    I've been following boxing for about 8 years and I think this is the first HW fight I've been interested in. Lets be positive, forget that these guys both go down easier than Kim Kardashian and just enjoy a captivating heavyweight clash!

    howboutu?

    Not the best of my life but Alex Leapie v Travis Walker was a good recent one.

    The 1st exciting one I looked forward to was Holyfield vs Bowe, though I have seen a number of Tyson fights but Holyfield vs Bowe promised to be the fight, and it actually lived up to it...
    Thinking of, Perhaps we have a similar fight tomorrow, former undisputed CW Champ against the big man who can fight

    First great fight I watched live on TV was Ali vs Ken Norton 1. After that I was a fan for life.

    I guess i picked a great time to start watching heavyweight fights live in 1996, i got to see Tyson vs Bruno, Tyson vs Holyfield, Tyson vs Holyfield II, Bowe vs Golota, Bowe vs Golota II within my first year or two of watching regular fights late at night from the states.

    Those fights pretty much hooked me to the sport of boxing, since then i've been hooked and gone back and watched all the classics.
