As a fan, have you ever taken some time off from boxing?

[_original_]

I honestly don't think lve missed many relevant fights since the early 2000s. Been a fan since the mid 90s but l really became a hardcore in the early 2000s, never felt the need for a "break."

I never have done that. I love boxing. I am starting to enjoy the MMA shows since their fighters have improved so much. I look forward to good fight after good fight. I can't wait for the Cotto vs Canelo fight and the Wlad vs Fury fight and the Quillen vs Jacob fight. I watch all the boxing I can unless they are very low ranked boxers. Sometimes I even watch them because they may be stars later on. I can't imagine going even a week without watching some good boxing. Boxing and the MMA are the only sports I ever watch. Football, baseball, basketball and soccer are very popular sports but I never watch them.

Nah.... My Saturday nights aren't complete with out violence. So if there's no Boxing, there usually UFC. I'm a huge Baseball fan. I also like Football (NCAA and NFL) and a some Basketball. I'm a Knicks fan so I just really watch them and highlights of the rest of the teams.

Well you are only a couple years older than me but I didnt become a true fan of boxing util I was an late teen (18-19yo) but I feel you theres alot to be excited about, the only problem I see is its become more and more prevalent IMO that the "fix" is in on many fights or their complete mismatches. Cotto vs Canelo is almost dead even IMO but I can see a controversial decision happening. And out of the fights you named, I actually think Zurdo Ramirez gets upset but I wouldnt be surprised if the fix is in on that 1. Ramirez is a mere hype to me, he slow as molasses and has no power and those Armenians are pretty tuff guys I just hope the winners get their fair due or, Im taking a break...

Man that type of stuff NEVER enters my mind. Controversial decisions are a part of the sport and, really, I've just kind of gotten used to them over the years and I have seen some AWFUL ones.

What prompted you do to it? How long did you take off?? & what brought you back???

Im going to be ordering the fight this weekend, but if this "mega" fight doesnt live up to its expectations, ends controversially, or unprofessionally I think I am going to take some time off from watching/supporting PROFESSIONAL boxing and focus on the amateurs, Im kinda tired of the premaddonas, alphabet organizations, lawsuits, & hypejobs. I hope this weekend proves me wrong because there are some great fights to be made but I wont hold my breath.

Problem is amateur boxing has been in need of an overhaul for years.

Yeah I didn't keep up with much from june last year to early this year, i had a lot going on in my personal life and bad depression so i didn't have much motivation to do anything to be honest.

the bonus was i missed most of the build up to pac/pbf which i feel is a good thing
