I watched Tyson when I was Eight and became interested. The fights that got me hooked where Buddy McGirt-Simon Brown and Hector Camacho - Greg Haugen. Then started watching ever old tape and fight I could see and read about. With all the young guys on here just wondering what got you hooked. I first got into boxing watching Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed all them years ago.

Barcelona 1992. A young Mexican named Oscar de la Hoya. That also made me more excited about the sport. When I saw Trinidad beat Blocker I was really hyped about boxing and got my ring subcription then.

tyson bruno 2 got me interested and then i watched a tyson fight here n there but then as soon as ricky hatton came on the scene and was fighting regulerly on sky sports i got very interested and since hatton/zoo i aint looked back broadaning my horizons with every division i can watch and watching any fight i can get my hands on

When I was about 10, my brother would have ppv parties & I would really get into the fights, I think it was always a Tyson fight. Then I got into boxing again thanks to Legendary Nights on HBO. I talked to my grandmother about Arguello since we're Nica & she told me my late grandfather had a collection of his fights he had recorded(on Beta, talk about old school)& I saw some classic Arguello & real early Tyson fights back when he was eating everyone alive the my gramps had also recorded, then I would always look into upcoming fight on foxsports & HBO & stumbled on to Boxingscene, I've been discussing boxing ever since. I'm seriously considering taking it up at least as a good cardiovascular workout. Nice story

I remember as a kid watching Ray Mancini fight on a saturday afternoon on ABC wide world of sports. Don`t know who against, but he won. Also around the same time I remember wathing Pryor vs Arguello with my uncle when I was just a little kid.

I watched alot of Hagler fights when I was young and living in the Boston area........too young to even rememebr who he was fighting but I can remember my Dad telling me about him and us watching the fights.I really,really became interested in boxing in the early Tyson days and when Hagler/Leonard popped off. :boxing:

Sweet P's fights.

I think my earliest fight that I can remember being excited about was probably Tyson vs someone. But since then it has been more of the lower weight classes i.e. jrWelter, WW, LMW, MW.

Benn and Eubank fight and early tyson and Lewis fights. I watched big george on his comeback which made me look back at his older fights. the rumble in the jungle got me hooked for good!
