Two years ago today, we lost the Marvelous One. When @ringmagazine published a special tribute issue, my letter recounting my experience watching his fight with Tommy Hearns at the Meadowlands Racetrack was printed as the lead in that issue's "Come Out Writing" section.

I've decided to do an all-decade 80s P4P list, but it's going to take a little time for me to consider everyone's case. Will the entire top ten come out of the group of fighters on this 1990 poster? Maybe. But maybe not. What about you? What's your list look like? #80sP4P

I think I'm passing on the PPV this Saturday. I think it's imperative to be very picky about what I'm gonna spend $75+ on. Most of these should not be PPV, let alone at a premium price. They're literally daring boxing fans not to watch. Bad for business.

Do a search for #80sBoxingTV , sort by most recent, and you will find the full archive of my attempt to post every single fight that aired on American network television during the 1980s. I couldn't find everything, but I found most of 'em, DIG!

It's May 23 in Newark and Brockton by now, so let me take the opportunity to remind everyone that my guy Marvelous Marvin Hagler would have been 70 years old today. He's the forever avatar for @80sBoxing because he was central to my falling in love with the sport in the first

I finally scored a copy of this special issue that @ringmagazine put out in 1993. I had it back in the day but it was lost over time. Buckets of blood on every page!

At the time that Mark Breland turned pro, he was seen by many as perhaps the greatest American amateur of all-time. Do you think that this was an accurate assessment, and if so, do you think it's still true today, some 35+ years later? And if not Breland, then who?
