[Mr E]

My all-time favorite fighters whom I got to see when they were actually fighting (as opposed to fighters I only know through film and books) were Carlos Palomino, Danny Little Red Lopez, and Miracle Matthew (Franklin) Saad Muhammad.

I can still remember Jimmy Lennon, Sr. @ the old Olympic Auditorium in L.A.: "Kiiiiiiing Carloooossss Palo-meeeee-heeeenoooo!!"

Heavy-- Smokin' Joe!

Cruiser-- Evander

LHW-- Bob Foster

Middle-- Nino Benvenuti

JM -- Hit Man Tommy Hearns

Don't remember exactly what weight class they were in, but I also liked Ismael Laguna (mainly because I liked his name ) and the Aborigine Lionel Rose.

[Goodnight, Irene]

Laguna was a Lightweight, & a better one than history recalls, at that.
