    hmm says . . .

    about 10 years on and off starting within the late Tyson era. Started boxing two years ago (as a workout). I just kept up with boxing with big fights but didn't think about joining a boxing forum until my join date. I wished I could've joined ESB sooner (I wasn't a big forum guy and didn't know about ESB).. The knowledge and other background information of past fights/fighters on these boards are amazing and very informative... granted that about 30% of the shiet on here is bs...

    As a kid i remember everyone getting excited about Chavez fighting but i wasnt really into it until my teens. I think Tito-Oscar was my first big event i actually sat and watch all the fights.

    After seeing the Morales-Barrera fight i became hooked. No one came close to him in levels of excitement IMO. He would always fight for the fans not for the W. Well of course he would want the W but he would risk just getting it.

    Man does anyone else miss him as much as me??
