Who or What Got You Into Boxing ?

[BillB]

My uncle and dad were boxing nuts.
They got me interested in it.
We always watched the Wednesday night fights.
My uncle took me to see the Patterson-Ingo II fight on closed circuit.

Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, and Leon Spinks.

Arguello, Galindez, Franklin, Corro, Antuofuermo, Hagler, Hamsho, Fletcher, Sibson, Tony Ayala, Cuevas, Mancini, Camacho, Pryor, Sanchez, prime Hearns (1984-86), Chandler, Cooney. later it was Nunn, Norris, Roy Jones (speed never goes out of fashion) and Bowe. boxing's been dead since then, a testiment to the rise in women's boxing & MMA

Zarate's fights (yecch!)

SRL, much better but eventually soured on him and his retirements, so fake & contrived

for me the ultimate experience occurred twice within five years. The first was the Tyson-Douglas fight and shortly after Taylor-Chavez even tho none of them were my favorite fighters.

the other being the Hagler Hearns fight, and just a little below was the Pryor Arguello fight
