What was the fight...

that made you love boxing. For me it was Sugar Ray against Hit Man Hearns 1. I watched it with my dad and loved it. Great fight to watch for your first one.

Tyson sealed the deal for me. I watched Leonard vs Hearns 1, that got me interested, but I was young and still playing in the middle of the road. But when I got older, I will say Tyson sealed the deal.

yea nothins came along quite like tyson and probably never will, people talk about sam peter and his power bein similar but it wasnt just tysons power that got my attention it was his character, the famous black trunks and black shoes, his young haircut wit the part in it, everythin about the man was amazing, and besides power he had amazing talent, quickness, the way he bobbed and weaved, tyson will always be my favorite, the butterflys he geneates in my gut watchin him come into the ring, simply amazing.

The way he had people beat before the fight even started. The look of his opponents face when they entered the ring. Terror.

I really didn't start getting in to the lighter weights until Lewis retired. Then it seemed most of the HW's got fat and boring. The lighter weights were showing up in shape and beating the **** out of each other. The fight that got me paying attention to the lighter weights was Gatti vs Ward 1.

Was it Barrera-Morales III? For me, it was watching Muhammad Ali on ESPN Classic. He was such a lively character with so much charisma. He was arrogant and brash, but at the same time you could root for him. While I fell in love with the fighter more than any one particular fight, the Foreman fight and the 3rd Frazier fights were the fights that I became instantly addicted to.

Ali vs Foreman got me into boxing, but Tyson Douglass got me really interested in more current boxing. I watched a bunch of fights, but it was Corrales v Castillo that got me to join this forum. Saw it live and it blew my mind.
