Do you guys often have boxing discussions in real life?

[-Kev-]

With people from other fan bases? If so, is it the same as NSB? Do you call Cotto fans eyepluckers and knee takers, call Pinoys dog eaters, Mayweather fans monkeys and mock them with KFC buckets?

I had a random conversation the other day, with 4 people in a restaurant, that knew about boxing as much as hardcore boxing fans. They were two Mayweather critics and two Mayweather fans. But it was cool, nobody trash talked or dissed nationality or got racist.

It's also like this in many sports forums I have been to.Like baseball, football, basketball, users are respectable to each other and no one gets out of line with eachother.

So why is everyone so hostile when it comes to discussing boxing on the internet? It's like rival gangs going at it.

Boxing isn't that big in England, if I mentioned Mayweather or Pacquaio to anyone the only thing they'd say is "The guy that beat Hatton ?". So no, don't really talk to many people, I'm not that social at the gym and only really speak to 1 other person there bar the trainers, he somewhat follows sport but he's not exactly hardcore, I tried telling him that Bantamweight is the most talented division at the moment and he brought up light welterweight being better because of Prescott and Khan.

Needless to say I don't really talk too him much about boxing now lol, can't get a decent discussion out of him, think he's more of a mma fan though.

I do,but most of my peoples are boxing fans,but nope,usually race isn't involved as it shouldn't be!!Grown men should be able to have a decent conversation without disrespecting each other!!When someone involves race & disrespecting because their opinion differs,I try to avoid them!!

My Brothers are the only one who I can talk to about boxing(We all grew watching my grand father watch boxing). My brother in law and all of his friends are all Casual boxing fan and mma hard core fans. And I live with my brother in law.. it sucks sometimes, I just want to talk about it sometimes but they just nod their head and follow up with openning a new topic. argghhhh!
