26, first memories are Benn v Eubank 2 and Benn McClellan, Benn was my fav fighter and still is one of my all time favs. Lost interest during my mid to late teens for obvious reasons :) but then started following Calzaghe's career. Always watched Lewis, Calzaghe & Naz fights but the good year of 2007 rekindled my love for the sport and now I read up on news everyday as I always did with footie. In fact, I follow boxing a bit more than football now as I find football news really boring, just love watching and playing it.

Im 19, I have been into boxing since I was 11 and started training at 12. I had 11 amateur fights (10-1) before I moved away from my gym and I never got back to it.

The first fight I remember watching was Paulie Ayala-Bones Adams I, great little fight, but I was pissed at the decision!

I'm clicking any poll which lists 26-35 as an age group, I hate this new 24-34 I've noticed popping up, you can't group me in the next group!

I'm 36 next month! Shit the bed.

First VERY clear memory of watching a fight, being aware of significance etc was McGuigan v Pedroza, stayed up late for that one!!!!

How old are your lungs and liver though? :lol:

I'm just ahead of J at 37.

Remember going to school and trying to explain how awesome it was how Lloyd Honeyghan had beaten Don Curry and not a single person understanding. Not much has changed, to be honest!

41, another hooked by the golden age of the 80s. Had a soft spot for Hearns back then even though deep down i knew Hagler was better. As the years go by, I realise just how lucky we were to have so many good boxers seemingly willing to fight each other so readily.
