How would you categorize yourself??
A) A hardcore Boxing Junkie who knows about all the fighters from Minimumweight to Heavyweight.. The type who misses out on wedding and birthday parties to watch a good ole fight..
B) Once an avid fan but now follow the sport part time.. More like an interest than passion..
C) Casual observer
D) Fairly new to the sport.. noob
There should be one in between A and B for big fans that dont pay attention to the smaller weights.
i could give a rat's ass about spit-weight, :), straw weight, etc. i hate watching little pip-squeaks hopping around like fucking mexican jumping beans (no pun intended) and seeing a ref intervene who looks like King Kong or Godzilla walking through Tokyo in those movies, and knowing that the punches are landing like raindrops in a driving windstorm, and even if a guy lands 40 power punches in a rund, the other guy keeps hopping up and down like nothing happened, and most of all i hate knowing its gonna be a 12 round fight of this same hopping and jumping and throwing these gnat-punches, or maybe mosquito-punches.
Stubborn and dedicated. In terms of what fans must endure at times in poitics and bs...I fancy myself a Tex Cobb. I won't leave boxing even if she throws all of my possessions on the front lawn and strikes a match.
who is that girl at the bottom of your posts with the sword?
I'm a serious boxing fan in that I watch all the fights I can and believe I know enough about the sport, but I don't pretend to be as hardcore as some nor pretend that I spar. I am very much like Larry Merchant except I am younger. Just an enthusiastic follower of a sport that he loves and a fondness for the occasional tipple.
Your a good man Miles. ;DQuote:

One that want's to be a boxer!
I am 5 foot 11 inches.....have a shift work job and I am a family man
Job Biscuit (I will have a fiver on number 21)!!!
eh eh!!!
yep am a bit in between A and B.
Don't like watching the little guys and don't like watching the journeymen (unless they are fighting an up and comer who's got people raving of course) and don't care to watch the domestic guys who aren't going to make it on the big stage. Or Prizefighter - though did watch when Audley was in it ! And am getting to stage where I can't be arsed watching fights where people are pretty sure its going the distance . I know the outcome could be different but thats way I feel - and of course we have to stay up till stupid o'clock in UK to see it.
My knowledge is certainly not what it was 6-7 years ago and there are many big fights now I don't get to see if I'm not quick enough on youtube before they get removed the next day.
Bee.
I will miss a wedding or party for a big fight mind
i missed my works do (free bar free meal) at a very nice hotel to watch Hatton v Mayweather
as i have missed several parties to watch fights
I also train in 2 boxing gyms and spar in both and have my first fight on November 25th
i would say i am somewhere between a and b
Hardcore boxing fan. One who isn't blinded by the nationality of British boxers, too.
