Sugar Ray was easily my favorite boxer between Ali and young Iron Mike, plus he won a gold medal nearly 50 years ago. I haven’t enjoyed boxing since Mike went to prison and in fact the only fight I have watched since the 90s was Jake Paul vs Mike on Netflix’s which was a “thud”. The promotions and different governing body’s and $ ruined that sport. College football should pay attention as they continue to erode the sport.
Definitely prefer mma/UFC, they took over for boxing in my book a couple decades ago.
Edit: I rewatched Hearns vs Hagler on utube during the pandemic. Epic fight for our young guys.

Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, and Duran knocked the heavyweights off the front page until Tyson showed up
