    When it comes down to looking for tapes of old boxing legends, the only ones I can remember are Heavyweights!

    (when I mean old, I mean 1960 and before)

    I mean yeah, I remember Robinson, LaMotta, Fidel LaBarba, Young Jack Fox, Billy Conn, Henry Armstrong, Barney Ross, Tony Canzonery, Lew Tendler, Harry Greb, Jimmy McLarnin, Sixto Escobar-our first champion in Puerto Rico's boxing history but not my cup of tea certainly! Tony Marino, Lou Salica, Harry Jeffra, Gorilla Jones, Ceferino Garcia, Jimmy Wilde, Battling Siki, Paul Berlenbach, Tony and Rocky, Manuel Ortiz, Kid Azteca and whatnot, but i feel that i have forgotten the names of many outstanding champions and fighters.

    (And thats not even counting women champions, i know Ann, Christy, Regina, Laura, Jackie, Bonnie Canino, Amanda and her sister Cindy and Deidre, but thats about it, I know those are not pre-1960 but come on those are like the stone age of women's boxing, I dont know most of them either or cannot remember their names)

    Point is: does this happen to you guys sometimes?? or is it just me? (lol!)
