My dad got me hooked on boxing watching Muhammad Ali, except he got so freakin' mad.... because he just wanted somebody to hit him....so he would shut the hell up!. He got so into the fight that my mom even got excited... and she was always so calm.... she'd be shouting "hit him! come' on! just hit him...

My favorite though was Roberto Duran. I used to watch him KO guys after playing around. I was the one shouting for Duran to KO Leonard. I guess I'm partial to the brawler style rather than the boys that dance.

I've been hooked on Manny Pacquiao since 1997 in the Philippines, seemed like he was knocking everyone out in the first round. I hadn't been following boxing from the mid 80's till I start watching Pacquiao because of a lot of overseas work.
