    I remember not the actual fight but the family gathering for Chavez - Taylor I, that fight made him a superstar, everybody was talking about Chavez in Sinaloa after that....

    Actual fight I remember Chávez vs Camacho. I was probably around 10 years old and I didn’t understand why Camacho ran so much. Boxing fights in Mexico are not like the American way, and I would say that in the whole world just in America judges give so much credit at running and holding. No point deductions, nothing

        Audrey Harrison when him sprott and Skelton and Danny Williams were the best British had to offer. But I was a like Tyson fan from about 6/7 years old and compiled a little file with things I printed off at the internet shop about him and his stats and his workouts and watched his documentaries and interviews. That and Prince naseems license to thrill vhs are my first boxing memories. I'm going but you guys saying Khan make me feel older

                Tyson Vs Holyfield.

                I thought Tyson was unstoppable. I had no idea who holyfield was and I couldn't understand why he was beating Tyson lol

                I think I was in first grade

                  Wow.. I just thought back to how different life was 2 decades ago...

                  How the **** did everything change so quick.

                  Back in the clinton era... everything wasn't so extreme and fast paced as it is now lol.. i remember wearing baggy clothes and riding my bike without so much weight and pressure on my shoulders under a cleaner sky.

                  Even the air smelled better.

                      In elementary school Donnie Lalondes half brother was putting up posters for his fight against Sugar Ray Leonard. I took the poster home and asked my dad if it was anything. He assured me it was. I knew/saw/read big boxing matches before that. But this was the first time being this close to something.
