how did you begin???

Watched all the free network TV fights on the weekends with my father..started boxing against other kids in the neighborhood with gloves my father bought me at age 12...he took me to a gym at 14...and I have been there ever since. Scully when fought Micheal Nunn why did you lose ? I know Micheal Nunn is a league of Roy Jones and other guy but did you figure him out his way of fight or did he use any tricks?

I've been watching boxing since I was old enough to remember. My dad and grandpa were big into it. Watched all the ones on TV with my dad and my grandpa would order every pay-per-view, so I would go to his house to watch them. And I'm still as addicted as ever. I'm 25. So havent been watching it way too long. But I do remember watching Floyd Mayweather Jr. on I guess it was Tuesday night fights? Back when he was really new. I would tell my folks, that guy is quick I bet he gets somewhere someday. And they all thought he was fast but too weak to get anywhere. Watched a bunch of Camacho fights, duran, some Chavez Sr. and stuff like that when they were in their prime. Was young but still remember them.

The first Gatti-Patteron Fight, i was really young and only really found an interest because i thought the name Arturo Thunder Gatti was pretty sweet. After that i started following all his fights and gradualy got wrapped up in boxing

Well has followed boxing for as long as i can remember, more or less to a degree. In some months i watch more, and others i watch just little, but i allways keep an close eye on whats happening. What Boxing really needs right know is a great heavyweight to come along, to make non Boxing people to take notice at least. And consider how bad todays heavyweights are, im not even sure it has to be a great heavyweight, just a heavyweight that are at least good to generate peoples interese again.

I don't remember but my dad took me to the Olympic Boxing in '84 (I'm from los angeles). Since then boxing has often been a staple in my home as my dad grew up loving boxing and developed a weird friendship with Sonny Liston when he lived in Philadelphia and Liston was retired. One of my favorite memories is watching a great prizefight with my dad. I still have the handbook that shows where everything is and the rules to each sport.

Before my mother got "culture", she used to watch the Friday Night Fights on TV. I remember watching Ray "Windmill" White (did I get his name right - a California fighter, very entertaining) holding the guy in a headlock and punching him in the face behind his back. I was an underweight and bullied kid, so boxing appealed to me. Just for everybody's information, yes, I am 54 years old and all you young guys don't know shit about boxing, because you are still wet behind the ears...... :beerchug: LMAO!! Cool!

Tyson v Lewis first caught my attention but my grandad was into boxing too so I guess it was inevitable.

I had seen a few fights prior and even still remember my first one (Larry Holmes vs. Randall 'Tex' Cobb) but the fight that got me hooked on boxing was Hagler vs. Hearns. I will never forget that fight.

My moment was the '92 Olympics in Barcelona. A young Mexican kid named Oscar de la Hoya was on a mission for his dead mother. That story had me and my dad up early everyday to watch his fights. Just all around good memories of my father and boxing.

Leonard-Duran I

I got jumped after a basketball game one night and I decided to get into boxing to get back at them. Instead, I fell in love with the sport.

Seeing SRL in the Ams' as a very small child. Great Uncle boxed pro...my Dad boxed. Met Hagler when I was 7...got a pin and a autograph . Also seeing the Rocky movie @ the theatres as a kid made me want to box. What really did it was seeing my 1st Am's show in 92'. INSANE!!! Met Mitch Blood Green there too.

Rocky films as a child and ofcourse Mike Tyson!

Hector "Macho" Camacho brought a flair to the ring that many after him tried to imitate....Prince Naseem Hamed, Floyd Mayweather, Sharma Mitchell, Tito Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, just to name a few. Mohamed Ali was flambouyant and charasmatic with his infamous rhymes and ring anctics, tormenting, and loud mouthing his opponents. Hector Camacho brought style with dressing up as a gladiator, a tiger, a futuristic warrior, somekind of wacky outfit. Many followed suit with ridding of the traditional, long boxing robe, for a more shorter, modified version. I got into boxing cause of Howard Cossell was the commentator! lol! the way he used to say "Mo-hamed A-li"

Watched Malinga/Rocchigiani from 89 with my dad, it grew from there. Twas the Holyfield/Douglas fight that made me a fully pledged fight fan though.

When I was 7 years old, African boxer Ayub Kalule beat Masashi Kudo for the WBA light middleweight title. Kalule was promoted by Danish manager/promoter Mogens Palle (yeah, Kessler's guy), and at that time it was like Kalule was Danish himself. It was the first fight I remember seeing, but I was hooked on boxing. I started at a local club when I was 13. It was quite a good club, having both European jr. welterweight champion Søren Søndergaard, and European champion and IBF world title challenger Gert Bo Jacobsen (he lost to Greg Haugen) come out of there within a few years of each other. Quite impressive for a small club in a town with population of 3.000.

no other sport uses every muscle in your body... or mabye thats just born fighters..not all fighter no what there doing Have you ever seen college swim meets? Freestyle and butterfuly are all great examples of power, speed, flexibility, technique, endurance. You have to use all parts of your body for that as well. There are also decathletes (sp) penthaletes. I totally agree that boxers are superb atheltes but todays atheletes are too taylored to call one a clear cut best.
