What type of Boxing fan are you?

[brocktonblockbust]

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.

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.

Well, seein as we all belong to a boxing forum where we talk about and bitch about and argue about boxing all the time...

I'd say we are all BOXING NERDS.

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.

I pretty much agree with this. I try and see all the boxing I can and I like nothing more than watching a good tear up regardless of size/weight. Anyone who doesn't find the smaller weights interesting should look back at people like Finito Lopez and today Juan Palacios and Nkosinathi Joyi. These can all bang and are good to watch.

I must say I'd love the HW division to be the strongest division though. But that is more due to the state of Boxing. If the HW division is thriving then so is boxing. Unfortunately for us it is not.

Probably A. Big-time boxing fan. I watch most of all the big fights. At the lighter weights, I watch the big fights between guys like Donaire, Darchinyan, Mares, Agbecko, etc. I have boxed and want to get back into it. Boxing is my favorite sport, bar none. It's still just a sport though in the wide range of things in life, but it's my favorite one.
