    I'm 22 and I want to enjoy the careers (the best fights) of the great boxers I've missed chronologically.

    I've thought to start with these:


    -Óscar de la Hoya

    -Julio César Chávez

    -Mike Tyson


    Please I need advice of the fighters that I should watch. Which ones do you recommend me?


    Thanks in advance.
    "Hot" Rod Salka. Pure boxer,

        both those careers are great, with ups and downs and taking on all comers.
        Can't believe I forgot to mention Tito. Definitely worth checking out Tito.

          Salvador Sanchez was beautiful. He was a sight to behold. Artistry, speed, power and intelligence in one package. Every second of his every fight was a masterpiece.

          Start with his fight against Wilfredo Gomez. Its on Youtube.

            I recommend Tito as well. When he repeatedly punches Yori Boy Campas in the balls to get out of trouble, you can already see he has the makings of a Puerto Rican great.

              The 80's 5 Kings Era, doesn't get any sweeter than that and boxing peaked around this time imo. Watch all these guys fights.

              Roberto Duran
              Sugar Ray Leonard
              Marvin Hagler
              Tommy Hearns
              Wilfred Benitez

              And a few more greats ones

              Wilfredo Gomez
              Alexis Arguello
              Salvador Sanchez
              Aaron Pryor
              Azumah Nelson

              90's-y2k era was pretty good too

              ODLH
              Felix Trinidad
              Shane Mosley
              Ike Quartey
              Fernando Vargas

              lots of great fights/fighters during these times

                    Tito Trinidad, a skinny dude with no muscles knocking guys out. Will make u wonder where the hell does fighters power come from. Watch his career in this order, vs Blocker then campas then vs dlh and every fight after that one.

                      watch Roy Jones in his prime. Innovative style, had the basics down, and one of the rare fighters with speed and legit one punch power. Only fighter to not get hit in a full round. KO's behind his back, etc.



                      Also.....hector camacho, meldrick taylor, Terry norris if youre into aggressive speedsters

                      hilario zapata, willie, pep, niccolino locche if you into defense specialist

                      punchers check out earner shavers, joe louis, bob foster, julain jackson


                      for the other styles ricardo lopez, henry armstrong, tony canzoneri.
