    I I'll never not like the Pats, Celts, Bruin or Sox...

    But..

    I totally agree with boxing fans being as we are due to the dwindling popularity...

    I've had like 6 people tell me this year(tell me you haven't got this...) "You're like the only person I know that watches boxing"...........

    "Watches boxing".......... Like it's a fucking sitcom... No, I don't watch boxing. I marvel, critique, and am in awe at most of the things that take place... No, I dont "watch"...

    People that aren't boxing fans will never understand... I don't expect them to... Nor does it matter to me... I love my sport. Period.
    I don't know anyone who is as interested in boxing as I am (in real life), and I'm relatively indifferent compared to some people on here. Actually, I can think of one casual boxing fan I know. One. And he's a casual fan because of the first Contender series.
    That's the saddest thing I've read in a while... Like not "Anne Frank" sad... But sad none the less.

    Yup, Jessie Brinkley is the reason he has a passing interest in the sport of boxing. Jessie motherfucking Brinkley! I need a drink.

    99% of the time if I like a fighter I follow them through thick and thin.

    I think it's easy to have fighters as your hero's but the problem is we forget they are human at times and when they make human errors we come down harder on them than we should.

    The only fighter I ever went 'off' was Naseem Hamed - went to most of his fights (paying money that was scarce at the time) - met him one day and he snubbed a hand shake and looked at me like I was dirt. A smile - a wave anything would have made my day. What a tw*t.

    My friends son is 8 years old and he asked me the other day if boxing was pretend like wrestling... I have since sat him down to watch more than 20 fights in an attempt to begin his education
