I transited for professional wrestling when Triple H and Chyna was hot and switched to boxing back in like 1999 when David Tua ,Ike Ibeabuchi and Michael Grant were top heavyweights ,althought i watched fighters like Marvin Hagler ,Ray Leonard ,Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson as a kid.
Mike Tyson
Julio Cesar Chavez
Mike Tyson and Oscar De La Hoya.
Both are my parents' favorite fighters. I alawys watched their fights with my entire family as a child.
When I was in High School I used to read about the greats like Dempsey, Robinson, Marciano, Louis and Armstrong to name a few so I had an interest in the sport and even thought about becoming a fighter myself and sparred with anyone who wanted to in the neighborhood. And of course Muhammad Ali came along and to be honest with you, I did not like him at all and wanted somebody to beat him. About 1969-70 I started hearing about Joe Frazier and reading RING Magazine and that did it as my first favorite fighter was Smoking Joe Frazier because I loved the way he fought like a man's man always coming forward with bad intentions wit that deadly left hook. I even tried to learn to throw mine just like Frazier. And the night he did beat Ali was a big thrill for me as Joe was my first favorite fighter. Some of my favorites shortly after that were Roberto Duran and Ruben Olivares.
Great question my friend, thanks.

Who was/were your favorite fighter(s) when you first got into boxing?
When I first started watching boxing as a kid, it wasn't quite my thing right away, but the one that actually first caught my eye was Sugar Ray Leonard.
Mike Tyson, he had a certain aura that other fighters couldn't possess. He had speed, strength, defence and a huge heart when he was in his prime. How could I not like him?
Roy Jones Jr.
when i first watched mike tyson the way he kod guys in one round he had an exciting fighting style
