    I really liked that era of Enzo Calzaghe's stable all being successful

    In particular Calzaghe and Enzo Maccirinelli. And despite losing many times, I really liked watching Bradley Pryce,

    Lennox Lewis is my favourite and arguably the greatest ever British fighter. Certainly in the modern era. Calzaghe is up there though.
    Just behind Lewis as my favourite fighter is Herol Graham.

    it's a registered disability so you're not allowed to judge :)
    one of the symptoms is I talk a good game and then freeze...

    people judge Marsh as they say he never had knockout punch. Yet he took a lung out without being seen...

    Haye was my favourite growing up and his fights actually got me into boxing but I’ll never forgive him for giving Bellew those 2 wins.

    Huge fan of Josh Taylor, Carl Froch, George Groves and Carl Frampton.

    Loved "The Gifted One".

    Remember watching The Fighting Fireman letting Kameda have free shots at him before knocking him out, and dropping his epilepsy grenade a short time later.


    Great times

    Remember being heartbroken at Graham losing his 38-0 record to an unheralded (at the time) Sumbu Kalambay.


    Graham should have had a title shot a lot sooner, I often wonder how he'd have fared with Hagler at the time, who termed him iirc, as a "limbo dancer"
