    now im sure this thread has been done before but nostalgic memories make me an even bigger boxing nerd and ultimately make me happy. get happy and share.



    for me, being a product of the 80s, it was michael carbajal, jesus salud, and of course tyson.

    definitely Morales, PAC, JMM and Barrera their rivalries give boxing color and excitements.

    Chavez! First time I seen him fight was against Camacho and it was amazing, he fought with so much pride.

    I think it was back in the day when my father forced me up for Holyfield vs. Bowe I... it was simply amazing.

    Took me till 2002 to become a solid, intense fan.. and I've been watching basically every fight live since...

    It was around 1990-91 when I started becoming a hardcore fan, no one particular fighter, but a series of fights and fighters that got me hooked.

    Tyson-Douglas
    Chavez-Taylor 1
    Holyfield-Foreman
    Tyson-Ruddock 1-2
    Toney-Nunn
