    I asked my mom if she remembers Mike Tyson, she only remembers the fact he bit "some dudes" ear off.

    I asked her about, Ali and she only knew " float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

    The responses are great, what were some of yours?

    They dont know **** about boxing, asking why doesnt he ko him already (not a klitschko fight) just hit him in the face and drop him.
    calling boxing boring compared to k1 and mma.
    Saying how boxing is dead because they dont know anyone.
    If I ask can you name one active fighter you get answers like uhm yeah that big russian dude(klitschko), ow **** there are 2?.....:patsch
    I showed a friend pac vs jmm 2 he only said hmm I prefer guys like tyson.
    :twisted:

    I showed my wife a picture of Sergio Martinez.

    "Wow, he's really good looking. When does he fight next?"

    We don't talk about boxing anymore.

    My mother's a big fan of the Klitschko's and hates Khan, Haye and Chisora. She also likes Benn/Eubank/Malignaggi and really likes Enzo Maccarinelli and hates it when he gets sparked.

    My mother's definitely a G.

    And I can't really bare to talk boxing with casual fans, it kills me to hear their uninformed opinions.

    "Ricky Hatton could've beaten Joe Calzaghe anyday!"

    People don't talk boxing with me through fear of getting something wrong. Pussies.

    i try not to talk to casuals about the sport

    my one roommate is starting to get into it due to FNF

    They only really know Pac n Floyd and it sucks explaining how the 2 best havent faced each other

    i have friend who likes MMA so we will educate each other on the two sports

    :D

    I get people saying sh!t like that to me all the time they don't realize there are a ton of weight divisions and i kind of understand they don't look much bigger than one another on tv because there all in great shape and you don't see them on tv everyday its hard for a casual fan to store in his head the size of each boxer without seeing them regular.

    I heard:

    Can't mayweather fight hopkins, they said this because they heard oscar thought them both

    Mayweather vs calzaghe

    :lol: that came out of nowhere
