    This post tells me you're ALi, except for the lack of typos.

      My grandfather was and still is a huge boxing fan, he boxed in the Navy back in the days...he got me into it. I remember growing up, our favorite fighter to watch was Julio Cesar Chavez.

      He never forced me to watch, but being around him, it seemed natural, and I've been a fan ever since.

              Watching fights with my dad when I was a kid. We would get a ppv once in a while back then.

              Funny thing is, he's just a casual boxing fan. He prefers futbol, but that's what got me into it.

                Mayweather Jr got me interested. I came here by accident and i noticed everyone and their mother was hating on a guy named floyd. So i figured he should be very good and has i was never into that looks makes fans mindset i took Floyd for his skills. Since then i have many more fighters of which i'm a fan, even more than Floyd like Pacquiao, Dawson, Haye, Marquez and others who i always enjoy seeing fight like Cotto, Margarito or Pavlik

                  My parents used to always order PPVs and I've pretty much been a fan since. That was when I was like 8.
