    Saw Tyson a couple times as a kid and he was truly something out of this world. Then kind of lost interest then saw this skinny kid from Puerto Rico with a devastating left hook.....and never looked back since.

        I'll be honest.

        Ricky Hatton's WBU reign of terror.

          Watching HBO after dark with my pops after my soccer games in the 90s. Kevin Kelley and Arturo Gatti in particular. Loved watching them fight as a kid...

            I got a job at UPS. I was labeling, boxing and shipping packages all over the world. I needed to cut down on my multi-tasking in the plant so I'm now just boxing full time. I love being a boxer, boxing been very, very good to me. Long Live UPS!

              Can't remember that clear because i was only a little kid but I am pretty sure it was Hagler vs Hearns replay on ABC Wide World Of Sports (I think it was Wide World Of Sports), because Hagler was the first Boxer I was a huge fan of

                Honestly, watching Tyson and DLH with my pops back in the 90's is what probably got me started, but when I really followed boxing was Hatton Mayweather.

                As much as I clown Floyd and his idiotic fan base, that was a great fight and turned me on to boxing. Keep in mind I'm only 23

                      Watching Tyson back in the day with the old man was a reason, but the main fight that did it for me was an old ESPN fight with Mickey Ward and Emmanuel Augustus.
