        I started boxing at the age of 14 and at that time I probably couldn't name a boxer other than Mike Tyson. After a few weeks at the gym I started to watch fights when they were on tv. Although I stopped boxing at 18 I continued to follow the sport. So about 6 years in all.

          The first big fight I remember was Tyson-Bruno II. After that I became a Prince Naseem nuthugger, and watched all the fights I could from about 1996 onwards. Due to the Sky schedule at the time, I have more memories of watching Geoff McCreesh live than Bernard Hopkins.

          Anyone else remember the likes of Paul 'Scrap Iron' Ryan, Pele Reid, Mark Prince and Damien Kelly?

          I used to read a lot too, my grandad has some old boxing books from the 1950s. I used to read the modern magazines too and at one time I could name the 4 alphabet champions in every division.

          There were a few years inbetween however when I only watched the big fights and missed a lot of the matchups between prospects, domestic level guys etc.

                Yeah I remember that fight, I have it on VHS but can't find it online.

                One guy gets cut real bad, so has to go for the KO, almost gets it, but then the other guy comes back and KOs him.

                I used to like Rhodes, thought he would get to the top, even after he lost to Grant, but then he got KO'd and never became as good as I thought he would.

                I didn't see much of Starie but I like Dean Francis, he has had some entertaining KOs in the past.
