    Tito Trinidad
    Evander Holyfield
    Erik Morales

    Erik and Tito in particular you could just see the intensity and the hunger to be GREAT.

    You'll definitely be missed:good

    I never miss fighters. New stars arises, missing fighters is for romanticists, and I am not one of them.

    thing is a top fighter only fights a couple of times a year anyway - so they can just drift away more subtly and before you realise it you know they aint coming back - like Naseem Hamed - but I dont miss him now - becuse I feel like that time has truly past and you just leave it in its place in history and move on.

    The best way to put the past behind you is to create a new future.

    So whatever fighters have gone - who knows - that could be a new fighter as good as Roy Jones just around the corner.

    Thats a whole other ballpark. You may miss a deep division, when it's lacking comp, but not fighters in particular(from my perspective).

    I loved Tyson, since I first read about him before he was WC, but do I miss him? No. He had his time, and i enjoyed it(most of it).

    I have no problem with other people missing fighters, I am just not one of them.

    I use to hate Lennox Louis but now that he is gone I do miss him, Tito Trinidad I miss in his prime also.

    No doubt the guy in my avatar will be missed.. who will everyone be talking about in the lighter divisions when he's gone? it'll be a long time before we get another fighter likes this who can achieve and go as far as he did.. boxing will just feel different when he won't be fighting anymore...

    Tyson, when he fought I felt like I was going into a boxing match, the rush a Tyson fight gave him was comparable to having sex with a new girl for the first time.
