Did you become a fight fan due a particular fighter?

Prince Naseem really got me buying ppv's. That guy put on a show.

 

tyson got me into boxing

 

Sugar Ray Leonard and Mike Tyson.... and to a greater extent, Rocky Balboa.

 

I became a fan of Vargas because he was a young kid fighting grown ass men. Too bad he's like 300Ibs. now.

 

hamed for me to. hated the guy at the time, hate got me into boxing. lol. but he was entertaining and sorely missed.

 

Iron Mike Tyson. I was born in 1980 and I can distinctly remember seeing the fight against Trevor Berbick. My older brother (and his friends) bought almost every PPV and taped most of his fights. I have officially became a bigger boxing fan since the early 90's though... heh

 

My grandfather was a big fan, so no, it wasn't one particular fighter that got me interested. However, there have been several over the years that got me very excited about the sport. For some reason I have a special fondness for skinny sluggers.

 

tyson generation. tyson brought alot of people to the sport

 

My grandmother would make me watch boxing when she would baby sit me. I had a quadrapalegic (sp?) uncle who would collect pennies, eh would bet me and my grandmother pennies. He was very knowedgeble in boxing, so he won most of the time.

I was about 6 years old.

Leonard, Tyson, Chavez and Paez are names I remember hearing or watching when I was just a little kid.

 

Yeah, he also made a lot of people stop watching.

 

Yes, but I've outgrown that. I no longer try to associate with the fighters.

 

Tyson no doubt brought me and a lot of my fans into ppv buying.

 

Hatton and Gatti brought me into Boxing along with the DLH-Trinidad fight. The whole atmosphere of that fight really jump started my love for Boxing and I started following it as a very young kid to now.
