Barcelona 1992. A young Mexican named Oscar de la Hoya.

That also made me more excited about the sport. When I saw Trinidad beat Blocker I was really hyped about boxing and got my ring subcription then.

I watched Tyson when I was Eight and became interested. The fights that got me hooked where Buddy McGirt-Simon Brown and Hector Camacho - Greg Haugen. Then started watching ever old tape and fight I could see and read about. With all the young guys on here just wondering what got you hooked.

I first got into boxing watching Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed all them years ago.

Sugar Ray and Thomas Hearns. Wow what a great fight. That's what got me interested. What sealed the deal was Ray Mercer KTFO Tommy Morrison.

Nigel Benn/Rod Douglas amateur fight in 1985 on Grandstand, and then Tyson coming through the ranks on Grandstand.

Quite a few fights.

The one that made me literally cream my pants though was Benn v McLellan.
