Who was the first boxer you liked?

Hagler and RJJ

 

Ali,Hagler,Hearns,Tyson
I know the question is "the first" but I grew to love them at the same time,Ali and Tyson because they were the first ones I found out about and Hagler vs Hearns "The War" was the first fight that I ever watched

 

Mike Tyson

 

2004 Amir Khan Olympics

Without this I would not be a boxing fan

Where the hell is this mans MBE?
& where the hell is Fury's?

 

Koki Kameda

 

Frank Bruno

Was gutted when he lost to Tim Witherspoon

Kirkland Laing soon after and then Nigel Benn

 

Tyson Fury.

I think I was looking up something about Mike Tyson for no particular reason, got some search results for this other boxer also named Tyson, which seemed odd, watched a Tyson Fury interview, and immediately liked the man and started following boxing. Probably around 2014 because I remember some references to the Chisora rematch.

 

Frank Bruno.

 

Anthony Mundine

 

Muhammad Ali. The first memory I have of seeing him fight was against this Japanese karate bloke - Antonio Inoki in 1976. They called it a draw. The karate bloke spent 15 rounds kicking Ali in the legs & immediately hitting the deck as he did so Ali couldn't belt him back. Went the distance without Ali landing anything of consequence.

 

I was late to the sport. First fight I watched start to finish was Mayweather V Marquez and I was absolutely mesmerised by Floyd. Anyone who said he was boring was wrong because I was as casual as they come but thought it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever seen. The man was a wizard.

After that I became a big fan of Calzhage and David Haye. I thought Dave was good enough to beat Wlad and Vitali to become undisputed. Imagine how pissed off I was watching him flap around the ring like a fish against Klitchko.

 

pacquiao

 

Oscar de la Hoya, before the fishnets of course.
