    I was a mad Naz fan in secondary school years. I became a boxing fan after watching mayweather absolutely tear apart arturo gatti. After that I had to know more about boxing and the greats who best exemplified the art.

    I followed Bruno, Tyson and then Naz but it was around 2003 with Alex Arthur and Scott Harrison both on the rise that I started to turn into a boxing nerd.

    Hatton vs Magee as a kid, more recently the Degale vs Groves bill turned me from a casual fan to someone willingly spending saturday nights in watching boxing

    i couldn't argue against Louis vs Schmeling or Dempsey vs Carpentier either.
    Leonard vs Duran and Hearns were also huge fights with the fighters in their primes.
    In the UK Robinson getting a boxing lesson from Randy Turpin was a huge fight too
