How long have you been following boxing for?

Since about 1960. The first pro fight I remember going to was Clay-Jones in Madison Square Garden.

 

I've been watching boxing for about 30 years now. I've watching boxing since elementary school.

 

I started following boxing religiously after the Mayweather-Hatton fight. I guess that got me into it.

 

Idk. I followed it kinda from Mayweather/Ortiz till Pacquiao/Marquez 4 (only watched them two though). After Pac's KO, I stopped watching. However, Mayweather brought me back with his fight with Maidana. I only watched him though. Then, before Pacquiaos fight with Algieri, I began watching boxers beyond them two and have been since.

I'll put less than a year because I didn't start religiously watching a ton of different boxers until October/November.

 

Since about 2000. Called Ward.

 

Since around 2004, but I remember also watching Lewis Klitschko in 2003.
In the beginnings, Gatti-Mayweather and Cotto-Torres were the two fights that impressed me the most at the international stage.

 

I followed Ingemar Johansson from 1954 or 1955. It´s been 60 years now! I saw him defeat Henry Cooper in Stockholm 1957. I´ve seen many great boxers come and go. Clay, Leonard and young Tyson were great to see. A couple of years ago I happened tot see a new guy, probably the best I’ve ever seen. He´s making tomorrows history today! So now I´m watching boxing again.

 

First fighter I remember watching was Naseem Hamed then Ricky Hatton, I grew up in pubs so they always had them on the massive screen, been compelled by the squared circle since then, everyone in the pubs used to go ape**** when the hitman put the gloves on. One ricky hatton still echoes in my ears lol. Over time I started immersing myself into each era, still aeons for me to watch, read and appreciate before I have even a semblance of knowledge that many here have.

 

About 15 years. I've see about one full cycle of pro careers. I saw the old stars go, the new ones rise, and now I'm seeing it again. I'm still learning and being surprised.

 

Started watching in the late eighties, during Tyson's hey day. I even turned in a paper on him in high school; it was about him not bringing one of the belts with him into the ring, I can no longer remember which belt or what the beef was all about. Anyway, I started boxing myself at the same time. But I only sparred, never fought, thanks to my mom. You could say that my mom made me quit.

 

I really wish I was aware of boxing when Pacquiao and Mayweather were in their primes. Youtube is awesome to view their younger days, but it just isn't the same. I wish I could've experienced their hype, their climb, the word's reactions after their best wins...

 

30 years.
Ali-Holmes was the first fight I saw.
But I didn't really get into boxing until 1985, '86

 

I'm surprised all these old timers know how to use a computer! Lol kidding.

I haven't been following long, I've watched fights here and there when I was younger but never actually followed. I'd say about 7-8 years, but I was a casual for the first couple of years. No one in my house watched boxing when I was a kid so it was "out of sight, out of mind."
