Define "real boxing fan"

[DondiNeverLeft]

He thinks he is.

"Pacquiao doesn't just beat you up... he beats you up and then invites you to his birthday party".... 100% God, No steroids

This is the kind of stuff that scares me about *******s. I know many obsessed boxing fans who are blinded by their favorite fighters "greatness" but these *******s take it to another level.

The Bible -Exodus 20:3 "You must not have any other god but me".....not even playing around.

If you don't like Mayweather you are not a real boxng fan, or at least that's what mayweather fans always say . If you follow boxing then you are a real boxing fan its as simple as that.

The TS asked what is a "real boxing fan" and placed it in quotations. We are all fans but if you have ever had a debate or discussion with a so called boxing fan that really does not know much but claims to be a "real boxing fan" you would understand.

Its like the guy with the big mouth at the bar who is yelling all night he will knock someone out because he is a "real fighter"....then the real fighter shows up and beats his ass all over the bar. (notice I dont say knocked him out, because anyone can get a lucky punch in, but a thorough beating disproves his "real fighter claim.)

All that stuff being said about Manny beating you up and inviting you to his birthday party is true.

He did invite a number of his opponents to his bday party. And that all God no steriods quip is a mere statement of an opinion... Hardly something to frown upon.

Of course, there ARE some people who tend to go overboard, but which popular athlete doesn't have disturbed fans? Manny just gets extra attention cuz he's the current flavor of the month.

The reason I underlined, Bolded, and made it RED, was to accentuate the fact that he said...100% GOD....If that doesnt rub you as a bit "overboard"...Im sorry for you.

Lol!

That "100% God" simply means Pac relies 100% on God for power and not on steroids, and not "manny IS 100% God" which you most likely might be thinking.

must have seen this phrase a million time since i joined. but i'd be honest, its definition is still not clear to me.

A true boxing fan is passionate about the sport and its fighters (often a few particular fighters) but respects all fighters and gives credit where credit is due.

A true boxing fan respects all styles of fighting - whether it be pure boxing, brawling, boxer/puncher, etc etc.

A true boxing fan respects other true boxing fans.

I watch almost all fights on HBO and Showtime and buy most of the PPV's. I also have a huge collection of old fight dvd's from black and white days up til the 2000's. Boxing is the one and only sport I watch and follow and I consider myself a hardcore boxing fan. Though I still see threads and posters talking about fights or fighters from today who I haven't seen or even heard of so I guess I'm not a full out die hard boxing fan. With the way boxing has been going recently I have spent more time watching fights from the 50's-90's than paying attention to some of the up and comers in the sport.

I'll tell you who aren't "real boxing fans"... Klitschko fans, the most ******ed, most pathetic fans ever. They have zero knowledge about the history of boxing, they only follow the Klitschkos and are closet racists. They come up with so many delusional statements and embarass themselves in every thread they eneter.

Somebody who likes boxing
