Who Was Your First Favorite Fighter?

[HandSpeed303]

Eamon Magee or Mcgee, he really made Hatton the fighter he was. Hatton got a beating, but i dont think they hate each other now

That was a good fight. I really thought the countering style of Mcgee would be to much for Hatton, but he put the pressure on Mcgee's ass after the knock down! Very good scrap for a young Hatton.

Yeah it is good that they don't hate each other. I think it had more to do with the rivalry of their respective Football teams. Mcgee came out in the colors of his team correct? And you know what Hatton was sporting!

Frank Brunoooooo

[Shabba Rank$]

Felix Trinidad was my first fav.

[Biolink]

Prince Naseem.

When I was younger I used to remember him from flipping in the ring, and he piledriverd one guy he fought.

I was young so I wasn't following boxing closely at the time, and it took years for me to find out why the guy with leopard print trunks disappeared.

Erik el terrible morales

Miguel Cotto when I was 15 he was my favorite and will always be my favorite. Good thread. You always remember your first favorite fighter.

[Alex_Hayden]

An Olympic Oscar De LeHoya.

Followed by Roy Jones.

Same here. Roy and Oscar.

I can still remember the Glen Kelly fight. It was a complete mismatch but Roy was the shizzzzzz

Eubank. You were either with Benn or Eubank, and since everyone was with Benn, I went with Eubank.

I remember listening to the Calzaghe and Collins fights on radio, and being devastated, as it felt like it was the end of an era. Which it was. The Benn-Eubank-Watson era was glorious.

Mike Tyson
then
Macho Camacho
then
Titooooooo Triiiinidaaaad

[Swag Hustla]

For me it was Rid**** Bowe. A big man who knew how to put his punches together. Also the first fight I saw of him was against Holyfield and it was just a damn good fight.

Hagler, still is. He was my favorite as a kid. I haven't even started school yet and I didn't know much about boxing obviously, but I used to watch whatever my dad was watching and Hagler was all over the TV.

I remember crying like a baby when Sugar Ray beat him. It's like watching Superman or Spiderman lose a fight.

I moved on to Tyson, then Holyfield, then Jones and Tito at the same time, but eventually back to the Marvelous one.
