    I remember watching champions forever when i was about 15, the one with Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton and Holmes an that got me hooked. Although i'd always watched the big fights when i was a kid, the likes of Benn vs Eubank, Tyson vs Bruno an Lewis vs Bruno

    Tyson vs Bruno & Watson vs Benn back in '89.

    I was only 7 but remember the build-up to the Tyson-Bruno fight and the hype surrounding it, and the Watson-Benn fight was the first fight I remember actually watching & understanding! Actually watched the Watson-Benn fight again on You-Tube last night.

    Tyson v Berbick. Watching the state Berbick was in as he tried to get up and continue after taking some of Tysons best.
