    Amir Khan On ITV.

    I just loved when he let his hands go and he's fo fast. It just made me go on to having a passion for boxing. Man I love the fact that I've found my sport!

    Froch v Pascal was my first live fight I attended too. Was a fantastic atmosphere and turned me from an armchair fan to a real nut now!

    Scott Harrison because at the time he was Scotlands only world champ and i live quite near Cambuslang so i try to claim his a local fighter.

    Rocky Balboa got me interested in boxing, and then I started watching Calzaghe on ITV and its gone on from there.

    Started growing from Mayweather-De La Hoya and then became a fully fledged harcore fan after the Cotto-Margarito fight.

    First fight I remember watching on the TV was with my grandad and it was Alan Rudkin v Walter McGowan...had a soft spot for Rudkin ever since, class act. Love of the sport consolidated by Stracey and Buchanan

    I would have to check the dates, hazily inremember mcguigan (sp) Bruno and benn being the ones I really got hyper about watching. It's a tragedy that kids can't have that father son experience as I used to, my dad teaching me thensport, he wasn't a die hard fan but knew plenty about the sport and also knew some very handy boxers, but he could go to work on a Monday knowing everyone would be talking about it. Bring it back!

    Looking back, I saw lots of memorable fighters. Add eubanks, Watson, Collins, hamed, lewis e.t.c happy days
