i found this in the net i thinks its pretty interesting;
"You know you are talking to a fraudulent boxing fan when...
1. They ask who you think would've won a fight between Sugar Ray
Leonard and
Bruce Lee.
- Real boxing fans don't give a rat's rectum about a match between
Sugar Ray
Leonard and Bruce Lee.
- And win what? A boxing match? A Winner-Take-All Death Match?
2. They tell you they would hate to meet Muhammad Ali in a dark alley.
-True boxing fans don't think of Ali this way at all. He was the
ultimate
free-style artist in the ring. His mystique wasn't about
intimidation.
3. They are always telling you about awesome right hooks thrown by
right-handed fighters.
- Just nod and smile. Don't bother correcting them. I've done it
before and
it just serves to crush the male spirit. I have seen the reddened
facial
expression of silent and mutual acknowledgment of exposure and it is
not
pretty. It is as if they are exposed as a sissy... off in the distance,
a dog
always barks.
4. They describe how they just love boxing because they enjoy seeing
two men
get in the ring and "beat the hell out of each other."
- Again, nod and smile. Resist the urge to explain the artistry and
high-level strategy required of all world-class boxers. We enjoy a good
brawl, but it goes far beyond the sentiments expressed.
5. They say that they would "get in the ring with Tyson (or insert
alternate
bad man) for $10 million."
- These pizza eating sports lovers would, in all reality, wet their
trunks,
run from the ring before pre-fight instructions, be suspended by the
state
boxing commission and have their purse withheld for cowardice and
breech of
contract. "
