How do you start having a passion for boxing?

Yeah i think if I had never met him i would've been a fan.
I met him twice when i was fairly young and he just totally blanked me and my dad, looked the other way like we were ****.
After that i always hated him and routed for Benn.
Did you see that series Gladiators when Benn and Eubank had to do old style gladitorial events against each other. It was class Benn won and Eubank couldn't handle it. I cant find any footage but it's worth seeing if you can find it.

Yes man, I saw that! There was genuine rivalry still there at that point. Crazy.

Those guys have got a lot of respect for each other, though, no doubt.

I think after the fights they had you would have to!!!!
Reply to your previous post, yes Michael Watson was amazing, i can remember waitning up to watch the eubank watson fight actually thinking eubank was going to lose. Sad what happened to him but it's a testiment to the mans heart what he has achieved since then.

Who knows what Watson would have gone on to achieve... all-time great legend status, probably. He was looking Phenom in the Eubank rematch

My dad was an asst. trainer under kenny weldon and helped train a couple of champs, and also had lots of boxers as friends. I watched all that fights with my dad and bros when I was about 8. Been stuck. I have get togethers here at my house with my 4 bros and friends every big fight, alost every Saturday. My place is the place to chill.

I don't recall ever watching fights with my grandfather, but he grew up in South Boston and was a HUGE Marvin Hagler fan, and also watched the big fights of that era. I remember him always talking about Ali and Leonard as two of the best he'd ever seen.

One day, I turned on HBO and I saw a show: "Countdown to Hopkins-Taylor II" and I watched it, and since there was so much coverage of the first fight, I said "Man, this guy Hopkins is really slick." Since then I've loved watching boxing. The Countdown show's build-up really gave me a funny feeling inside and made me psyched to see what happened in the fight after that.

i remember my dad having big boxing parties when i was little and me and brothers had to go to bed early because everybody would be drunk, stoned and probably coked out. Well, i remember in 87, i was 4, i got the balls to sneak out my room and watch a fight which happened to be leonard vs hagler. Ever since then i loved boxing. Just the build up and pure excitement of watching 2 boxers is like no other sport.
