[elgranluchadore]

i hate to admit it but de la hoya

[Too_Slick]

Osca De La Hoya
Erik Morales
Roy Jones Jr

whenever De La Hoya fought, a family kick back was always in place, idk y, they just liked haning out when oscar fought.

Iron Mike, and most of the 80's fighters really caught my eye in terms of talent.

I got into Boxing at a very young age. My uncles would always have fight parties and I would be there with them checking out the Matches. I remember I was like 4 yrs old the first time I saw Mike Tyson. I was like HOLY ****!!! This mother ****er is crazy!!! Eversince then I've been in love with Boxing.

[The Surgeon]

Iron Mike Tyson. The first time i saw him live was when he had came outta jail and took out Peter McNeeley, the excitement and hype around him returning to the sport was huge and i was a fan even as soon as i saw the staredown!

Mike Tyson, when he was huge during end of the 80ies and early 90ies.
I didn't get to watch any actual fights back then and don't even remember if I actually was aware of the Buster Douglas loss (I was only 8 back then), but I was a fan nonetheless, a little kid impressed by how popular that guy was.

Later on, I became fan of Vargas, De La Hoya, etc..., but it really started when boxing became big in Germany (Henry Maske, Axel Schulz, Dariusz Michalczewski, the Rocchigianis, Sven Ottke,...) and a lot of live events were broadcasted on TV (I'm from Austria, but we have a lot of German channels).
Nowadays with the internet this is almost a non-argument, but back then there was not much to follow without anything on TV and this started to really get me more into boxing even though none of these fighters were ever among my favourites.

In 1993 watching live Felix "Tito" Trinidad KO'ing Maurice Blocker.

If you didn't like Tito or respected him. Then you just didn't like boxing period.

I know it’s already been said numerous times but without a doubt “Iron” Mike Tyson.

The man was a human wrecking machine with bowling balls for fists.

Co-sign, just about every Tito fight had me on the edge of my seat…

My first favorite fighter was Livingstone Bramble, i was a kid so that name just sounded BAD AZZ to me.
Ofcourse i remember watching the big wigs like SRL, Hagler, Hearns and so on. But Bramble made me a real fan of the sport. (ABC Wide World Of Sports)....Those were the days man.

He was'nt a super star, nor was he as good as the super stars, but he had heart.
With the crazy braids and that mean looking mug, he was bad azz to me at the time.
He went on to become champ, since then i was hooked.

The first barrera and Morales fight from there on I was hooked..............
