I went on a run.of watching Marvin Hagler fights a few years ago, and think I saw them all twice. About two years ago I got into Mike Tyson videos and I think I've seen all of those twice. I've tried to do classics, like Ali and Frazier, or Floyd Paterson, Rocky Marciano, but I don't stay interested for more than a few fights. I can't do the novelty fighters like Butterbean at all, even though I can see they have some talent.
Who does the crowd recommend? No MMA or UFC. Just boxing.

The greatest fight I ever watched was the insufferable Prince Naseem Hamed being taken to the woodshed by Marco Antonio Barrera in 2001. A master class in poise.
Just watched it. Fascinating fight, with Barrera constantly moving left to stay away from Hamed's left. Hamed had this automatic grin after being hit, likely a psyche move that infuriated other fighters and made them stupid. Obnoxious, but probably effective. Barrera bit on that a few times but mostly stayed off it and fought his fight.
Salvador Sanchez (1959 - 1982)
Sugar Ray Leonard is worth watching, though he did deteriorate towards the end of his career.
