    I am guilty of this on a few fronts. Let me begin by saying I have never seen Rodrigo Valdes in anything more then pictures or articles. I have watched just about every other Monzon fight but his Valdes ones I never got around to... this bled into me also never watching Rodrigo fight. Now it isn't as big of a sin as never watching Ali or something however you'd assume anyone worth there salt has seen him at least once right?

    I also have watched next to nothing of RJJ, I have also seen even less of Willie Pep. On the flip side I have seen over the years every fight I can get my hands on for guys like Jeff Fenech, Lionel Rose, Eder Jofre, Yuh, Chang, Sot Chatilda, Sung Kil Moon, "Death mask" etc among other otherwise passed over guys.

    Anyways. As you are feel free to post or laugh at my shameful hipster ways. :oops:

    Until few weeks ago i'd never really seen Jose Napoles or Euseibo Pedroza.

    I've still never seen Nicolino Locche, Miguel Canto, Carlos Ortiz, Ismael Laguna, etc. My knowledge on fighters before 1970 and lower weightclasses for certain needs improving.

    I like Canto a lot. Locche can be a torturous watch for some but I enjoy him too. Jose Napoles is someone at every level you can appreciate he is just so hypnotic at times. The fine wine thing of boxing is just how much there is to see no matter how long you have called yourself a fan it actually is dwarfing to think you may never find your "true" favourite fight.

    To be honest....I haven’t really watched Usyk ...it’s hard for me to get interested in today’s current fighters ...the Joshua fight was the first time I saw him

    Very similar. I only watched him to access how he’d do against Joshua. The big guys are just so uninteresting it’s not worth watching half the time but when it’s the HW title….

    A lot actually, names such as Rafael Bazooka Limon, Bobby Chacon, Cornelius Boza Edwards and probably other fighters around them during the time.

    And I just recently look up about Jose Napoles, Idk I'm just not fond with that guys style... pretty much not interested about him.

    Mayweather tbh. Saw a few bits from certain fights but couldn't sit thru a full one.
    Just something about the guy.
    Obviously he's a boxing genius and an ATG but his style just turns me off.

    Theirs two version of Floyd, Pretty Boy and Money May. If you love punchers I highly recommend you watch Pretty Boy Floyd, that version of him have some plenty of exciting fights such as against Augustus, Manfredy, Corley and Judah. Here a highlight fight of him against Augustus, it's very entertaining!

    I watched most of their fights as they happened (but missed a few) of Mayweather and Jones but haven’t rewatched any fights apart from Jones-Tarver II and am never gonna rewatch a Mayweather fight. I don’t watch Canelo and won’t rewatch his either. The Kovalev was the last “fight” I saw.

    Who's this Muhammad Ali guy people keep talking about? Was he like a 1960s Jake Paul?
