Your first boxing memory

Walking into a room packed with 30 people watching a small TV with Chavez knocking the snot out of Camacho.

 

Tito trinadad knocking maroyga the **** out lol

 

My first memory was seeing Mike Tyson get KO'd by Buster Douglas, and my Dad and cousing saying things like "No way, he's just faking it to get a big-selling rematch," and "That wasn't a ten count!" They were in severe denial looking back on it, haha.

 

Watching McGuigan with my Grandad who was ex heavy weight army champ and was desperately trying to teach me all about it.

I loved to watch fights with him after that and even stayed up for Bruno V Tyson 1

 

Hagler vs SRL

 

Roberto Duran crushing the excellent Ray Lampkin.That's the fight where Roberto said,"If I were in shape,they'd be taking him to the morgue."Whew.

 

makes a big impression when you got someone you look up to who boxed too, doesnt it?

my dad boxed in the army too but wasn't as successful as your grandad.

 

My earliest clear memory is arguing on the school bus about whether or not Cassius Clay could beat Sonny Liston. I said Ali will knock him out. Most of the other kids laughed at me.

 

you must be as old as me at least then.

 

I'll celebrate the 31st anniversary of my 21st birthday next month:yep

 

jeesuz i'm not that old..yet

 

Being with my dad in '45 at the old Madison Square Garden, seeing Rocky Graziano stop Billy Arnold in three.

 

I remember kids talking about Tyson mania all the time when I was a kid, but I don't think I actually saw a fight until Tyson-Douglas.

 

My first memory of boxing is Mike Tyson biting off Holyfields ear.

 

Ali cartoons on saturday mornings. Ali fights too.
