      Hearns vs Duran.

      A man that was never ko'd in his entire career and destroying fighters left and right gets dropped cold and in only 2 rounds!

          Christy Martin because she was something the boxing scene had never seen before in her trade mark pink trunks, Floyd Mayweather also inspired me too, I thought he was so cool as a kid when he fought at Wrestlemania vs the big show LOL.

            Before then, I had no clue who FMJ was but I was more than entertained. That made me go on YouTube to see defensive highlights.

            On top of everything, I could easily see the power of FMJ punches on Big Show.

            Moreover, I was getting tired of fake wrestling anyways.

            Then there was the Ali month ESPN Classic did, now that cleared out any doubt I had left.

            I became a fan.
            I thought I'd be the only one digging Floyd vs the big show.

              No-one else has the answer "Dad"?

              My Dad loved boxing and got me into it from a young age. I was boxing before I was a fan of watching it.

              Then Mike Tyson came along and turned me into a huge fan.

              Wasn't particularly weird back then to be a boxing fan. I'd imagine a 9 year old staying up until the early hours to watch an American boxer would turn a few heads nowadays.

                Initially watching videos of the Prince online made me a fan. Ended up buying his Career DVD set as they were pretty hard to find online at the time.

                Became a hardcore fan after Mayweather vs Hatton. Stayed up for most the US cards after that, no matter how big or small the event was.
