    Oscar De La Hoya, he used to always be in exciting fights back in his feather weight and light weight days. I used to be forced to watch Chavez against my will, all Chavez's fights were snoozers but as soon as my dad introduced me to Oscar at the Ruelas fight I fell in love with his style.

        Dad liked the sport and allowed me to watch it when I was little. Guess he felt that it was good to learn self defense.

          My dad would always watch it when I was younger and I never got into it. Then one night when I was like 11, I watched Margarito vs Santos, Cotto vs Pinto doubleheader. Cotto became my favorite fighter and boxing my favorite sport.

                World title fights on free TV: What a concept! Watching Roberto Duran's and Alexis Arguello's title defenses without having to shell out pay-per-view bucks or subscribe to HBO and Showtime

                  My dad has been a life long boxing fan, and that's how I got into it. I saw my first match when I was 5. It was Bowe-Holyfield. Rid**** Bowe was the first fighter I started liking a lot. I've followed the sport ever since.
