Boxing was once more fun than it is these days.
In no particular order here are a few I like:
- George Foreman
- Marvin Hagler
- Mickey Ward
- Evander Holyfield
- Roy Jones
- Manny Pacquiao
- Roberto Duran
- Julio Cesar Chavez
- Vitali Klitschko
- Mike Tyson
I tend to be less a fan of guys who are boxers first and fighters second.

Fruit of the Loom are ok, but Duluth Trading Company might take the spot.

I knew almost nothing about Leon Spinks, but when I went back and watched his fights with Ali, I became a fan. He was a really tough fighter.

I remember when he killed that liberal commie in Rocky 4, and Russia is my second favorite country.

Boxing use to be such a great sport. When I was a little kid, my Dad once stood up in a revival meeting and told the preacher he had to shut it down because boxing was about to start on TV. The preacher always came to our house to watch Boxing from Madison Square Garden on TV because we were the only family in the community with a TV. Black & white picture with rabbit ears antenna that I had to manipulate until the picture came in. And yes, my dear departed Daddy was quite a character!
