First thing people tell you when u talk about boxing

[-Hyperion-]

casual fans suck....i dont care for casual mexican fans really.........the us ones are whats important, thats where the money fights happen(thus needing money from the fans up there....i really do appreciate pochos, i just like to have a laugh....)...the ****s down here wouldnt even watch if boxing wasnt free......

It's:

"Why do you still watch boxing and not MMA?"

I really don't talk boxing much outside of here. I get glassy eyed stares, like I'm trying to explain quantum physics to most people trying to talk about it.

I know what you mean. Ever tried explaining to a non boxing fan how the champions work? Explaining how their are 4 recognized major boxing organizations that each recognize their own world champion and how their are other lower tier organizations that do the same, but a popular boxing magazine recognizes a linear champion of the champions. Its not a fun conversation to have.

Barely any of my friends are proper Boxing fans but Football (Soccer) fans

God help you, Spacey. I can't stand football nor listen to people talk about it.

As for the thread question, I guess I'm lucky because I have some good friends and an older brother to regularly talk boxing with. We have decent, in-depth conversations. Also, sometimes I talk boxing with my girlfriend, she occasionally asks about it. Oddly enough, she's smarter than about 90% of BoxingScene members! Har har.

Talking with the average person on the street though, I find they know pretty much nothing. All they know is "Ali was the greatest, though, wasn't he!", but they've rarely heard of most of the people I've mentioned.

It's hard enough talking boxing with people that know the sport, I hate people that think the fights are fixed because what they thought would happen didn't happen.

If they started spouting off any UFC crap or stuff about Tyson, I would just tell them "Ssshhhhh!" and make them watch Vazquez-Marquez II, Corrales-Castillo I, Katsidis-Earl, Bowe-Golota II, Gatti-Ward I and Pac-Marquez I & II all in succession without letting them even go for a piss. Yeah, a boxing hostage situation. Some people have to fuckin LEARN.

[Larry Merchant]

Yo Tyson could can beat anyone.
