    pre Tarver Jones Jr
    Oscar DLH, whether you like him or not he was always in big fights and had the aura of a true champion, they didn't call him the Golden boy for no reason.

    I agree with this, I thought Valero was a generational fighter. Very sad what happened outside of the ring.

    In light of my other thread I miss Naz.
    Prince right now with social media would have been great for boxing.

    This has me reminiscing now about how much funner the past eras were. I didn't realize how spoiled I was.

    Some good tough local guys who are capable to reach to a championship belt like Dave Hilton, are missed, I believe.

    And some unusual talent like Naseem Hamed, but also prime RJJ would give back boxing its former glory.

    And of course a guy capable to send the old veterans (35+ yo) where they belong - to retirement, like a prime Mike Tyson maybe.
