go there, its pretty much the same question ur asking

ah I see

sorry for makin a similar topic you guys :cool:

happens all the time

don't worry about it

but go ahead and browse the old pages

sometimes threads get a second life that's better than the first time they were on the front page...

We must have been thinking on the same wave length. I just posted about the same time you did in the All boxing forum a similiar question. 'Boxing Great Moments',
I started really getting into boxing about 1980 when Duran beat the flamboyant Leanord in Montreal. I was hooked. I followed my brother to a gym when i was 17 and fought amatuer for several years. Even though i'm much older now and way past my prime, I can honestly say boxing never quite gets out of your blood completely. Like former bantamweight champ Jeff Chandler said "boxing is an addiction". It really is. Both as a spectator and a participant.

heheh a while ago i had made a thread about boxing moments too, if ur not getting answers then maybe u should go check it out

my father was a big boxing fan and i really enjoyed the first boxing match i saw. rags-to-riches stories and bigger-than-life success of small-town boys like ali, foreman, hagler, erik morales, pacquiao, etc. appeal to my senses too.
