Totally!
The day a pro boxer comes on the scene called Dong Fuk Yu, you know I will be stumping up the cash for a T-shirt!

Dennis Andries, what a warrior! Also loved his response to losing to Hearns... just packs his bag and heads to the Kronk, just like that

One of my favorites in my early days of Boxing fandom who is largely forgotten by fans these days is Leonard Dorin. Fun fighter.

Just the mere fact he fought Gatti makes me embarrassed I don't know him.

And a draw with Spadafora.

The Draw with Spadafora was a tremendous fight. Right up there with Jirov vs Toney as one of my favorite fights of 2003. Gatti vs Ward 3 won The Ring Magazine Fight of the Year award that year, but I preferred Dorin vs Spaddy and Toney vs Jirov that year personally.

Gatti/Ward III was a great fight, but not the best in the trilogy, one was, most certainly...two was lopsided but exciting, but I can see Toney/Jirov in the conversation.

Loved to watch ' The Fenn Tiger ' Dave Boy Green , he sparked my interest in boxing and Hugh ' Little Red ' Russell.

style wise i used to like watching Ian Napa in action

but.....always loved Benn, Cat Thompson, Alan Minter, Colin Jones etc

I liked Minter. However my most vivid memory is Hagler being pelted with debris after doing away with him.

When I was young Tony Sibson and Sylvester Mittee. I used to like the early 80's heavyweights like Quarless, Meade, McDermott etc , always used to be who landed first won

in honor of my good friend and fellow poster Candyslim, I'll say Jeff Merritt! Great fighter; could've been a great career, if not for...

Carlos Maussa, for having probably the most outrageously crude anti-style of any world champion ever. The look on poor Vivian Harris's face when he realised he hadn't a clue how to deal with the mad bastard will live long in the memory

Is that the fight he hit him when he was more or less flat out?

yep. He got saved from a DQ, amazingly, mostly cos his punch caught more rope than head. Nutter.

Sammy McCarthy for me - very talented. Wonder what he is doing now?

I remember back in 1975, the return of Friday Night Fights. I saw a lanky raw Mike Rossman take out Mike Nixon with a gorgeous overhand right. LIked to watch Rossman from then on out. Although he was no more than a middleweight at the time, Mike made a nice career at Light Heavyweight.
