What is the criteria to be considered a real boxing fan as opposed to being a Pactard or Flomo. It seems if u mention either one of these guys u automatically get labeled. I am a Floyd Mayweather but I consider myself a real boxing fan b/c Floyd isn't the only fighter i watch. He's my favorite right now but by no means does that mean once his done fighting all stop watching boxing. I don't consider myself a boxing historian b/c I have recently be come a die hard over the last 5 or 6 years but I was always a casual fan. Is a real boxing fan supposed to be able to recall facts from the past or just have a good understanding of boxing and follow the sport. I wanna know what u guys think. Intelligent responses please

I love boxing period. My uncle is a judge, my cousin Mack Babb was a pro heavyweight contender, his son is about to go pro, and I was raised around boxing. I watched Tyson-Douglas with my grandmother (who is a super boxing fan). We had a heavy bag chained to the steampipe in the basement and I learned the basic principles of boxing at a very young age. I was taught about the benefit of turning my hands over, taught to stay on the balls of my feet, and the importance of a fast jab. Boxing's in my blood. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are not the end-all be-all of the sport. I'm actually pretty excited about Nonito Donaire coming to the Theatre at MSG, and God willing, I'll be there in the 100 section with a 200 dollar ticket. I can't say I WILL be there because things happen over the course of 24 hours.
