    Nice story.

    For me it would be watching Ali fights in the late 70's, although I'm not much of an Ali fan anymore.
    That, and my father's collection of Ring magazines.

    My father had me in front of the tv watching boxing when I was 2 months old. I have been watching boxing all my life.

    Watching Golota back in the mid 90's. I was a kid back then. Been a huge fan ever since. Unfortunently I miss a lot of fights because of my schedule, and also I don't get the channels they are usually aired on. But everytime I can I always watch. One of my 2 favorite sports.

    Espinosa was a great fighter to watch. One of my favourites from the late 80's/early 90's.
