What made you a boxing fan? Why do you love the sport?

Bumped, for the new posters.

The Rocky series is what started it for me. It wasn't until I was 14, when my friend showed me a YouTube video of the Rocky IV training montage and I loved it.

Watched the whole series. Then started catching a lot of Holyfield fights on ESPN Classic. A lot of 80's stuff.

Went to a bar when I was 17 with my dad to watch the Pacquiao vs De La Hoya fight. I liked the atmosphere in the bar. That's when I really started following it.

Sugar Ray Leonard on ESPN classics or whatever it was got me into boxing, Mike Tyson made me look forward to it, and super excited about it.

Bump of peace for the new posters.

I love fighting and sports in general so boxing is the perfect scapegoat

saw andre wards career set and loved that clinching, headbutting, low blowing type of style. he does things that you never see other boxers doing. i call him the technician. when he jumps head first into you without even throwing punches so he smashes your head with his...the sweet science.

Julian Jackson - I've still never seen a ko like what's produced to this day
and Evander Holyfield - his will and determination

I turned from casual to hardcore fan after watching the Mayweather-Cotto fight. I thought Mayweather ****** and couldn't figure out why he won. Then I watched it again, and again, and again, and it dawned upon me... That guy is a ****ing genius...

Been hooked ever since.

Benn vs Eubank

Early Tyson

Late Hagler.

Morales vs Barrera probably made me hardcore. Erik is probably my favourite fighter.
