What turned u into a hardcore fan.

[The Hammer]

Wladimir Klitschko's fights from 2000 to 2002.

Bostice, Barrett, Jefferson, Shufford, Mercer, and McCline.

After he bounced back with wins over Peter, Byrd, and Brock in 2005-2006, I became even more of a hardcore fan.

I was born in 85 so naturally everyone watching tyson and everything. And when i was a teenager I just found out about more fighters and what not. I got into myself, my dad or no one I know was ever into it. I used to go to fights in philly and **** by myself since i was like 14 or 15.

I was a casual fan as a kiddie since my first memories of Benn, Eubank and Bruno. But when everything went cable, I had no means of watching anything - barring the odd Shea Neary fight on ITV - until I decided to order Lennox-Tyson (having only watched his progress on VHS tapes and the news).

Seeing that one rekindled my passion for things, but only when Mayweather-Hatton came around did I decide to start seriously educating myself on what I'd missed out on. Come last September with my first ever streamed fight (Mosley-Mayorga, which was to be my first ever downloaded fight as well), it's all been good.

So I guess I turned hardcore after Mayweather-Hatton. Come Calzaghe-Hopkins, I was totally obsessed. Although even before then, I was enjoying the free stuff they showed in 2006 on ITV with Calzaghe-Lacy and Calzaghe-Bika. Even the Audley fights were OK to watch!

Chris Eubank, Lennox Lewis, Nigel Benn, Prince Naseem, Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao

Watching Roy Jones with my grandpa was epic.

[vercingetorix3]

I lost 60 lbs. because of boxing after watching Mike Tyson videos and playing Fight Night Round 3.

Then, I see some douche named Mayweather talking **** about De La Hoya, and I was thoroughly entertained. Then I got HBO at my apartment, and the rest was history.

The first fight I ever watched live was Calzaghe-Kessler.
