    Top post. My missus gave birth in December and I tried my very very hardest to allow it to be called Floyd/Marco if it was a boy. i was flat out refused but it didn't stop me arguin the fact that a white baby would look cool as a Flord :lol:

    I'd name a kid Floyd after Floyd Patterson. But not Gayweather.

    When I have my half Thai kid I'ma call him Khaokor :deal

    I was on my own in Argentina and don't speak a word of Spanish. I went to see some boxing there which turned out to have women boxing the main event.

    Anyway, on my way back to my hotel I stopped to get a bottle of water. The lady handed me a massive bottle, to which I instinctively replied "Chiquita"

    I only knew this (subconciously I guess) because of Humberto Gonzales

    It worked and she gave me a little one without batting an eyelid

    She is a racist ***** Ishy I agree. Thats what I called her. Although to be fair I did admit (privately and not to her face) that it probably was a bit weird calling a white child Floyd :lol:

    Watching Prizefighter, have to be either sadomasochistic or obsessed.

    If we'd had a boy my Mrs seemed ok with the idea of him having Cassius Marcellus as middle names :yep

    Lol. I do this. I also find myself slipping and sliding to the side when passing people in corridors, really concentrating on my footwork. When I get pissed I find myself attempting to use the pull light in the bathroom as a makeshift speedbag (it never works).

    You have to love boxing to go to sleep early without drinking, set the alarm and wake up at an unGodly hour, only to watch your favourite fighter take a pasting ; head sullenly back to your pit and get woken up, bleary eyed at 7am after an hour and a halfs kip, by your kid jumping up and down on the bed :deal

    I don't think I'm an obsessive fan, I just do some weird things. I work at Royal Mail :patsch Yeah :yep Lol, anyway, I often get bored, and we stack those big letters A4 size on top of eachother. Sometimes some poke out, so I look around to check it's clear, and I punch them, jab, jab, straight, til they go in. We also have this thing called a 'horseshoe'. Basically it's about 9 cages all set out in the shape of a horseshoe, and they're all different locations. You get a packet out, and throw it into the cage with the right location. I stand infront of the cages and like to get people to throw packets at me, so I can parry them, or use epic head movement to get out the way. It's getting good, because people do it now without me asking, and my reflexes are really tested. I've demonstrated a good jaw, probably the best jaw in royal mail :deal
    Before I shower, I look at myself in the mirror, and shadowbox as the water heats up. Also before a shower, I undress as if I'm about to get on the scales. Sometimes I decide to keep my socks on, as a statement to my imaginary opponent that I've made the weight easily, and don't need to take my socks of to make weight. I also hit the shower curtain before I shower. I once hit it too hard and the whole thing fell down.
