    ESPN almost never, ever, ever covers anything semi-boxing related on Sports Center unless it's one of the P4P jack off scum bags.

    Too long. Didn't read after the first sentence.
    I'm the one talking like a tool? You're telling other posters here to go to school, and ripping them for not knowing enough about the sport and being new fans.

    Go get a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, and order them around if that's what your into. This girl (if she is a girl) at least adds to this forum by starting threads...you add to it by acting like her dad or over-possessive wanna be boyfriend, whatever your doing its weird. But I'm the tool. yeah. :deal

    Nah, that isn't what this is.

    This isn't an insular macho culture swooping in to corrode a female intruder like a bunch of white blood cells all over a foreign body.

    This is a rejection of the lazy anti-intellectualism that goes along with celebrity awe culture and star worship in any realm (entertainment, sports, politics) over actual evaluation of them and deeper appreciation of their nuances.

    You've got a strange taste, some of these fights were totally one sided and weren't even that good. I mean I like great boxing performances myself but I wouldn't list an easy knockout victory against an overmatched opponent in my top 10 list.

    Fair enough.

    Is it safe to say that you became much more interested in boxing in the last 18 months? I'm seeing a strong focus on fights that all seem very recent, barring the obvious oldies. No shame in that.

    First fight I remember seeing live was Hagler-Hearns, but I didn't really start to become a die-hard fan until the Bowe-Golota fights, and in the interim before those, I almost exclusively watched heavyweight title fights during my casual fan years.

    Bro, how is he acting like a dad or an over-possessive boyfriend? IB has called me out for some dumb **** I've said, and he's called a million others out. It's not like he's just picking on her, but no one else defends me or others he calls out because we're not girls. I can respect your opinion but I just don't see how IB is at fault here. If anyone tried to act like some expert boxing ****yst, but only posted the same Pac/Floyd topics over and over again they'd get crucified, but no one would defend them or give a ****.

    Note they're all "big" fights. ;)

    To be fair, she probably did watch at least 15 minutes of each on YouTube (and skim the Wikipedia article) given their magnitude.

    Just because I haven't been following something for like 10 years doesn't mean I don't know about the sport.

    I'm like a sponge. When a sport catches my attention, it becomes a bad obsession. I want to know everything about it as soon as possible. I'll have no problem watching fights over and over again, repeatedly, studying it, ****yzing fighters. I've been obsessing over Mayweather and Pacquiao (since before the KO), but recently, like bad.

    really bad. I'm surprised I'm not burnt out.

    So much so, that I could argue from either side point, for Mayweather or for Pacquiao, and still probably win a debate out of majority of the posters on here ;]

    Same thing happened with basketball 3 years ago. I learned so much about basketball, almost everything, over the summer. I was obsessed (and still am<3) about it. I was on a forum...when they heard I only been following for a year, they kind of discredited me.

    But, you guys don't understand...I don't watch. When a sport interests me, I study it, over and over and over again obsessively. Frame by frame.

    Oh absolutely. Like I said, after the KO, I stopped watching. Mayweather brought me back in over the past 18 months. But, before the KO, I was just as obsessed about it as I am now. That's why it was easy to catch up what I missed when May brought me back into the sport :) It was actually pretty cool on how much I still remembered even after 2 years.
