    I can name the specific fight. Nigel Benn Vs. Gerald McClellan. I was 13. It was the first fight I ever saw.

    Well first it were Balboa and Creed, followed I think by Hagler. Eubank bigtime at one point. More recently Calzaghe.

    Mike Tyson, Dodie Boy Penalosa (I saw an article about the Penalosa family, Gerry was just starting back then), Luisito Espinosa and to a certain extent Sugar Ray Leonard

    I was a very impressionable young kid back then. Funny thing is I thought guys like Duran and Holmes sucked since I only saw the tail end of their careers:patsch
