    Marciano seems to be the biggest beneficiary of this as he is now getting more widespread respect then I ever remember

    Haha yeah.

    Roberto Duran.

    He was completely different to what I thought he was going to be like.

    Yes. I have a greater respect for Korean and Japanese fighters.

    I used to trade a lot of VHS tapes with traders in the UK and in Australia/New Zealand. I had a pretty good grasp of fighters from around the world. But I didn't trade with people from South Korea or Japan.

    With YouTube, I'm able to go back and watch a lot of fighters I'd only see if they happened to face someone like an Aaron Pryor, Duran, etc., when, for the most part, they tended to lose.

    So my appreciation has grown immensely over the years for Japanese and Korean fighters from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
