Fighter, who was it? When I first started watching boxing James Toney was my favorite boxer, I would watch him fight at Cruiser Weight. I liked that he could take a punch, KO people, and his defense was pretty good.

Morales @ 122 was what got me hooked on boxing. This skinny little bean pole dude with a solid chin in there trading and kicking ass, I loved it. I liked when he got tagged he had that warrior instinct to come forward and retaliate that is awesome and inspiring.

Nigel Benn Vs Chris Eubank. That was the first fight i ever watched with my relatives (none are big boxing fans now), which the whole of the UK seemed to have watched at the time. Been a fan ever since. Nigel Benn was my first favourite. Yeah that was the first fight i say that i can remember. I remember my mum switched the tv of cos it was too violent, so my dad kicked my ass out of the room so he could watch it! Prince Naz was my first fave, then Calzaghe. Didnt have satalite tv so had to make do with whateverITV put on. When Prince Naz went to sky and fought in the states I made my dad take me to the pub to watch it at 4am!

Tyson by a mile, I was about 8 when he started ****ing everyone up. Got a Nintendo for my birthday, bought Punch Out with my lawn mowing money, then he proceeded to KO me in the 1st every single time. That's what I get for being a Tyson fan. Good times.

Aruto Gatti. my first fight that I seen was Micky Ward vs Aruto Gatti on the internet. I used to see Hajime Ippo. even though Aruto Gatti is not a world class boxer but he is a world class fighter in the hearts of many
