    I was a casual fan of Leonard and pre-crazy Tyson back when I was a kid. Rediscovered my love for boxing because of Pacquiao.

    Tyson... specifically his 2nd fight with Evander Holyfield. The fight itself was a dud, but the incredible hype surrounding the fight is what got me hooked.. and of course later on I learned to appreciate the technical aspects of the fight game and I also got to watch a lot of Mike's earllier fights. The man was a ****ing killing machine!

    Naseem Hamed, i was 6 years old and my Grandpa bought tickets for himself, me, my dad and two of my uncles to go and see nas fight at the SECC. In the weeks leading up to the fight my uncle was showing me tapes of Nas fighting and i remember being in absolute awe of him.

    The funniest thing was that when we got to the fight we had missed most of the undercard and Nas then proceeded to knock out his oponent (Said Lawal) in about 30 seconds. My grandpa (who had paid for the tickets and took us out to dinner beforehand) had pretty poor eyesight and had brought a wee pair of binoculars with him. He was fiddling about with them and by the time he got the view on them working the fight was over! I remember him asking my dad "Where's the other guy?"! :lol:
