    Combination of the Rocky movies and the hype surrounding Benn/Eubank II made me a fan. Used to love watching Eubank as a teenager, his over the top entrances and swagger really got me hooked. Then came Naseem Hamed and that made me more than just a fan but a total addict.

    Eubank-Benn 2 and from then on I regularly watched the sky sports shows, and the big fights on ITV.

    There was no singular moment that got me into boxing. I'm 31 and been watching boxing since I was 6...it started with watching Tyson and SRL fights with my dad...

    My mate went to Hatton vs Tszyu so I bought it on PPV to see how big it was and if I could see him. Been hooked ever since. Obviously I'd seen a few fights before that but that was the big one that started it all.

    Tommy Morrison vs Tim Timoshek. It was the 39 "jeepers" that Tim uttered during the postfight interview on ESPN. I decided "this boxing game is for me!"

    Different world back in the early-mid 60's. Boxing was much more mainstream. As a 7 year old boy I argued vehemently that Ali would beat Liston.
