when i was about 6 or 7 first fight i watched was tyson vs holyfield i remember hype surronding fight i remember when holyfield knocked him down i was on edge of my seat jumping around so thats basically what hooked me on boxing

[VictorCharlie]

I remember watching alot of Hearns/Hagleer/Duran/Leonard/Holmes fights with my pops as a young boy but I think the one that hooked me was 12 or 13 years old and watching the Taylor vs JCC fight. Everything you love and hate in boxing right there.

I was with my uncles. I was 5 or 6 in the mist of a party filled with beer and green smoke. The fight was Sugar Ray versus Donny Lalonde. I vaguely remember Ray being knocked down early. Later in the fight, he finished off Donny in exciting fashion. I remember Donny lost his voice in the post fight interview.

Not a fight, one man - Mike Tyson

Ali VS Spinks...It was the first fight I saw in it's entirety....Ali was BOXING back then and my Dad loved him..I used to sneak in and watch the fights before that for a minute or two before I was kicked out but I was allowed to watch that one....ALI lost but I was still hooked on it

[El Gamo]

MAB v Erik Morales 1. I saw an ad on Sky Sports where there were two guys just swinging away!! It was crazy,but gave me a huge adrenaline rush! So I did a bit of research,brought MAB's career from Ebay and have been hooked ever since!

Rocky Balboa VS Ivan Drago

Carbajal-Gonzales I

Not a fight.. 1 man.. John Ruiz

[superheavyrhun]

Well, there's only one man who figures in two of my earliest boxing memories, and that is Chris 'The Cwith' Eubank, who was such a showman, and hardly ever had a dull fight, at least, i ain't seen one or remember being one that dull.

The two fights are Eubank v Benn, but most importantly, being Welsh and caring for the first time who won, it was Calzaghe Eubank. Cracking fight, went the distance, and both men were (mostly) sporting and both really put up a really good fight.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Mike Tyson v Carl the truth Williams

[floyd tyson06]

[killersheep]

Mike Tyson v. Trevor Berbick, the first fight my dad let me watch. It was absolutely insane seeing such a dominating performance.
