I think 90% of the posters here are casuals

There's the hat museum, man. You ain't lived until you seen the hat museum...

But the statement was a general one for what it was worth, not particularly directed your way. I ain't really paid a great deal of interest in who's saying what in the recent HW back and forth so I can't comment on you, I just noticed in the past that 9/10 the dudes talking about casuals are just that themselves.

My bad. Might stop over in Stockport on my way to Leeds once the lockdown is over.

Good stuff.

Most casuals don't come to websites like this so not in complete agreement there. But a lot of guys here only focus on the "bigger" boxers and don't really chime in on random RBR threads.

That's a valid point actually... no one who cares enough about boxing to post their damn opinions on here is truly a casual, but there is a lot of dudes with just a very narrow focus.. a particular fighter or division, nationality or network who tend to dismiss anything else as irrelevent. It's not really a term I like anyway cos who am I to make a judgement, and what does it matter anyway, but inasmuch as I think of it about posters on here that's what I tend to be thinking of.

I doubt it. Sorry if you take time out of your day to make an account in a boxing forum, you are not a casual. You have to love boxing to post here.

If you want to say 90% are trolls, i’d agree. But I can’t call anyone here casuals. Casuals are people who ask things like why didn’t Floyd Mayweather ever fight Mike Tyson.

Only way i’d call anyone a casual is as an insult that I don’t really mean. Most posters here know more about boxing than an actual casual.

You might be right about trolls. A lot of them have multiple IDs.

I’m sure it must of taken you countless hours of research to pull that statistic out of your @$$.

By all means stop in for a pint of Robbies, but - unless you really got a deep fascination with headwear - please, please do not stop on account of my recommendation to the Hat Museum. That's a coupla hours of your life you ain't ever gonna get back, man.

You from Leeds originally or something, or is that where you work?

I'm a casual. I picked Kownacki over Helenius

If you have in-depth knowledge going back until at-least Joe Louis & Rocky Marciano's era's? You are not a casual boxing fan etc

Casual boxing fans or people who have only just gotten into boxing 'Idolize super-heavyweights, and are for the most part glory hunters' they also get excited by social media back and fourths between fighters. I am not in the slightest bit interested in what fighters say on social media, and my idea of BEEF? Is violence and and threats of potential altercations. I don't see any fighters these days who are willing to throw other fighters on their toes within physical reality etc

Note: I don't actually think their are casual boxing fans here, but there are maybe some people who are just passing through the sport who are complete 'Glory Hunters'

So if you don’t know about boxing in depth up to Louis and Marciano, then you are a casual fan?

I don’t agree that that’s how it works.

So let’s say someone knows everything about every weight class in the last 10 years (just an example). They can discuss with you any boxing events that have been going on in boxing in the last decade. From minimumweight to heavyweight. They are a casual fan because they are not well informed about Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano? Despite knowing about fights between boxers named Rangrung Rakatak Gym Battery vs Jose Luis Ramirez Gonzalez (completely made up names) at 112lbs?

You are confusing boxing fan with boxing historian. You don’t have to be both in order to be a good boxing fan. And this is coming from someone who does know quite a bit about Marciano and Louis’ career. In hindsight, I considered myself an above casual fan level the second I stopped depending on my father to put boxing on so I can watch it, and me looking for boxing information on my own around 12-13 years old taking up boxing itself.

I feel like I was a casual at 5-11 years old when I would sit in the living room with my father to watch boxing and only knew names like De La Hoya, Tyson, Chavez, Trinidad, Roy Jones, Holyfield, Foreman and the only “old” fighter I knew was Ali.

I’m from London. Just going to Leeds with my mates to see what it’s like up there.

It aint casuals its just fanboys who throw out logic to defend their God.... Kinda like ****Em and Joshua.

So it comes off as casual talk, but most guys arent casuals. Well imo.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to -Kev- again.
