Marquez v Diaz. I grew up around boxing, but that fight really sparked a flame and I've been eating this up since.
The fight you watched that made you fall in love with boxing.

Seriously though, the fight that made me love boxing was Holyfeild Foreman, saw some earlier stuff but that was the first time I was old enough to know what was going on.Comment

LOL well in comparison to Floyd, Ray did take this fight after a 3 yr hiatus, a detached retina, and also fought at a weight he'd never fought prior to that fight for the title. Though hagler had seen his best days by then, it was still a dangerous fight for Leonard who people thought was crazy to fight Hagler right away.Comment

Wiki:
Frazier went to New York to face the 19-year-old Tyson, who was to inflict an even more humiliating defeat, clubbing Frazier unconscious in just 30 seconds - Tyson's quickest KO. Many in the sports press criticized father/trainer Joe Frazier for changing him from a boxer to a puncher, a style many thought did not suit Marvis, who was successful as a boxer in the amateurs.Comment
