What is a "REAL" Boxing Fan?

[Sugar Sting Ray]

A real boxing fan:

Respects courage in a fighter. He does not respect so-called "fighters" that duck the real fighters.

Respects ethical fighting not head butting and sucker punching.

Respects fighters that actually fight, like Armstrong and Duran. These guys fought and fought instead of looking to do the minimum fighting (via long and extended vacations) in order to maximize profits - yet undeservedly demand "respect" and "legacy."

Respects fighters that are gentlemen in and out of the ring.

Respects "showman" fighters who actually have great communications skills (like Ali and Leonard) as opposed to stuttering.

Respects fighters that uphold ethics and good morals instead of breaking the law, destroying government property (like the hundred dollar bill), and gives openly to charity without demanding that he be respected for it.

Any person who does not have all of the above qualities is not a real boxing fan. Thank you for reading.

A real boxing fan is someone that appreciates the sport, the history, and the science behind it. Can appreciate a fighter because they are good not because of his or her ethnicity. A real fan doesn't become a fan just because they have a dog in the fight. A real fan can use intellect and logic over emotions when making a statement or a formed opinion.

A real fan appreciates the sport, the history, and the science behind it. A real fan can appreciate a fighter that is good and not just based on the fighter's ethnicity. A real fan doesn't become a fan just because he or she has a dog in the fight. A real fan can use logic and intelligence when forming a statement or opinion and not let their emotions or biased views cloud their way of thinking.

^ this.

But who are we to state who a "real" fan is?

Most people will discount other fans as not being "real" fans because they don't agree with their opinion or because they respect fighters that the other person doesn't.

Real fans should be able to objectively look at a fighter, respect whatever his/her record is and be able to objectively make a comment on that fighter without the ridiculous bashing we have on this site (i.e. the arguments between Floyd-Pacquaio fans).

A real fan pays alot more attention to what goes on inside the ring then what goes on outside of it...

A real fan is perfectly ok with how Mayweather knocked out Ortiz

tried real hard not to mention floyd's name have you...? i mean it's your opinion, and you're welcome to it.
