 I don't mean this kick fighting s**t- I mean the sweet science.
Back in the 70's and 80's I was an avid boxing fan.

Ali,Frazier, Marvin Hagler (who shoulda beat Sugar Ray-I lost money on that fight!) and Mike Tyson-who had no finasse-he was a killer!I like Ali- but Smokin Joe was the man!

Tyson gave not an inch-he was an animal!

It's all over! Good-bye!

I was a fan until the Tyson/Holyfield ear fight soured me on the whole thing. Haven't followed it since. Of course, I'm an Ali fan.

One of my co workers is always trying to persuade me that had both of them met in their prime that Tyson would have destroyed Ali. Me, I have my doubts on that one. Tyson was an animal in the ring, but Ali was for me the much smarter fighter.

I used to watch Baseball on TV and at different parks.  Boxing or football or golf or tennis always bored me.

Not a boxing fan.  What it does to people over time is horrible.  Ali was so out of it in his later years I'm not sure he's figured out he's dead yet.

I dunno-you can dance for only so long. Mike would just walk in and beat your brains out. Don't get me wrong- I love Ali-he's the MAN-but Tyson was Godzilla.
I seen Tyson take major shots to the head-and it was like nothing happened. He had that thing that when he got hit-just p**sed him off. He would put his weight into that punch-BAM! Out go the lights!
Ali was a great technical boxer-Tyson was a power puncher.
George Foreman was also a power puncher. Took Ali down. Foreman could also take a punch-brush it off like a fly.

Back in the 1970s (before pay-per-view) I loved watching boxing matches on TV with my father. I remember the anticipation of a big fight scheduled for a weekend night on network television. My dad and I would sit in the living room and watch Ali, Foreman, Frazier, etc. I remember watching the fight when Leon Spinks beat Ali.

I also remember watching a dramatization of a "what-if?" Ali vs. Rocky Marciano fight. Supposedly, they used a computer to simulate the fight and then had Ali and Marciano act it out in a ring so they could film it. I think I saw it on PBS. It is available on Youtube now.

My Dad boxed in the army and had a fearsome right hook: he once punched someone out cold with a single punch

I watch old-time boxing at times...Sugar Ray Leonard was a favourite. Ali was the greatest. Foreman was badass. Roberto Duran was great to watch. I sometimes will watch the black and white stuff from the 50s-60s even before that...kind of lost interest in it in the 2000s but Tyson and Holyfield were memorable in the 1990s.

Never really got into boxing.  Growing up, the big draw was Tyson but I was very little.  I've gone to some bouts here and there around the city but overall, never big into it.

My era is more the UFC/MMA style.
