I've noticed there has been a wave of NEW boxing fans recently...

The reality shows do a lot to bring in the new fans. Hopefully, if they get on this site enough, they'll learn a lot about the sport, including it's colorful history. Let's face it though, there are plenty of old fans who talk crap about boxers being cowards etc., especially those "remember the good old days" guys. IMO every era, new and old, has had greats that would be great regardless of era.

 

You can always tell the newbs from the pros by looking at their post numbers in comparison to their vcash and working out a ratio.

 

ahhhhh watford, explains everything.

 

the thread about sensitive fanboys have been proven right again, why are you getting butt hurt?

did i diss you?

or did i diss floyd?

 

I usually respect you MasterCalzaghe, but some of us have our vCash tied up in bets

Cashflow problems :twisted:

 

Elaborate...

 

No but it's just so fun ****ing with you chav.

 

i know, in terms of v-cash, you're like the bernard "janitor" hopkins to my richard schaefer.

 

I dunno, but I heard there was an increase in sales at Victoria's Secret.

that is because of oscar and his hotel room phots.

 

:rofl

 

I can appreciate how an influx of new people can be annoying, especially if the majority appear to have very limited knowledge but not all of us will be ignorant of boxings history - I'm new here and have only been a boxing fan for about 10 years but I take as much interest in boxers from the past as I do with those boxing now. I try my best to see as many old and current fights as possible and regularly read about the history of the sport.

 

You are the Charles Schwab of ESB good sir, I salute you!

 

:good

always good to see people anxious to learn more about the greatest sport on earth.

i recommend seeing fights like

lee-locicero
matthew saad muhammad-yaqui lopez 2
bobby chacon-bazooka limon 4
duran-barkley
holyfield-qawi 1
liles-littles 2
barrera-mckinney
gatti-robinson 1
gatti-rodriguez
castro-j.d. jackson 1
chavez-randall 1
carbajal-gonzalez 1
holyfield-dokes

 

only problem is that some of us don't give a **** about vCash.

 

Cheers:good, I'll try to check out as many out as I can. A couple of them are on Youtube, gonna watch Chavez - Randall (link) edit: this is the rematch, doesn't look like all of the first fight is on there), I've seen a bit of Chavez but nothing of Frankie yet. That's the best thing about boxing history, I could probably watch a couple of brilliant fights every week for the rest of my life and I still wouldn't have seen everything worth seeing.
