      In 1977 I watched Ali. End of story!

      Or maybe the beginning.

      31 years later and I'm deeper into boxing than ever. I only regret not becoming a fighter myself, and I have been told my speed is like lightning. Maybe I could have been decent, I don't know, but to be honest I value my straight nose very much. I sometimes look in the mirror and press my nose flat, then turn away and say "nah"...

        it's gotta be the benn eubank era for me, i'm from Brighton and used to always see Eubank in his truck, i always hated him.
        Nas also was sort of the tail end of that era, i feel a lot of nostalgia for that time of my life.

          Do you still hate Benn? I see you have a G-Man avatar.

              My dad was a new england heavyweight golden glove champ, i used to always watch him hit the heavy bag in our basement almost every night, he had his trophys all over our living room and always had people over for the fights. But i remember mostly Tyson vs. Holyfield 1.. He had everyone over and i just remember the excitement from all my dads friends, uncles, everyone and just the environment before the fight and i just got caught up in the excitement being a young kid. Before some of the big fights now even being 20 years old i still get that same feeling i did on that night.

                Oh ****, I read that wrong, obviously.

                I love Eubank. Bizarre character but yes, great fighter!

                Watson was brilliant.

                  i started to get interested on boxing at the end of 2006. the interest started with a mix of things, they were showing all rocky movies on cable, and i havent seen them in quite a time, the game fight night, and the anime series fighting spirit. all of that made me curious and started to search for fights and see when they were showing fights on tv. well...i just got hooked with the sport really quick...started to practice boxing myself and just love it since. im really lucky, cos no one ever showed me anything about boxing and i discovered it for myself just how awesome it is =P. well...im still green in this sport cos i have lots to learn, so thats why i enjoy this forum, cos i always leran a lot in here.

                    Tyson and Benn.

                    Eubank and Toney... that super-fight was building/brewing for years, but it didn't happen.

                      Yeah i think if I had never met him i would've been a fan.
                      I met him twice when i was fairly young and he just totally blanked me and my dad, looked the other way like we were ****.
                      After that i always hated him and routed for Benn.
                      Did you see that series Gladiators when Benn and Eubank had to do old style gladitorial events against each other. It was class Benn won and Eubank couldn't handle it. I cant find any footage but it's worth seeing if you can find it.
