    But seriously... I think it was Louis vs Schemling 2 at school.

    I don't know. I started that young. But I do remember getting excited with my father watching a Hatton - Tszyu re-run. So around 6 or 7 years old.

    I hated that fight. Tszyu would have punched a hole through him with a different ref.

    That fight would have been fouled out anywhere but Hatton's backyard. He got away with F-ing murder and was a dirty little **** Kostya was lined up for Mayweather next instead we got to see Ricky get slapped by an actual boxer in a mismatch I say that because Ricky turned it into a ****ing MMA match whenever he stepped up.
