      Yeah most dont follow the sport, even Robert Garcia doesnt even know who carl froch is.

      But Pacquaio knows who Rios was since like 09.

          Even in media the writers who know their stuff have never laced'em up as for boxers atleast in the gyms ive been in the people have one or two favorites and thats about it.
          Yeah, i've definetely noticed this as well.

          When i've talked to some of the top fighters from a few different gyms they didn't follow the sport much at all.

          In fact just a few days ago one asked me whether the Froch/Groves rematch had been announced!

              To a certain extent this. Maidana is attempting to operate at the world level and is clearly a very busy man, he's got better things to do than refreshing boxingscene multiple times a day.

                  Same.

                  I was the Mr know it all in my previous gym. I used to tell'em to visit BoxingScene, but they could care less and would just ask me. These are guys who have won national titles and are serious about the sport lol.

                    The mind boggles. I like hearing from pros like Ward and Malignaggi who follow the sport in depth. Surprisingly not many of them do.

                    I give Maidana a pass though, he's a country boy farmer. He is where he is because he is good at fighting not because he's a student of the sport.
