What boxer got you into boxing?

[Impractical Poster]

Evander for me around 95ish.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Roy Levesta Jones Jr.

[Stuarty]

Naseem Hamed although i was brought up watching Benn and Eubank. When i started watching Naz in the early 90s my dad started getting me all the boxing magazines and then i joined the gym and went from there. I'm 35 and i remember as a youngster everyone in the playground were all talking about Naz...

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Stuarty]

Loved RJJ. Wish he retired after Ruiz.

I enjoyed boxing since I was a little kid (early 1980's), but Vinny Pazienza vs Greg Haugen took it to another level, Their first fight in Providence Rhode Island was like a straight up Rocky 4 war.

[Noxy]

McGuigan - he was massive in Belfast when I was a lad. Exciting as eff too.

[Betro09]

Mine is Arturo Gatti.

[vidal]

Leonard. Specifically the Duran 2 fight.

Watched it with my dad. I’d never seen anything like it.

Bomber Graham made me want to box...... such skill

[ValMar]

Ali, Frazier, Foreman................

[Tony1244]

Ali and the people he fought. And then strangely I became a big fan of Foreman after he lost in Zaire, not before.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Loved RJJ. Wish he retired after Ruiz.

Or even after Tarver 1.. .. Would have been 49-1 with the 1 DQ loss..

Had he just left it there... Imagine.

[squiggy]

One more for Ali and his biggest opponents.

[Syntax Error]

My father got me into boxing and it was watching Saad Muhammad V John Conteh that got me hooked.

I would say watching Mark Kaylor was what kept me hooked.

...I grew up watching amateur boxers and olympic champs from the Soviet Union Vyacheslav Lemeshev and Boris Kuznetsov..

"When We Where Kings"

Ali's Charisma was magical!

[Onetimeonly]

Ali, rocky Balboa and the 76 Olympic team. By the time I was 8 I was hooked and knew all the big fighters, got the mags, etc.. first favorite was Howard Davis.

[SteveO]

Muhammad Ali.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Naseem hamed

[littlepug]

Benn v Watson in 89 got me instantly hooked, I gave up Martial Arts and had my first amateur bout a few months later

[oogiebe]

Ali. Believe it or not, during his banishment. Liked boxing before, but he really made me a huge fan. Big fan of the man.

[EduardosFist]

Logan Paul

[oogiebe]

Logan Paul

[skanksta]
