    It's just nothing but pure hypocritical hate for the Mexican... don't worry about it Freddy. These hypocrites always show their true stripes.

    couple of Naz's early fights on sky, and a collection of mid nineties fights including benn-mcclellan, collins-eubank-benn rivalries, mccullough against anyone....

    I can remember watching some of Naz's fights when I was young, also remember glimpses of Tyson, Eubank and Holyfield, however, the first Fight Night game really got me into boxing. My dad bought it, he's always been a big casual fan. My interest grew and grew, and now I'm the biggest boxing fan in the house! The first fight I can remember properly watching was Ricky Hatton vs. Michael Stewart on Sky Sports Friday Fight Night. Bit of a blowout against an overmatched opponent, as I would now have predicted, but I enjoyed it.

    I think I managed to get someone else into boxing recently, a friend of mine who is an MMA fan but has never really watched Boxing, I told him to watch the Carl Froch/Jermain Taylor fight as it's on free TV and should be a good fight, he said to me after "You'll have to tell me when there's more on!".

    Balboa vs Creed 1 for me, Sylvester Stallone deserves a lot of credit for his services to boxing, how many fans did he bring to the sport through his Rocky movies.

    I think it was Iron Mike (he was an exciting boxer in his young days)but I watched the likes of mcguigan,bruno, benn.eubanks etc.I would say I'm a casual boxing fan not a diehard.I would have loved to box as a kid but my parents werent for it!I would still love to learn to box not to compete or even for self-defense just to learn the art but i'm too lazy.(I'll stick to armchair boxing)it is a grand sport and boxers get my full respect and admiration for what they do!:bbb
