    What got u into this Glorious sport?

    What got u into boxing? For me it was a certain Mr. Tyson! My old man was my hero and the respect he had for Tyson made me think this guy must be God! I watched him when i was very young and instantly realized he was!!!! lol

      My grandad was a decorated amateur boxer in the 50's, so he always tried getting me into it.

      And the Rocky films.

          looking for a sport to play in College. Also, when Haseem Rahman won the title they had a parade in Baltimore so that helped.

            Cool, not often people encourage boxing to family. Boxing teaches u repect and disapline while also teaching u how to take care of urself and keeps u fit id'll get my son envolved if he likes it and if i ever have one!

                  Yeh, because my dad has no part in my life my Grandad has had a huge influence in making me a 'man' and boxing was one of the ways he did it.
