    - You have an entire folder on your computer full of boxing pictures that you have collected. This is one of your most prized possessions on your computer.

    - You sometimes play your favourite music while watching your favourite fights.

    - You promote the virtues of the sport to the non-believers as good as any professional promoter.

    - Hearing about the antics of the WBA and WBC actually ruins your day.

    - The whole schedule of your Saturday is dictated by the big fight on that night. Everything is leading up to that moment when the fighters walk to the ring.

    - You make a mental list of all the fights you need to watch at some point, forgetting 1 for every new one you add. (the forgotten one coming to you at a later date)

    - You think Larry Merchant is a true badass.

      Not tried that. But that is an awesome way to ruin one of their favourite obsessions - future childrens names.

        You know you're a boxing fan when you:

        can recite the numerous "champions" in each weight class

        You've missed important life events so that you could watch the mega fights (I missed the birth of my son so I could watch the Mayweather-Hatton fight and I'm glad I did...Mayweather's KO of Hatton was priceless)...

        You get depressed when you favorite fighter loses

        You unconsciously shadow box in public places (elevators, bathroom, office, starbucks)...

        You've issued death threats to the WBA, WBC, and other sanctioning body officials for their nonsensical rankings...

        That's all I got for now...

                    -Youre posting **** on BS while your girl is laying next to you in bed watching two and half men on tv.

                    -You teach your little brother how to properly throw jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts.

                    -Your homies call and ask you what you think of a fighter so they can use your exact words to tell somebody else something about boxing.

                    -You can identify every single punch thrown when you see a street fight.

                    -You check this site and many others for boxing news.

                    -You know about other fighters besides Mayweather and Pacquiao.

                      you know you're a boxing fan when you proudly repeat 60/40 to settle minor disputes with your wife.

                      you know you're a boxing fan when you walk into a dark room and flip the light switch from a philly shell stance.
