    For me, it's Muhammad Ali, I grew up with him and he never failed to amaze. Fights with Frazier, Foreman and Norton defined an era and one of his greatest wins came at the tail end of his career when he managed to outfox Shavers, the chin wrecking bulldozer of the 70s.

        My earliest memory of boxing was Steve Collins vs Benn, I was 5 years old in 96' and that fight was huge in Ireland! I remember my Dad and brother watching the fight in the local pub, place was literally packed and the atmosphere was electric!

            I never really loved boxing until I saw carlos molina fight. Truly was a spectacle and I dropped my drink in awe of what was unfolding before my very eyes.

            I was officially hooked on boxing when I saw miguel vazquez fight. That's when I fell in love with the sweet science.

                    I'd like to thank Julian Jackson and Terry Norris for introducing to this sport. All the little fights on nbc back in the day. Trinidad vs blocker, Camacho Jr, Duran, Chavez Sr, Michael carbajal the Barcelona Olympic boxing team, Roy Jones, finito Lopez and everyone I might have forgotten
