Recently I got tired of waiting for one of these "hard to give back things I've lent to them" friends of mine (I think everybody knows at least one or two of these specimens) to return the first 26 episodes of Hajime no Ippo to me so, I downloaded them again, and, of course, I couldn't resist to start watching the first episode again. That was my perdition. After watching the whole series again my only thought is:

I want moooooooooooooooooore!!!!!!!

If you haven't watched this anime I suggest that you give a try at least to the first episodes. I think it's worth the effort.
