    I am quite young and polish, so: Golota, Michalczewski, Adamek. I enjoyed Adamek the most.

    Muhammad Ali. My dad took me and my older brother to see the Thrilla in Manila on close-circuit when I was just a kid.

    guys like corrales, and cotto
    i remember watching corrales castillo 1 live, till today that moment in round 10 was one of the most exhilerating sport moments in my life.
    ive been watching young cotto by accident, and i really got to appreciate his heart and skill in fights against torres and and abdullaev

    Whitaker was the first fighter I was ever a huge fan of, and I maintain that loyalty to this day. Objectively, of course.
