It's hard to say... Big fights always popped up that I was interested in ever since I was 6 (Tyson Bruno I)

Then there was Benn/ Eubank where in Primary school you would argue over who was best and was only allowed to like on of the fighters. (Nothing changes! )

Then there was Lewis, Prince Naseem, More Tyson... They were the fights you stayed up late for round your mates house while trying to sneak a few bears and girls in because the house was empty.

Then there was BBC fighters like Junior Witter & Esham Pickering, who I used to think was the dogs bollocks.

Then I'd finally heard of Roy Jones Jnr after seeing him batter Clinton Woods.

Then Fight Night 2004 came out and I was like '' Who is this fat dude James Toney ''

After that I gained access to the Web and all hell broke loose.


But yeah 2004 was the year. Antonio Tarver beating Roy Jones Jnr was the first boxing story I read about.
