    I remember them. I also loved some of the names you later posted. Sugar Ray was one of my favorites. Hand speed unreal and finesse type but I liked that nut Duran too. He was quite the opposite. Old Hit Man Hearns was my uncle's favorite.

    We ALL missed Tyson at the time he could have been his very best. Dude was an animal, but he spent his prime in a cage over some weak ass skirt. He was dumb and she was a tiny bit not as dumb. Waste.

    Tyson wasn't too smart back then. Going from ghetto to rock star was a lot for him to process, I'd imagine. Throw in the people he listened to for advice and he hardly had a chance.

    His big hair is kind of a red flag aint it.

    Remember Tyson saying this, "(King is) a wretched, slimy, reptilian motherfucker.That "reptilian" part stuck with me.

    The Haugen/ Pazienza fights were always fun, the late 80's to mid 90's showed a lot of promise in the lighter divisions. Always hated Hector Camacho. Going back a bit more Alexis Arguello had some good fights, Wilfred Benitez This could go on forever.

    Forgot Johnny Tapia, and there was another kid, think he may have been from Kentucky, used to get bloodied up like nothing I've ever seen. Danny something or another.
