming up...Williams vs Czyz....Holyfield on Showtime and Tyson walking through Carl Williams.

    Maybe its the age but DAMN I miss the late 80's-early 90's of boxing

    Not to mention quality matches were everywhere to be found on the tube!! and not U-tube haha

    It's hard to say... Big fights always popped up that I was interested in ever since I was 6 (Tyson Bruno I)

    Then there was Benn/ Eubank where in Primary school you would argue over who was best and was only allowed to like on of the fighters. (Nothing changes! )

    Then there was Lewis, Prince Naseem, More Tyson... They were the fights you stayed up late for round your mates house while trying to sneak a few bears and girls in because the house was empty.

    Then there was BBC fighters like Junior Witter & Esham Pickering, who I used to think was the dogs bollocks.

    Then I'd finally heard of Roy Jones Jnr after seeing him batter Clinton Woods.

    Then Fight Night 2004 came out and I was like '' Who is this fat dude James Toney ''

    After that I gained access to the Web and all hell broke loose.


    But yeah 2004 was the year. Antonio Tarver beating Roy Jones Jnr was the first boxing story I read about.
