Ammusing post from BBC boxing forum

[hammerhiem]

Here is my definitive 11 step programme on how to become an expert boxing fan on this site.

1) State that Calzaghe has a padded record at least once a day (preferably before breakfast.)

2) Insist that Frank Warren is the anti-Christ.

3) Insist that Amir Khan is the spawn of the anti-Christ.

4) When somebody gets too down on a particular boxer (even if it's Amir Khan) you must write something along the lines of "come on boys, anyone who steps into a ring and puts his life on the line deserves some respect."

5) Have a go at boxers who are reluctant to seek their fortunes in the States, but also condemn those that leave for not fighting all their domestic rivals first.

6) Overly support American boxers, even though most of them are complete you-know-whats, in order to show that national pride doesn't blinker your insight into what makes a true boxing legend.

7) Believe that Roy Jones Junior was invincible in his prime, and that even if you'd cut his head off his twitching corpse would have knocked out his ten closest rivals (one after another.)

8) Complain bitterly about what you see as bogus match-ups and make noises like you're going to boycott them (even though everybody knows you'll be glued to your TVs like the rest of us.)

9) Develop an unhealthy obsession with the chins of certain boxers.

10) Question the sexuality of anyone who defends a boxer you don't like.

11) Gang up on anyone who dares to state an opinion that contradicts 1-10 above.

Slanted from a UK posters perspective obviously but it did make me laugh.

You realize all fighters have padded records right? Some are just less padded than others..... Calzaghe is like one of those Memory Foam mattresses and Hopkins is a Serta Sleeper. JK

I'll adhere to these tips like the ten commandments.

LOL, get that guy on the forums, good humourous take.

Reminds me of some of squeals posts, though it's clearly not quite his lingo.
