As a kid I only followed boxers whom my uncles followed the very first boxers I liked on my own was this man....

Before Naz it was him.

Jorge Paez a true showman were'nt he in circus at one point

Frank Bruno and Chris Eubank were my favourite fighters growing up, then Nigel Benn.

To be honest growing up in the UK 20 years ago without Sky and without the internet you just never got to see fighters from overseas. Only the big names like Tyson, Ray Leonard, Hearns, Hagler and Duran were well known back then.

Spot on and as a kid I got a chance to see the circus...
I was living in Mexico and going to school there...
By this time he was already boxing but I met his mom 2 sisters and some cousins....

His nickname 'Maromero' translates to the 'Sommersault'

CC mick i was a Massive Naz fan aswell he was pure entertainment from enterance to a ko finish

when i wa really really young, i remember waking up in the middle of the night, because of som noise, and on tv tyson vs bruno was about to start, i cant remember the year excatly, but that really made an impression..

always thought of tyson, as beeing one of the most skillfulled boxers ever, alot of people only talk about tysons power, but the speed, his reflexes, his movement and his timing is really something people tend to forget... for a guy of his size was simply amazing..

Another one for me was Boom Boom Mancini,wasnt the most technically proficient fighter,wasnt the fastest fighter,but he had the absolute heart of a lion
Also adored Larry Holmes,I might have been the only person not named Larry Holmes,that thought he was going to kick Cooney's butt.Hated the Ali/Holmes fight,because it was one of my idols at the end of his road,and a burgeoning new one
Everybody knew what the result of that one was going to be,and I for one didnt want to see it

Hero when I was growing up was Michael Carbajal, fire running through the veins and all, did wonders for the lighter divisions.

Always liked watching Riddick Bowe fight, cause I was really into wrestling at the time, and shit seemed to go down every time he fought.
