Some good fighters there schwer would won I world belt today he's as good as crolla , Micheal Ayres was a tough fighter I met him a couple of times training when he had had about 5 fights top bloke and Wayne should of had a longer career really but what a puncher and he won the junior and senior ABAs so could box a bit as well.

Marvin Hagler, loved the menace that he brought to the ring. Tyson as well, when he was on his way up he brought some real excitement to the heavyweights.

I used to love watching Michael Brodie fight.

Hoko and mcmillan, loved them both and if i remember rightly came pretty close to a unification fight when both were champs

Then got slaughtered in the rematch. Felt tight on him in the first chi fight cause he won it but judges gave it to chi then a re count had it a draw thats the WBC for you tho and that was about 12 years ago,WBC still dodgy as fck 12 years on

Nigel Benn - he was in some exciting fights and it was the first boxing I watched as a kid.

Frank Bruno - I was never a massive fan but I got the impression that the whole country was behind him when he fought, it really felt like an event and probably won't get that ever again.

Choi Tsveenpurev - all action fighter, disappointed that he never got the opportunities that he should have.

Carl Thompson - never count out The Cat, superhuman recuperative powers.

It was Jorri. He lost to

International - Tyson, Morales, Barrera.

I’m sure lots will say Hatton, but I never really warmed to him in the same way that so many others did.

Pacquiao broke my heart when he beat Barrera! I hated Pacquiao for a good few years after that

I loved Hatton but I thought his WBU reign went on too long. It was somewhat justified with him beating Tzsyu when he did but the WBU days seemed to go on forever!

Same with Shea Neary. Him v Hatton would've been good to see.

Herbie Hide- Had a soft spot for him. Entertained both sides of the ropes.

Me too.

I got into him when I was a student in East London in the early 1990s & I watched a lot of his early fights live.

Although he was a nincompoop, he was great to watch & his power was something else.

Remember when big bad James Oyebula(rip) used to come and heckle hide at ringside!!

I was a teenager during the golden era of Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and those were great days for boxing. Julian Jackson was another of my favourites, hardest puncher I ever saw. Domestically I loved Colin Jones, Lloyd Honeyghan and later on Nigel Benn, Lennox Lewis and Prince Naseem stood tall. I miss fighters like Azumah Nelson, he carried on way too long but a great fighter who was willing to fight anyone.

Both great fighters with completely different styles and both very unlucky with cuts and injuries

The most exciting fighter of all time

As a welter he was very exciting. He put on some snoozers @ LH though.

Brodie had dropped a disputed decision to Willie Jorrin in Manchester a couple of years previously
