    What fight, or what fighters are responsible for your love of boxing?

    I have watched boxing since the late 80´s when I was a kid, but it was Tito Trinidad and Roy Jones Jr that made me really love boxing in the late 90´s. The fights that I will allways remember most are the Barrera vs Morrales wars.

    Of the old time fighters, I love SRR, Pep, Kid Chocolate and Gavillan, Ezzard Charles, Armstrong, etc. Of todays fighters, its RJJ, Barrera, Trinidad, and Morrales.

    Like many in my generation, it all began with the great Muhammad Ali. The fight that REALLY got me hooked, though, was the first Leonard-Hearns fight. After that I was at TOTAL diehard, and have been ever since.

    I had always been interested, but strange as it sounds the original Fight Night game got me truly hooked.

    I can remember the fuss at the time of Bruno v Witherspoon......... My father was right up for it & I can remember him talking to my uncle & grandad about it..........It sort of started from there.................Then Mr Tyson came on the scene & that was it !!!!!!!!
