    What fighters of your generation do you miss? And why?

    I miss...in no particular order...

    Lennox Lewis - pure class, the last great heavyweight.
    Prince Naseem - one of the most exciting fighters of all time
    Mike Tyson - no explanation necessary
    Barrera - because of his wars with morales
    Morales - as above
    Nigel Benn - most underrated warrior in the sport

    Obviously shout out to three warriors we lost too soon...

    Arturo Gatti, Diego Coralles and Vernon Forrest.

    One more mention and that's for a trainer...

    Emanuel Steward, he was my favorite person in boxing and whenever I watch boxing I think of Manny, a true legend.

      Hamed-the walk out and fight were always electric

      Young james toney-really made me appreciate subtle art of the sport

      Hagler-my favorite ever. No bull****. Just punch in, kick ass, punch out, go home.

          Yeah me too man, it sucks he ain't around anymore. I think he would have had a great life after boxing, being an analyst and just around the game. He's truly missed.

              Tommy Morrison - RIP Champ, A ruthless boxer

                    Middleweight James Toney! Great Mixture of Skilled Boxing but could also Improvise and get into a Brawl but still using his His Shoulder Roll Technique
