Boxing: Us old guys are blessed
I've been on a youtube boxing kick like I get often. While watching some old fights, I gotta say, I am blessed, as are many of you guys around my age, when it comes to boxing. We lived in a time to witness some of the greatest fighters ever. Some of the greatest fights ever. Let's see some of the greats we all were lucky enough to see fight in decades past:
Ali Frazier Foreman Norton Shavers Holmes Duran Hagler Leonard Hearns Benitez Palomino Monzon Tyson Chavez Camacho Pazienza Pernell Buster Douglas - Greatest upset ever in all of sports at 42-1 dog! Holyfield Foreman again (comeback) Morrison Boe Tua Golota - Greatest talent ever for a white hvwt but was a mental case De La Hoya Mosely Trinidad Vargas Roy Hopkins Toney Lennox Klitschko Ward Gatti Corrales Castillo Mayweather Cotto Morrales Marquez Barrera Pacquiao I'm sure I missed many - those are just off the top of my head. Some of those guys weren't necessarily great, but man they showed us some of the best fights ever, ie, Ward/Gatti, Corrales/Castillo, Boe/Golota, and the upset that everyone remembers: The night Buster shocked the world! I pity the millennials.

Lol. I knew all those names except two of the later ones. Before MMA boxing was the greatest contest of athleticism.
