fights that made you a boxing fan

I'm taking the 5th amendment on this one....ld

 

Mcguigan/Pedroza.
Bruno/Smith.
These were the first fights that I looked forward to.

 

Johnson-Willard?

 

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

 

yep more or less the same,put swift,pat barrett,benn ,eubank and many more from the 80's and 90's and it was awsome:thumbsup

 

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.

 

Hagler-Mugabi for me, realised then that he was not the lead singer of Hot Chocolate

 

The Benn, Eubank, Collins era got me hooked around my early to mid teens.

 

Never had one fight, just took to it generally, before i was bought football boots i had pair of boxing gloves.

 

Tyson vs Lewis.

 

Cut from the same cloth...:good

 

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

 

:good :yep :deal

 

Ha ha ... If he was id have bought his records... remember thinking who was this guy - i was only 12 !... and then shadow boxing in the bathroom very badly pretending to be marvelous marvin.... then from about 25 modelled my haircut on his :good

A real hero of mine Hagler ....
