What is your earliest boxing memory?

[Soldier01]

I remember hearing some wierd noises coming from my parents bedroom during the mid afternoon when I was very young....

I opened my parents door and there was my dad pounding my mother doggystyle in front of the TV...boxing was on.

I asked my dad who was fighting and he said Greg Haugen and Viny Panzienza...he told me too go downstairs and he would be there in a minute so we could watch the rest fo the fight.

My dads the ****in best!

THAT **** WAS HILLARIOUS...

Yeah my pops is one special son of a ***** there is no doubt about it!

Meeting Marvin Hagler at a Boston Breakers game in 84.

Mine has to be when I was about 11 years old come 9 odd years ago of Chris Eubank with his dramatic entrances to the boxing ring with Tina Turner riddems pumping in the background. WWE wrestlers would of been proud of his entrance. Even though the man was a complete bellend he was a great showman and a great boxer.

Sugar Ray Lenard vs Hagler...I dont know which one but I know I had to be about 6or7yrs...My grandmother had a bunch of people over and they were into the fight heavy..she let me sit in....I just remember sugar started doing that dancing **** on hagler...it tripped me out....

if it wasnt for Eubank boxing would not be anything like it is today.

Yep, thats common knowledge. Somebody else on here wrote a Barry Hearn quote "There's no doubt Eubank completely changed the face of boxing."

Nope, Ray "Windmill" White is by far the earliest memory on this board.....

i remember watching tyson-mcneely and tyson-holyfield when i was really young...my grandfather was big into boxing.

Ali vs Spinks I.

I must have seen him fight before because I knew who he was and kept asking my dad why he doesn't knock Spinks out, why isn't he fighting back?

Unfortunately, seeing my hero fall prey to age and ill-conditioning to an undeserving fighter is seared on my memory stronger than anything I'd seen before. I'll never forget the tears in my eyes and the hurt in my heart as dad just said, "Old Ali underestimated him."

That was my first glimpse that even heroes are human and subject to failure....and so was Ali.

I was 7.

i remember having a silly little red punching bag on a short pole sticking out of a flat metal thing that you stand on. It was a boob boom mancini toy punching bag. and i also remember throwing the indestructible original nintendo controller and punching the tv screen when i'd play punch out too.
