    Boxing's rich history.

    One thing I love about this sport is its history and how it is still relevant today. When I sit down and think about it it is perhaps the only sport when I can have in depth conversations with my Dad about events that took place when he was a child.

    There is a clear/recognizable link between the generations and I love it.

      The history is just endlessly fascinating. It's hard to get bored. And there's so much to delve into, you're perennially studying.

      It's just great, looking into the history of boxing, and letting the visuals and words paint these beautiful colours in your mind.

      One of the greatest tools we have is YouTube - something which we all take for granted, but is just awesome for studying the sport. (I consider YT one of the greatest inventions of our time).

      The way I follow boxing is to always have one foot in the past - I'm always studying old fighters/fights, because they provide a context to what we watch now.

      Studying boxing history is just wonderful.

        It's definitely a great tool, this generation of boxing fans has unprecedented access to video footage from pretty much any era that had televised fights. Fights that took place in many countries. We're less dependent on commentators and writers than the previous generations.

          You like Jody Foster? I am pretty sure she is a dyke. I don't mean to be offensive but I feel like they have certain facial features for you to determine whether they are dykes or not.

          Anyways...yeah, boxing is alright. Realistically, though, it sucks right now.

              As if it's an ethnicity instead of a sexual preference.

                  I don't know, I just get a vibe from her. Plus, isn't it widely speculated that she is. Obviously, that is not sufficient evidence. Anyways...

                    Ethnicity? Isn't ****sexuality genetic? If in fact it is genetic, then it may follow that ****sexuals share other traits and may not be restricted to only the characteristic of being attracted to the same sex. I am not some kind of ignorant bigot or anything. I just feel like there are similarities between several lesbians who are public about it.
