    You know you've watched too much boxing when you break your own small toe to see if you can punch as good as you did with fully fit toes.

    When one of your personal ambitions is still to learn how to skip really fast like Ray Leonard.

    You know you've watched too much boxing when you run up every flight of stairs you see and do the rocky thing at the top.

    When you listen to women at work talking about how much they weight while thinking about how they would fare against certain boxers in each chicks relevent weight division....I accidently called a fat lass Sam Peter because of this.

    You know you've watched too much boxing when you run through town in your grey tracksuit asking kids to follow you...oh wait.

    i do so, so many of these

    hitting the bathroom cord i was terible for when i had a bathroom cord
    shadow boxing the dog, girlfriend, and sister when younger
    shadow boxing in appropriate places
    shadow boxing when dancing when drunk
    slipping branches, signs and things when walking along
    spend too much visually myself pulling off improbably complex, yet smooth combinations when sparring / fighting

    Finish a particularly difficult level of Angry Birds and then start shouting to everyone on the train 'I shook up the world!!!!!'

    when you set your scales to read your weight in pounds only as opposed to stones & pounds

    when you put the hood up on your dressing gown, look into the mirror and pretend your walking down to the ring for a megafight.

    Definitely i then tried to explain why i was depressed because at 177lbs i would stand a chance against Hopkins, bute or Froch

    guilty of so many things on this list, the amount of people and walls ive punched in the face while shadowboxing them is ridiculous.

    P.s. ive sussed out Ward so all i need would be an 8 week camp to work on my conditioning

    Get seriously annoyed when the idiots at your work say things like 'Wladimir and Vitali are dying to fight each other' and won't be told otherwise.

    Agree with the running up the steps one too, there is a cinema near my flat with a few steps up to it and I've often jogged up them quick imagining the rocky theme in my head.

    I've become a bit of a boxing snob at work. When I was going to see Degale vs Groves and people asked who I was going to see, I just always replied 'oh, you wouldn't know them', it was just easier that way.

    when you weight yourself...realise your 162 pounds so try for a massive dump to get under the 160 limit.
