    My dad liked Duran, and my grandpa must have liked Joe Louis because he nicknamed me "the browne bomber" " bomber" for short. Then all my uncles called me that as well, i was the brownest of my brothers and sister, but i was told i was named after Joe Louis.

    Rocky Marciano

    Before his day but he was my grandad's favourite fighter and told stories about him. My dad did the exact same thing and it was his stories that got me into boxing.

    I absolutely adored talking boxing with my late grandad and listening his stories about how he fought in WW2.

    Steptoe and son and his lovely stories.

    Dad, Nigel Benn. Grandad, any Scottish fighter that ever beat an Englishman. He used to mention Benny Lynch a lot, I don’t know much about him or if he was any good.

    My grandfather love Ali the most.

    My father like Ali, Joe Frazier and Naseem Hamed.

    I love Ali, De La Hoya, Chris John, Pacquiao and Loma.

    Note :
    All of our family love to watch Tyson. But he is not really our favorite boxer.
