What's one thing you have done that made you realize you were obsessed with boxing?

burning cds of fights that i'm not even interested in watching. Almost like my life's work is to catalogue as much information about boxing in my brain as possible. What about buying SHowtime towatch Malignaggi?

Watching every fight new or classic, visiting this site more than my local church, and my girlfriend telling me everyday that I am obsessed with boxing!

loving the sweet science you know I new I was obsessed with boxing since I was about 5 years old and I remember watching duran vs dejesus then I would steal my mothers pillow cases fill them with sand and just have fun . and I have been hooked ever since 35 years and still obsessed.

hey come over and watch the fights this weekend ok anorak? :D

Hey Slipx, NICE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I jerked one off over a video of Mike Tyson. For Christ's sake - THIS is the crap you constantly stalk my threads to whinge about. "yo, this weak ass thread sux, post some intellectual threads just like what I do." Fuck off out of my way you little prick kid. 1. You are a weak, prideless induvidual in real life. I am not saying this out of assumption, I know it for a fact, for any strong-willed and strong-minded induvidual would never beg a moderator for 'another try' after being banned, not just a 'can I come back' but a "PLEASE RICK, THIS BOARD IS MY LIFE, YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME" type of message. It's obvious you use the board to fill a void in your life. That shit is utterly pathetic, and you are lower than an ant for doing it. 2. You lack respect for the greats of the sport. What you said about Max Schmeling is inexcuseable, I don't care how many Tyson fights you've uploaded, doing that makes the entire board look bad for not banning you on the spot for it. 3. You are a degenerate that creates useless thread after useless thread, on a journey for nothing more than attention, negative attention is fine with you, as long as it is attention. You are a prime example of why a guy shouldn't use drugs while trying to get his wife pregnant.

If there were more parents like this, the world would be a better place. thank you so much! when youre a parent that really cares being complimented on your parenting skills is the biggest compliment you can recieve! :) I appreciate that, big time!

Man, I've learned you can make all the plans in the world where your child is concerned..as to how youre gonna raise them, how you'll react to certain situations (mainly the discovery of BOYS when you have a daughter!!) and how your kid might turn out..but the way it's gone for me is my "game plan" got thrown out the window cause you just cant 'plan' much of anything, or guess how all those things will turn out. As for being a good parent, I think that all you can do is ALWAYS put your kid first..ahead of anyone and everyone, and that inculdes yourself (hell, especially yourself!!) and always be there for them with love and support. Never judge them or be too critical of what they do. Listen..I mean REALLY, really listen to them and dont ever make them think you consider what they feel 'stupid'. I've told my daughter that every single thing she feels is of major importance to me, and an example of that is me not dating. I'm single and plan to stay that way probably until she is grown. I know that sounds a little weird, but so far it's been real easy cause I've made her the focus in my life. She doesnt want another man in my life, or someone to try and replace her dad..actually, if she had her way he and I would get back together..all kids want their parents together. She knows though that will not happen, but remaining the best of friends with a healthy friendship makes her feel safe and secure. Just let her (your daughter) that she is the most important thing in your whole world..and that nothing she could ever do would be too terrible to tell you about, no matter how hard it is for her, she needs to know that she can tell you anything. Good communication is vital. I take it day by day, and try not to expect things to always go according to plan cause usually they dont! :confused: There..a little tip from parenting 101 (sorry, didnt mean to go on and on there..but you seemed a little concerned as to the type of dad youre turning out to be, so I just had to throw my 2 cents worth in there!) ;) If there were more parents like this, the world would be a better place.

The amount of boxing i've got on vhs tapes is enough proof

I had a dream I invited Mayorga over to dinner and he got drunk and punched my brother and wrecked his car somewhere down the street. This was a week before the Trinidad fight lol..YEP! I'd definately say you might be obsessed if youre dreaming about it! :D

I box all the time, I watch bascially only boxing on tv, i read about boxing all the time, and i think about boxing 24 7 when im not in the gym.

hmm Two things made me realize how into it I was... 1) Watching the Toney-Jirov fight, I was the only one in the house and I was up and yelling "knock that muther fucker out!" in the 12 round. It was INSANE. I was like, "Knock him the FUCK OUT!" 2) Watching Roy fight and being amazed at his brilliance. Watching the Ruiz fight in particular I was actually shaking and I teard up a bit when he lost to Tarver.

Since the age of 13 I've recorded countless amount of vhs video tapes of fights, that was a hint. But my last girlfriend would call me and ask what I was up to and almost everytime I would say watching a fight either on tape or on tv. She even said I was obsessed with boxing at one point. And I am, boxing is the purest sport in history. Football comes close but it will never be better in my eyes.

i pay for digital cable evry month and i can't stand tv. for me its boxing, movies or RPG's or the internet.

lol, well, thanks :) Cool on some issues maybe, but on others she wishes she could be adopted, I'd say! I'm just a bit overprotective and seldom let her out of my sight..thats bound to be a problem when she becomes a teen, I'm sure! :eek: i also have a daughter even though sh's only 4 years old, i'm already thinking way ahead of time, like how's it gonna be when she be in her teens? how should i be a father? you know... things like that pump up in my head almost evey minute. :bottle:
