[Crazylegs77]

just wanted to no what got u all into boxing, and if this can have an affect on the sort of fighters you like. i got into boxing cause my brother always talked about it (he's 12 years older) since i can remerber and he always said boxing was about hitting and not getting hit which is one of the reasons i think mayweather is my fav boxer. wat about u

not sure most likely was nothing on TV flicking around and landed on a Roy Jones Jr fight and have watched boxing ever since over 10 years now.

Back in 1970 when I was 5 years old my old man would put me on restriction if I didn't wake him up to watch a fight. I would watch all the fights with him growing up. His favorite fighters were Ali and Duran. Back in those days every fighter fought anybody.....no ducking back in the day. I can still remember the fight when Holmes fought Tex Cobb and Howard Cocell was calling that fight........that was the last fight Howard called because Holmes put a beat down on Cobb. I still think they should go back to 15 round championship fights!

I saw Tex Cobb a few years ago at Joe Fraizer's gym(its closed down now), my cousin use to box there and my other cousin and i went to pick him up. we were waiting outside and my cuz said..MR TEX COBB!!! HEY...
He was real cool, i shook his hand he had huge hands. i didnt have a camera though.
