Im 23, so Roy Jones Jr really got me into it, also liked Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera, Shane Mosley as i got older.
Marvin Hagler. Didn't get a title shot until his 40th fight I believe and then got robbed.....so he started knocking out people. Nice guy to boot.....he still is my hero
Thomas Hearns Before I was into the sport, I always thought boxers were huge muscle men. He changed my mind because his body (at welterweight) was just like mine
The closest thing to a "boxing hero" that I had when I was a kid was Mike Tyson. I watched his fights obsessively back when I was about 8 years old.
SRR will always be my hero. These are the reasons why: http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/2175/nobody-sweeter-than-sugar-ray-robinson/
