I can't wait for the liquored up discussions we'll be havin bout the sweet science and some of our favorite all time fights. We always have some fun talks about how today's stars would do against the old school greats. I love hearin about some of the **** that was before my time. Anybody else got relatives that get down on some boxing?
    you lucky bastard

        Me and my dad always talk about boxing. He always brings up his bets and stuff from back in the 80s. He still wears a gold chain that he won for betting on Duran over Davey Moore He also told me how he lost money on the the SRL vs Duran rematch. It's cool to hear his boxing stories. Other than that I only have 2 other friends that I talk boxing with in real life.

          My parents hate boxing and my obsession with it. Probably why their other kids are such **** ups, they never saw Douglas KO Tyson. Maybe they could have applied some of the techniques to their lax discipline.

          Imma raise my kids right.

            I'm envious.

            We were a big Ali household. The day Ali lost to Spinx I punched out the kid across the street for talkin' smack about it... My ol' man was a big Ali fan, which pretty much made me a big Ali fan. Now I make him DVDs with all the current (lol, which for him starts in the 80's) good fights and when I go to visit we get loaded and watch em'. My brother is a pretty big fan, but that's about it. My pops, bro n' me.

              my dad knows his stuff. not as much now as when i was a kid though.

              1980's: "michael moorer has great skills. when he moves up to heavyweight , he can become heavyweight champion.

              2000's: "pacquiao is good but flash elorde would have knocked him out."

                  my relatives are filipino so you know we always watch this one particular fighter. but to be honest, they're all pacfans, not boxing fans. me and my dad are the only real boxing fans who can get into a discussion that doesn't involve pacquiao. his boxing fix is limited to hbo and versus though so i always show him fights that i get from here and we always talk about how would fighter A do against fighter B. i try to avoid pacquiao discussions though because once he gets started he won't stop lol.
