    I am from what is known as the 'old school'... sorry I mean ol' Skool (I got to be with it); in other words I am senile old ****er, who thinks a Wlad Klitschko is some kind of 15th Century Romanian emperor;)

    So who is/was boxing idol?

    Just curious TBooze, where exactly do you rank Carpentier nowadays? I know he's moved a ways down from the rather unorthodox position of #4 that you used to have him at.

    Marvin Hagler. Saw an article of him in an newspaper(boxing is not really big in Scandinavia), and from then on - I studied him.

    Strike of luck(or the lack thereof), it turned out he was the "enemy" of my hated boxer, SRL, whom in turn had destroyed my fav danish fighter, Ayub Kalule, which I saw live when in 3rd grade.

    It was a good relationship, which surpassed my former admiration of Cassius Clay/Muhammed Ali.

    I have always been a big fan of Evander 'the Real Deal' Holyfield. I see James Corbett is on the list, so if we're talking about fighters of a time before we were nowhere near to being born then I would say Harry Greb. Shocking! I have never been gifted with the chance to see him fight but his story is a captivating one and the stories I've heard about him made me a fan of his. I've always put alot of stock into my favorite fighters, but it changes every once in a while (just like bands and food).
