For me it was Calzaghe, his fight with Eubank for the vacant title was like something from a Rocky movie. Plus he was able to reinvent his technique to better cope with his hands constantly breaking. The crowning glory was the Lacy fight. Almost everyone thought he was a shot fighter selling his belt to the next big thing, but he absolutely schooled him for 12 rounds instead.

Ive always had a interest in boxing right from young as Iam sure most have on here eg who was the toughest etc at school.

For me though since starting developing a serious interest in boxing within the last 2 years and it being my favourite sport now it has to be Sugar Ray Robinson the greatest pound for pound fighter ever.I absolutely love watching documentarys and old fight footage of him.

My dad and his brothers bought all the Tyson PPV’s when I was in elementary school / high school. On my own, it was Barrera - Morales, so much that I named my first boy Marco Antonio.

Howard Davis Jr visiting my father in 82 got me curious. Lighting Lonnie Smith got me very interested in watching. Roy Jones Jr. made me an addict.

Its a shame Cus died so early in Tysons career.From what I read it all spiralled out of control once Cus died and Don King got hold him. Hence did'nt give him the discipline Cus did.Though disappointed to read Cus used underhand tactics to gain an advantage with Tyson when he fought.
