Has Being on This Forum Increased Your Boxing Knowledge?

It depends if you're talking to a fight fan or a fighter fan.

I learned majority of boxers are cowards and the poster golovkin can beat all of them

Great pictures!

I have to ask what is the difference between a FIGHT FAN and a FIGHTER FAN?

[STAX ON DECK]

for sure i learnt that 'POWER' doesnt mean 'everything' and that SKILLS and defendsive porwess is probabbly a lot mre important,

[HarvardBlue]

Heck NO!!!

[Nights King]

it made me far more aware of politics in boxing and the strange fan boy waves.

But more importantly I gained knowledge in the sweet science and its history.

fight fan is a fan of the sport as a whole and in general is more likely to talk about their favorite fighter's weaknesses and point out fights that fighter could lose while still going to war with that fighter.

a fighter fan is a delusional fan who can't see anything objectively wrong with their, generally, undefeated fighter who he believes is the next ATG but hasn't actually analyzed more than three of their fights but still goes to war with them. and they will likely lose interest in the sport when they can't find a fighter to root for because they can't enjoy the sport if they don't know who the fighters are.

I love boxing, but reading some of the poster's comments and analysis of fights or fighters has made me realize I really don't know **** about boxing.

[i'm a fun haver]

It's actually decreased my faith in humanity.
So...thanks, bros. See ya in the mud

Overall, I learned my opinions are just as flawed as many other people's.

I'd say more flawed

I have learned a whole lot about boxing history

Yea if you feel like you aren't learning anything here go read some of the boxing history threads. I'll just randomly read some of them they are so entertaining & interesting.

But it makes sense, people have anonymity so they can be themselves here. Speaking to fans in person there is no way you'll hear the things you read here.

Great point, with anon people will speak freer. I think with anon people will create alter egos as well & I suspect a good % of these people speaking freely are doing it for fun or their version of fun anyway.

we are the worst ******ist fans campare to any other sport ...we never give the fighters 100 and every win comes with a BS excuse

Man I say this **** all the time. The 26th best MW or WW or whatever weight is a bad mfer!!!! That guy has probably put his life into boxing & in 2 years could be a title holder or "the champion" or he could just be a tough mfer or he could come up massively short & lose the rest of his fights til he retires. Boxing is a tough highly competitive racket & there are thousands of people who are going in on becoming the best possible fighter they can be right now & they deserve a certain amount of minimal respect just for their attempt & I'll always give them that.

I have learned that boxing fans place more emphasis on emotions rather than logic. I've learned that truth and facts don't matter to boxing fans. They will believe what they want regardless of what the facts and logic says.

The Manny or Floyd can do nothing wrong or do nothing right fans are some of the dumbest or trolliest mfers on the site. There are definitely too many people like that around here. I encourage people to use their ignore button more. Some people here are so f#cking ****** I feel it'll make me dumber if I just read their posts.

This forum made me dumber responding to dimwits.

LOL as I was saying above. People don't use their ignore button enough. ******ity is more contagious than you think. And just reading or responding to some of the dumb mfers around here can knock off some IQ points on you.

I've learned that you come across a wide variety of individuals. The dynamics of this place is what makes it worthwhile. From the Lounge to the History Section.

True dat.
