How much do you REALLY know about boxing???

None of you, Bill Miller, Anthony Mora (and he wanted it written in Mora's blood, not somebody else's.)

I do use boxrec to fact-check sometimes. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that. The information is out there, so why not look it up? I've actually learned some interesting things from boxrec.

I don't know a thing about boxing. I use boxrec for facts, especially for dates and timelines. I try to watch as much boxing as I can in a week ESPN2, Vs. Telemundo, Telefutura, HBO, Showtime, Fox Sports, TyC streams, ARD streams, Sky streams, etc. etc. I have trained a bit and sparred a bit at a few local gyms. I don't know any pros.

Unless Ive got a Kid, Boxing at a certain weight or level nowadays Ive no interest of the who or when. My main concern is Why and How. Only last week I was given Tickets to a show, I went and before the Main Event I thought this is crap and left. I do the same with Soccer, I work with a few Players get free Tickets to watch them. Then 10 minutes into the 2nd half get pissed of and leave, thats something I wouldnt have done years ago, it must be my age.

You are my FNF news source!!!!....The Cable guide never tells who is on FNF and
I am usually too lazy to look it up and since you give the line up every week I usually just log on to see what you posed for the weeks fights....

You had a thread up recently that gave us the month of March.....Some cracking bouts so I know it is worth watching till April.....

To be honest I'm more interested in ESPN2 level fights over the HBO/Showtime Main Event stuff. Don't get me wrong I like the mega-fights too, but I love keeping up on prospects.

Oh for sure....I mean when you think about it most of the mega names in the sport...Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, Hopkins, JMM, The Klitschkos, PBF and those who all came about the same time wilol be retiring over the next 5 yrs or so (though I don't think Hopkins ages ever so he will be cruiserweight champ sometime in 2020) and those who right now are starting to become big names may not last for all we know they will fade as quickly as they started to rise...So it is great to see what the next batch of up comers will be...I like trying to figure out who will actually be a big name down the line

One of these days I'm going to do a fantasy boxing game, I know Galaxy did one, but I have a few twists I'd like to put on it.

I think some of it may come down to sites,box rec as somewhat of a crutch for lack of a better term.Like when some,no one around here of courssssse,talk about "remembering" certain fights or fighters.I fooking love Box rec and the record books but stating a fight line result and speaking on it as unshakable truth does not began to tell how it unfolded.The old saying,believe none of what u read and half of what u see... wait...F it.

I mean shite...not only Boxrec but U tube,other major downloads...have changed the sport and made it possible to follow much more intensely.

Loved boxing since watching it regular on 'The Big Fight Live' on ITV when I was about 10 or 11. Watching Eubank, Naz and Benn with my pot noodle and single can of beer my dad would give me.

I boxed for 3 years in my teens without really watching much boxing as it all started to go PPV and what not and my tight arsed parents were content with 5 terrestrial channels.

Once I got a job at 17 I started buying PPV's on cable and once again got massively into it.

Got the internet installed a year or so after we got cable and that was it. I was a reader of this place quite a while before I joined and I reckon about 60% of all I know about boxing came from Saddo's.

A MASSIVE thrill for me was watching all the ODLH,Vargas,Mosley,Trinidad,Mayorga fights I'd missed over the years which I got thanks to this site. Catching up on boxing and having a place to access it all gave me the buzz back in a big way.

Anyway what was the question? Jotting down my fucking life story here.........Yeah I think I know quite a lot but it's mainly due to this place. There is no better way to learn stuff other than talking to other fans.

I went to professional matches 5-6 times, mainly to see Joachim Alcine, Eric Lucas, Leonard Dorin and Bute fighting, every fights were in Montreal and one in Leipzig Germany when Lucas lost against Beyer. As for my general knowledge of boxing, I would rate myself in the middle of those following it very often, know a decent bit, have a load to learn, this place is perfect to discuss, put out my arguments, correct them when peoples give me facts I didn't consider or didn't know about and improve my culture on something I do really enjoy.

The first fight I saw on TV was a John Conteh fight. I just went to boxrec to try and work out which one but can't, it was around 1975 and I always watched any boxing on the three UK TV channels after that. The first fight I saw live was a Billy Hardy fight in Sunderland when I was 17 or 18. I got right into boxing when I was eight or so and trained for a while but had to stop due to family problems. Saw almost all the big UK fights 1991-95 live and a lot of the big American ones 95-2000, but 1991-2006ish I paid no real attention to the sport other than going to fights or watching them on telly so there's a lot I missed. I've got to say that even over the past few years when I have been paying attention I'll forget fights. Fights or fighters get mentioned on here and I'll think who the hell is that, is he any good and I'll check boxrec and think oh yeah, I've seen his last two fights.
