How Many people on this board actually BOX ?

and in the ring, i think mayweather's untouchable, possibly de la hoya, possible mosley could take him out. but that's slim. but outside of the ring, i think he's a ****in scumbag

6-6 terrible and your a PR. You didn't do your Island proud. I haven't boxed in about eight years but I was 21-5 as an amatuer but I got jumped and got my retina detached and that is why I have a squinty eye in my pic.

not rly. when i first got started ther was hardly anybody in my weight class, so i had to fight all the experienced kids. then after my first few matches was when i started handin out the ass whippin's.

I've been boxing for around 5 months and am being lined up for my first bout soon. Just need to get the fitness levels up.

Great post, thanks for sharing! The bold part, is what i used to do after the first time i went to the gym. If you remember USA Tuesday Night Fights, sure they had some great fights, but they also had some boring fights -like any network- but i always stayed through the whole show no matter who was fighting or how borring the fight was, i was geared to learn from every and any boxer. I learned a lot too. Messed up thing for me is that i never stuck with boxing when i was younger, it wasn't till i was older that i finally got an amature fight. But through out the years i've been in and out of gyms, meaning i've quite so many times and gone back many times that i lost track of how many times i've quite boxing only to go back again. Thats why i too respect the boxer and for the effort the put into their craft.

USA had my full, devoted attention ever Tuesday during that run, despite Al Albert's cheesey delivery and I still love Sean O'Grady. ESPN's Thursday night fights also had me locked in.

Good times.

Just wondering how many members here are armchair fans (nothing wrong with that, there are many sports i watch from the sideline and never actually do) and how many actually box whether to actually fight or just for the training ?

I ask because of all the PBF hate.

As a boxing fan, sure he can be a ****, you can certaintly take him or leave him.

BUT AS A BOXER, i love watching ever second of him in the ring to learn from his technical adaptability and pure structure. Which boxer can't learn something from his different types of defence ? etc

All you have to do is notice the tone of most of these posts and it soon becomes clear who the nerdy-boys are. They think they can hide behind a computer screen but the truth is as soon as they say something they reveal themselves. A nerdy-boy's view of the world is totally different to a real boxer.

So do you box or not?
