I think for me it was Audley Harrison in 2000 Olympics.

Mike Tyson, and playing "Mike Tyson's Punchout" on Nintendo. Besides that I would say Evander Holyfield when he first fought Rid**** Bowe. Once I saw that fight with my family on PPV, I was curious to learn more about the sport and it's rich history.

Yankee Sullivan stories.

These fighters turned me into a boxing junkie.. ive ditched peoples’ weddings to watch fights. Ive ditched hoes too for boxing.

I love Boxing just as I love money and poosie.

What was it like watching the guy who got you into boxing get annihilated time after time in the pros? Did it shape you into the fan you are today in some way? not making fun. I’m genuinely curious.

And Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley 1 was one of the first fights I've ever watched, I was hooked after.

My Opa boxed before the war. I read about an Ali fight, the one with the liniment on the gloves before I ever saw a replay of his fights on tv. My classmate in elementary school was Donny Lalondes brother. He put up posters for the Leonard fight. I took one home and asked my Dad if it was anything? “Yes son it is”
