Anyone get kinda annoyed when poeple talk about boxing?

i know what you mean and it does my head in,i was trying to explian to a guy that mannys win over hatton was no fluke and hes a great fighter but the guy would have none of it,he said the black amercian guy was lucky to beat hatton because the ref kept holding hatton back in the early rounds or he would have battered the black amercian,oh yea by the way he didnt actully know mayweathers name and thought manny just got lucky with one punch,by the end of it i called him a ignorant cunt and told him to fuk off but he still wouldnt give pbf or manny any criedt for thier wins.haha

i find it amusing actually. and enjoy helping fill some gaps in knowledge where i can.

theres nothing on this planet that i hate more. and that is pac fans..im filipino but i hate people who watch boxing because of pacquiao and think they know the sport..i mean yes. pacquiao is a badass and is only once in a lifetime. its understandable that he has filipinos going crazy..my girlfriends cousin is a pac fan. i cannot stand her, haha

I don't think that boxing will ever be a mainstream sport as it was 80 years ago but I think it's great that boxing is picking up fans. A few of these new people will remain fans long after their idols are gone but most of them will just fade away. Still, the way I look at it, the more boxing fans the more demand there will be for good fights. THEREFORE Nuture them along by recommending great fights. "Oh you like Pac? Have you seen -- whatever you think would be a good next step. When you meet them you are the ambassador to boxing. Yeah, I know I waxing poetic now, but still -- the more boxing fans the more fights there will be. So, let's rope them in.

That annoys me, you only see those people when big fights are made or somebody from their area is a fighter. I hate it when casuals do it too, I was in the store the other day and I said something about boxing and the cashier kept saying he cant wait for Pacquaio vs. Merryweather. MERRYWEATHER? Haha, that is exactly what some one I work with called him and this idiot also said that Pacquiao was going to kill Mayweather. I just asked him to tell me who each boxer's last opponents were and how Pacquiao was going to kill him that was a bust so I asked him if he'd like to put some cash on it and he was having none of that so. He also said that he wasn't going to watch the fight so I walked away laughing. I cannot stand idiots.

now that its in the main stream, people all over facebook and myspace talking shi t like they know about boxing with pacquiao and mayweather..yeah im glad boxing is back and people are talking about it again. but i dont know it just annoys me that everyone thinks they know about. anybody dig what im sayin? No offense dude but the sport of boxing really never went anywhere just part-time fans taking a casual look only when superstar athletes (i.e. Manny/Floyd) make noise. But to answer your question it annoys me more when these part-time fans try to pit Boxing Vs MMA as if that horse hasn’t been beat already. Peace.

haha nice to know people have the same feelins as me..but god damnn everyones twitter says "going to vegas in march for the fight =)"..i am soo pissed..they dont know sh it about boxing! ..but like another poster said, we should just enjoy that boxing is in mainstream again

I'm happy if someone just takes an interest in boxing - however little they know. English boxing's gone through a bit of a lull though recently. Sky will be the only channel broadcasting fights here soon, and you've got champs like Froch walking round their own home towns hardly getting recognised. Loved it during the Haye/Valuev build-up - when people actually wanted to speak to me about boxing! I'm currently trying to get my girlfriend into boxing too, even if at the moment it only goes as far as 'Ooh, that Kessler's got nice tattoos!"

I know what you mean. It's kinda fun for me though because I get to see what casual fans think about boxing and their point of views on Mayweather-Pacquiao. To be honest I have across some pretty knowledgeable boxing casual fans. They use common sense to understand the weights, purse split, and styles. I have also come across the casual fans who say "Pacquiao is better than Floyd because he beat the same fighters he beat, faster than he did" which are the easiest one to shut with simple facts. Yeah, its definitely not unusual for casual/new fans to pull some silly triangle theory out of their asses. They go for that every time. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

LOL. It is kind of annoying. But it is nice to see people talk boxing (as misguided as they may be). That's true, although so many of these n00bz seem to acquire a little knowledge and then start acting like Bert Sugar, trying to school you on something like Jack Johnson losing to a lightweight version of Duran! :dunno: It's amusing, at least. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

same here dude one of my mates only watchs the big fights in the past year or 2 (DLHvsPAC,PACvsHatton,etc) and when he talks about floyd or pac and goes on about it, it really pisses me off!

It's funny to listen to people who are clueless. I had a conversation recently with someone who tried to tell me Duran would beat Jack Johnson. He didn't actually know anything about Jack, didn't even realize he was a heavyweight. LOL. It is kind of annoying. But it is nice to see people talk boxing (as misguided as they may be).

yea i hate how mainstream fans are excited to watch mayweather expecting an exciting bout

now that its in the main stream, people all over facebook and myspace talking shi t like they know about boxing with pacquiao and mayweather..yeah im glad boxing is back and people are talking about it again. but i dont know it just annoys me that everyone thinks they know about. anybody dig what im sayin?

Welcome to the 80's and early 90's. Boxing is back thanks mostly to Pacquiao and to some degree Mayweather. Have fun with this build-up 'cause there will not be another like it for some time.

Well, since Floyd had his little stint in WWF, all of the rednecks seem to think they're experts on boxing as well.

now that its in the main stream, people all over facebook and myspace talking shi t like they know about boxing with pacquiao and mayweather..yeah im glad boxing is back and people are talking about it again. but i dont know it just annoys me that everyone thinks they know about. anybody dig what im sayin? I just own them in my talk. I pick what they say and destroy them. Mabe I should go horus style on these fools Kinda feel abit geeky the way I do it though lol. Like I'm bills gate's talking about computers to sheep hurders

I know exactly what you mean man.. the killer part is when people wanna debate with you..but they only know about Mayweather fighting DLH and Hatton..and Pacquiao fighting Cotto, Hatton, and DLH..beyond that they know shit else..and wanna argue why one is gonna obliterate the other when they meet..LMAO..
