well my dad got me into boxing and his favorite fighter of all time was julio cesar chavez but currently its tied between de la hoya and erik morales. i remember we were watching the de lahoya vs ruelas fight and my uncles friend called oscar and his fans pinche jotos(fags)after dlh knocked him out and my dad went off , it looked like my dad was gonna murder him lol. its always fun watching boxing with my dad. im just curious to knwo what ya'll dads favorite fighter and for fun add a funny or any kind of moment u remember about him and his favorite fighter :boxing:
IRON mike , he keeps saying that a prime tyson could beat everybody , especially when tyson loses , and he blames the buster douglas loss to robin givens and all the other woman in tysons life
:D
My father was into boxing more than the average sports fan, but not like I am.
I'm pretty sure his favorite fighter was Duran. He always told me, back when I loved Ray Leonard, that Roberto Duran was going to beat Ray....made me angry to hear it. Made me angrier when it happened !
Foreman.
My dad was a green beret, and Foreman would visit them frequently, and he always describes how Foreman was the biggest dude he could ever imagine. He likes him as a person and a boxer.
As of right now though, he is a Hatton fan.
who doesnt like big george? hes tha man

My dad isnt really a big big boxing fan. He only knows the "famous ones". Its kidna gay cos he always lecteurs me about how boxing can give brain damage and all that (cos i play the sport of course).
However its funny when he wants to get me to go out of the door or something, he always tells me to do the Ali Shuffle out of the door and the Rope 'A' Dope round the corner. Makes me laugh everytime. :D.
My father is the person who first got me into boxing and his favorite fighters would be Julio Cesar Chavez, Tito Trinidad, Pernell Whitaker, And Marco Antonio Barrera(MAB also my favorite)
:D
My dads Fravorite fighter would be between Roberto Duran and Marco Antonio Barrera. My favorite boxer right now is Jose Luis Castillo. I like the fact that one of his goals in boxing is to be recognised as one of the best Mexican Fighters of all time. He always gives it his all in the ring, is very humble and always wants to fight the best. I really hope the best for him and in my eyes he is already one of the best fighters ever. I really have mad respect for Castillo and if I ever became a boxer I would like to follow in his foot steps.
My father was a true fight fan and a former fighter himself so for him he knew that there were fighters who were pound for pound the best boxers of their era's; for Heavyweights its the Marciano vs Ali vs Tyson question as to who would win the individual fight amongst them and then there's the Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Leonard etc... Super Fight glory of days of modern "old time boxing". These were some of his favourite fights crediting both of the boxers that would make these fights legendary.
