LOL, Walked Into A Boxing Conversation At Work Today

[Bhopreign]

Overheard a co-worker and supervisor talking about the Pacquaio fight.

First of all neither follow boxing closely...my supervisor says he knew Oscar would get beat really bad, easy to say after the fact. Later the co-worker says Bernard Hopkins said that Mayweather was dodging him, when I heard that I knew I was dealing with the most casual of fan who didnt understand weight classes nor the fact that Hopkins never said such a thing.

The co-worker went on to say Ali was the greatest he ever saw, its his opinion so I couldnt argue, but chances are he didnt see much of Ray Robinson and probably never heard of Henry Armstrong or Willie Pep, so I kept quiet. Hey at least they are talking boxing.

hehe, you should hear my side. Some of my co workers are saying that they should put the pacman with Margarito........unbelievable, but like you say at least they talk about boxing to know that it's still alive..

How ironic. Some guys today in my photography class were talking and one guy who is barely getting into boxing said Ali shouldnt be ranked more than 4th best all time

Some of the things I heard at the water cooler in the build-up to Hatton v Floyd were classic

Same here, I didn't mind them talking about it, despite their nonsense talk.

The thing about boxing is - people really enjoy watching it. They get pumped for the big fights. Which is why I always think boxing could improve its popularity immensely if they marketed more aggressively.

People aren't bored of boxing, they're just not hearing about it enough.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I know exactly what you mean I heard a co-worker say Pacquiao should fight Bernard hopkins, I stepped in and said, don't you mean Floyd Mayweather? Co-worker said, "No Bernard Hopkins, I think it would be a fantastic fight, both are so fast and in their primes"
