    Follow the leaders on here and you’ll find treasure troves. George can point you to remarkable things in the light heavyweight division, our best rounds poll has great rounds and many of them from great fights. Lot of heavyweight discussion but that’s to be expected.

    I spent a summer looking mostly at lighter-weight guys from the West Coast and it was eye-opening.

    Because you are quite young for a boxing fan and know quite a lot for someone your age (hell even mine!). I tip my hat off to you.
