    i was 5 years old and played mike tysons punch out......the game had me believing that he was the strongest person in the world and i had to see the real him. after watching him on tv it further confirmed my beliefs and i have loved the sport because of him ever since

    Benn
    Eubank
    Naz
    Tyson

    I remember watching Naz, Benn and Eubank around the age of ten at home on TV (those were the ****ing days) and my dad coming home from the pub Sunday afternoon with taped Tyson fights from the night before.

    Exiting times

    I always watched boxing when i was a kid, but i wasnt really a hardcore fan, i just liked to watch fights. The fight that got me really into boxing was Gatti - Mayweather. After that fight I thought to myself, man this Gatti guy really sucks. Then when i watched his old fights I got really into boxing

    Were did you get 2002 from? I can't actually remember what year Bruno v Tyson was but I was about 6-7 years old at the time. I actually started going to boxing at this point and is the only reason I knew about the bout.

    What doesn't ring true? You think i've started just making up random stories to hold conversations with people I don't even know in person? :think

    I was born in 1987, it is very likely that someone born in the UK in the late 80's knew nothing or very little of Tyson, especially if they don't follow boxing, or are only just beginning there interest.

    Loved watching Naseem. You would pay for the PPV, watch the build-up...and he would take the guy out in a round or two. :lol: My dad was fuming everytime, he was expecting a 12 round bout for the price, and Naseem's entrance was longer than the actual bout.

    I remember hearing about Tyson a lot as a kid, Ali too but Tyson the most. That's what got me interested but casually I would tune in with my brother only for Tyson. I became a hardcore fan constantly following when I supported Mosley going in the DLH fight, that was some event and I got hooked from then.

    My father got me infected with boxing.

    + I was interested in learning how to not to get beat up. It's normal for boys. Dreaming on fighting, challenges, glory, girls...

    From boxers - Golota. It was very exciting thing to watch a countrymate making it to an elite level. 6 years after the fall of the iron curtain for us. Andrzej Gołota fighting guys who you know only from TV and tales - it seemed like only other planet to us. Lights on in most of houses 2-3-4 o'clock in the morning...
