      This, "I've watched boxing for 30 years" stuff means nothing. Skip Bayless has been watching that long and he is a moron. The reality is a 10 year old kid can spend 3 months on youtube and watch more boxings matches than the most avid watcher here.

      So stop demeaning other peoples opinions you asshats
      The reality is that the "most avid watcher" can see all those same fights as the 10 y/o and process it a lot more intelligently.

        I've been watching since around the age of 10, so about 15 years.

              I've been following boxing since 2010, my roommate in college was a big time PAC-stan, and I had to learn a little about boxing. You know how irritating turds can be

                I started way, way back when Sergey Kovalev and Bernard Hopkins fought. Late 2014 I believe. Man them were the days.

                    More than 20 years, but 20 years is a good mark because I was a teenager then so even though I started watching before my understanding became a lot better at that point as I started to get really into the sport.

                    Things I remember
                    Tuesday Night Fights on USA
                    Al Bernstein on ESPN
                    Sportscenter having a regular boxing segment
                    KO Nation
                    The start of B.A.D.
                    B-Hop being the underrated Middlewieght titleholder
                    Oscar winning a gold medal
