Do you consider Joe Rogan an educated mind when it comes to boxing?

I don't consider him an educated mind in general. Can't stand that pseudo intellectual bullshyt act.
As far as boxing goes, he's shown himself to be a clown. Some of the statements. He makes NSB trolls look like boxing historians and I say that with no exaggeration.

Agreed! He's cut from the same cloth as Jordan Peterson; leveraging knowledge from their niche fields and pretending to know it all. Very dangerous since some people actually think they know what they are talking about.

It's weird because he's evidently been a boxing fan for decades. The kicker is his knowledge of the game is on the ground floor. He's pretty much the epitome of a casual. The type of dude who gravitates to boxers being elite because they're built like an Adonis. Every true boxing fan knows being built like a brick **** house doesn't win fights and often is a hindrance since your output is severely limited.

He's a casual as most here are saying. I do enjoy listening to intelligent casuals talk about boxing doe so I'm a fan of Rogan talking boxing or having boxing guests on so in that way I guess he's got a fresh POV.

Most cats here are snobs about who they feel can or should talk about boxing. I'm not one of those guys. Personally I enjoy hearing guys like Rogan, AC Slater & Omar Miller talk pretty casually about boxing & with boxers & I think its great for boxing in general when casual mfers talk about boxing more.

Gets more people curious about the sport which leads to more people watching & spending money on the sport & will even transition some of those casuals into hardcore fans who might even land here to b^tch about random bs with the rest of us at some future date.

Decade later, boxers still make a lot more money.
Main even UFC fighters get paid jack.

Biggest events are still boxing. Not UFC.
UFC stars want to box big name boxers to make real money.

I think he's a casual fan. He doesn't claim to be much of an expert either though.

Seems like he has quite a good knowledge of old fights that happened

What Joe Rogan failed to realize is that boxing is a cultural and national past time, especially in Europe 'It is interwoven into the fabric of history'. And it is truly the last working class blue collar sport. 'And this is why in some form it will always exist, whether it is dying or not it will have it's ups and downs but? It will always survive' I enjoyed K1 more so than UFC.

Yeah I noticed the same, he also got the age him and Tyson sparred wrong. Him claiming Tyson was prime when they fought was silly as well.

Ah cheers mate, I'm glad someone else noticed. He seemed a little off it at times.
