        I got into Boxing in 1997, when Mike Bit Evanders Ear - since then, I was so curious as to what will happen, if there was going to be a 3rd fight,etc. One of my freinds was a huge fan of the sport since the early 80's, and he had a box full of VHS tapes, I went back and watched all the title fights he had, from Sugar Ray Leonard fights, to the Rid**** Bowe-Holyfield, to Oscar-Chavez. In a month, I became a huge boxing fan, and I watched all the great fights of the eithies and 90's... I then watched Tyson, Evander and Lennox Lewis''s career very closely, but it was guys like Oscar, Trinidad, MOsley and Ike Quartey, Hamed, Barerra, Morales, Venron Forrest that kept me hooked on the sport. To answer the question, it was because of Iron Mike that I became a fan of the sport.

          Mine would have to be evander "the real deal" holyfield. His win over gearge foreman sealed the deal for me. It reminded me of david and goliath. Evander's heart was what made me watch him all the time!

            Benn/Eubank era. Most of the fights were on 'council' TV. Lost interest for a while, then got back into boxing because of Ricky Hatton.
