Define "real boxing fan"

[AFighter4U]

Yeah thats nice.....You might have a case if your fellow *******s didnt call Manny Pacquaio a "god" all of the time.

And "100% God made" is more convincing to your lil argument than "100% God".

Where do you EVER see Pac fans saying Pac is their god? The only people ever mentioning god is in derision to their fans, such as "your god Pac" or "your god Floyd".

Smart fans see through it. There are a lot of dumb fans. Fan is short for fanatic. It is not short for knowledgeable, hardcore, or informed.

My point is . How can one be a Fanatic if you really dont watch boxing or even have the craving to watch it?
I know the difference between a dumb and knowledgeable fan....Your not a fan of crap if your not watching and enjoying it.
Again I dont know why they make the claims but they do.

Its not a debate between two fans argueing which is a stronger punch a hook or a jab. Real fans know which is. A Fake fan wont even know what the punches are.

Im going to guess that your purposely being obtuse. No way you just typed that last comment of yours with a straight face.

I see from that comment that we are on two totally different pages or you honestly dont want to face the fact. I thought our debate was a debate....nevermind.

Where is the line between fanatic and not? It's just certain shades of gray. That's all I'm saying, and if someone says they are a fan who am I to say they aren't?

Ok Im a soccer fan, Whew!! ( I know nothing of it and could not tell you the name of one player, I dont know the rules or any team name, and have never really watched a game or even 2 minutes of a game) But Im a soccer fan! Whew!

A real boxing fan is one who will cancel a previous engagement because he knows the fights will be on. He is one who will not care so much for the participants yet his eyes will not move from the screen as the fighters throw about. He is one who will show up on different nights to a boxing show, whether professional or amatuer not knowing who the headliners may be, but still he sits and enjoys. The skill of the fighters, the technicians and the brawlers. Understanding the whole time that these mean are inflicting pain, enduring fatigue and pressing forward even though it could mean a certain demise. A real fan understands this and refrains from the verbal debauchment, after a fighter gives his all and comes up short. Given, if the fighter was not even trying to win then he would most certainly deserve chastisement, but a true fan will keep it respectfull and constructive. A true fan understands that there may be bad decisions and understands that a few losses, even a bunch, can be great learning processes. A true fan does not care who holds what belt, only that he gets to watch the best fighters in the world do battle with one another, regardless of who might be promoting them. A true fan wants to see the best fight the best and thankyou to the world of boxing as of late, we've had some great match-ups...........Rockin'

I think based on the posted quoted here, we can add another point to the criteria of being a "true boxing fan"

5. Thinking that you are superior in you own mind over other fans because you have no life other than boxing

No life outside boxing? And you came to this conclusion how? I've already said I'm not a "true boxing fan" to my standards so I can rule out basic logic. Not that being superior over you is an achievement, it's a given really given your hilarious sig statement.

[Phil Ivey]

a real boxing fan right here... think's he's better than a whole bunch of people who enjoy boxing at any level

It's not a surprise you're making a case for *******s and *****s being true boxing fans since you're a ******* yourself. I mean I've already stated that I don't consider myself a true boxing fan due to a number of factors yet the comprehension skills in this thread astounds me, can't say I'm surprised during my year on here.
