    I remember vividly the night I watched a replay of Quarry-Frazier 1. The grit and determination shown by Quarry in a losing effort made me want to cheer, cry and vomit all at once. This fight reinforced my love of boxing as a spectator and inpired me to pursue it as a sport many moons ago.

    How about you guys, what fights made you want to pursue it as a career or simply strengthened your passion for the sport overall?

    It can be an amateur or professional fight. What boxing matches made you love this wonderful sport more than ever?

    In addition, does anyone see Pacquiao-Clottey having that same impact?

    Well first fight was Mayweather vs Hatton. All the drama around it and showmanship of mayweather swung me over and I really loved it. 2 years on or whatever now still loving it and hoping to see a pac KO tonight :)

    Yeah that was a good one for the first 6-7 rounds wasn't it? Hatton certainly was game and the fight really did live up to the spectacle.

    My uncle and grandpa and I watched a VHS tape of Salvador Sanchez vs. Azumah Nelson when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. The rest is history.

    Bowe-Holyfield plays a big part of my childhood as do Tyson-Holyfield, and fights from Barrera & Morales. Roy Jones-Toney really got me into this sport and so did all the 3 Sugars(SRR,SRL,SSM). I am a fan of many fighters but will never lose my love for this sport and I love her. I don't care if she's a *****!:lol:

    Hearns/Cuevas. My fellow Detroiter wins the welterweight title by brutal KO. I still smile when I think about it.
