    Obviously I got the idea for this thread from the other "year you were born threads," but what the hell. A little plagery never hurt anybody.

    Let's limit this to guys who held at least one world title, or contenders who beat some future or former champs. What top notch fighters turned pro the year you were born?

    Mine is Denny Moyer. After all these years he is still the best fighter to come from my neck of the woods.

    I was born on the day of Joe Calzaghe's pro debut.

    The night of Lewis vs Bruno.
