My brother and Father got me into watching boxing when i was a kid. Ofcourse this was the mid 90's and the only person I watched was Tyson. I was never interested in too many ppl below heavyweight until 3 or 4 years ago. But I became an overall fan of every weightclass myself

Prince Naseem sparked my interest in boxing. Where I live (UK), everyone knew when he was fighting. Some guys used to order PPV and then charge their mates for coming into their house to watch it.

But what really made me passionate about boxing was when I started going to the local boxing gym.

Rocky 4 lead me to reading boxing history (I'm a history buff). While doing this I came across the epic fights such as Louis vs Schmeling II, the Ali-Frazier trilogy, and ect. Truth is boxing has several memorable heroes and villians (who is which depends on ones opinion), and many great stories. All this combined with my love for fighting it just stuck with me and I became a modern era fan. So in short Rocky Balboa.

Good thread btw.
