    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.

    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.

    I'll watch any goddam fight at all whatsoever. If I even see 2 drunks scuffling on the corner I run over to watch. I even watched some shitty-ass Korean broadcast last year involving some suck-ass level fighters in some kind of international Inter-Asian Boxing Federation or some suck-ass shit like that, and some lout-ass tosser's name was something like Shukhroz Abdulloyev.
