first time i saw pac was oscar-pac i was in a hotel but they were showing it there on ppv, lol this was probably his peak when it comes to speed, i thought he was unbeatable.


i remember my dad getting pissed after pac-hatton $60 for 2 rds

i became a full blown pac fanboy

after watching shane-margs i became a mosley fanboy and thought he would actually beat mayweather lol

I saw some videos of Ali when I was a kid and I read some books of his in the library. I liked how he stood up for what he believed in. (Refused to fight in a unjust war, threw his gold medal into the river) Then when I was in high school, Tyson and Roy Jones Jr was big and we just got internet at the house. I started looking up fighters and one thing led to another.

Looking at my Fathers amateur boxing trophies (just 2) & seeing my Father watching boxing on TV and slipping the punches in the 70's, then when Howard Davis Jr stopped by our house in 1982 to visit my Father who he had not seen since he was a kid. every since then I was hooked.

Roy Jones vs James Toney. Watching them talk **** to each other leading uptown the fight, then seeing RJJ do the chicken move and knock Toney down had me hooked. I saw some heavyweight fights before that, but that really made me a fan.

Seeing Sugar Ray Leonard fight in the early 80's. I was a kid back then and Mike Tyson followed him up and I've been in love with boxing ever since.
