    I like eras. The late 1970s 1980s is the era for me. But I was young so I read all the magazines and got into everything. Bramble, Mancini even Haugen when he beat Jimmy Paul was a big deal. Spinks. Hearns, Leonard, Duran,Benitez, Hagler Holmes. It was just exciting. There was always something big going on.
