Who inspired you to box or watch boxing ?

Smokeing Joe Fraizer was my all around inspiration Arturo gatti v micky ward trilogy got me into boxing i was 7 years old when i watched there first fight with my father who was a big boxing fan his fighter was roy jones jr pre 2000.

Initially watching videos of the Prince online made me a fan. Ended up buying his Career DVD set as they were pretty hard to find online at the time. Became a hardcore fan after Mayweather vs Hatton. Stayed up for most the US cards after that, no matter how big or small the event was.

No-one else has the answer "Dad"? My Dad loved boxing and got me into it from a young age. I was boxing before I was a fan of watching it. Then Mike Tyson came along and turned me into a huge fan. Wasn't particularly weird back then to be a boxing fan. I'd imagine a 9 year old staying up until the early hours to watch an American boxer would turn a few heads nowadays.

Mine was Floyd vs Big Show. Before then, I had no clue who FMJ was but I was more than entertained. That made me go on YouTube to see defensive highlights. On top of everything, I could easily see the power of FMJ punches on Big Show. Moreover, I was getting tired of fake wrestling anyways. Then there was the Ali month ESPN Classic did, now that cleared out any doubt I had left. I became a fan. I thought I'd be the only one digging Floyd vs the big show.

Christy Martin because she was something the boxing scene had never seen before in her trade mark pink trunks, Floyd Mayweather also inspired me too, I thought he was so cool as a kid when he fought at Wrestlemania vs the big show LOL.

Pacquiao bring back the boxing at the top in his prime.

Mike Tyson He's not just a fighter. He's a figure

I grew up in a family that watched a lot of sports including boxing. Boxing captured me, at the first the major fights and in time all of them.

Remember watching Barkley - Duran with my dad and his brothers - those dudes were INTO it. Always watched the fights, and still am.

Mayweather vs Cotto turned me from a casual to a hardcore fan. Remember watching the fight in a bar with a very smart friend of mine who I respect. He was telling me how Mayweather was the best in the sport. The bar was full of Salvadorans (that's the main latino group in my city), and they were are all cheering for Cotto and jeering Mayweather. I personally thought the fight sucked and couldn't understand why Mayweather won. Then I went home and started rewatching the fight again, and again, and again. And suddenly, I started understanding what boxing was really about. Haven't turned back since.

Danny Little Red Lopez vs Sanchez. Great fight. Lopez was no sloch and Sanchez wrecked him.
