Your top 5?

No one has pac in their list...mmmm.

Wonder why?

When Manny is fighting they will all come out in force.

[mikeeod]

If we are taking active fighters, Manny is definitely on my list, along with Cotto, GGG, Floyd and Crawford. Special fighters.

It's incredible what a loss or two will do to a fighter's stock.

The fab 4 were not facing one another after 1986, discounting the crap fights after, it was the early 80's when they were at their best.

The late 80's were Tyson years and the first fight they showed of his was against Frazier when I became a fan.

They may have been past their best but Leonard-Hearns II was on ITV. I can't remember if it was live but the repeat/highlights were shown primetime (7pm) the next day. Hagler-Leonard, Hagler-Mugabi, Leonard-Duran 3/Lalonde, Hearns-Andries were all shown.

This is why I liked Hearns best as he still had something left in him.

I seem to remember watching Leonard hagler live ish but that could also be my mind playing tricks on me

[mikeeod]

Hagler Vs Hearns was the first fight I saw. Made me a fan for life and I can vividly remember being terrified by the way they were staring at each other. It's why I hold it against Floyd for not closing the show or pressing during his fight vs Manny. That was an opportunity to save the sport, repay the sport/fans, and he made it a track meet. Turned off so many potential fans for the future. Hope his next ppv suffers and he is marginalized for it.

Tyson came along when the fab four were still fighting.

Remember Tyson's fights being on ITV on Sat/Sun mornings/afternoon. I was sitting in a snooker club, eating a steak and kidney pie, when I saw Tyson iron out Larry Holmes.

That is exactly how I would imagine you watching it Not that I know you or anything but I bet you had your first ( non stolen home brew or old mans can) beer, either at the snooker club or the community centre. I used to nick my stepdads home brew but it was pretty rank. Had my first drink from the parents drinks cabinet when they were out, got hammered on Bells. I remember it so well because my step son did the same thing about 12 years ago and rang me and the Mrs when we were at the football and said " Um.. I drunk this bacaradi thing and now I am going to sleep..sorry" Had to laugh

World of Sport if I remember rightly. @Dia bando will remember he is ancient

[Dia bando]

Roberto Duran
Marvin Hagler
Tommy Hearns
Wilfredo Gomez
Joe Calzaghe

I remember watching Foreman v Frazier on Saturday lunchtime on Grandstand after Football Focus. That was probably a whole week after the fight, I'll never forget the knockdown that took Frazier off both his feet!
I may be mistaken , but I think Ali v Foreman was live on BBC in the middle of the night and Ali v Spinks 1. And Sportsnight on a Wednesday always used to have live boxing....Bodell v McAlinden, Dave "Boy" Green and loads of Bruno fights! ITV used to have live boxing midweek as well.
