    A fighter or an era?

    ...And as a secondary question; Are you reading up on anything particular at the moment?

    I'm not well rehearsed on anything, really. I haven't been into boxing as long as most here have.

    Marvin Hagler probably, filmed fights wise. For a few months I watched nothing but.

    SRR, Monzon, Hagler, Marciano, the 1990's all divisions, Johnson through Dempsey era heavies...

    I want to read those books on Fitzsimmons and Corbett that everyone here speaks of but am currently reading James Joyce.

    ..............80's boxing for sure. Just about everything else is a bit fuzzy, but I'm learning. My pet interest of the past few months has been collecting fights and general info. about the southern California scene in the late 60's-early 70's. Such a golden age for boxing there at that time.

    I could make a living out of defending and making excuses for Lennox Lewis.

    Anything Tyson. As far as boxing history, I don't know near as much as some of the other guys here do.
