Out of your group of friends are you the only one who likes boxing?

I've gotten a few of my friends into it, my brother espescially.

My dad got me into boxing, of course with the Tyson craze and all but Tyson just made you want to watch more of Tyson, but when I saw Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler i was like 7 or 8 and that fight made me realise that this is a sport for me!!!! I havent stopped since...

More recently I've gotten my dad and friends into the lighterweights and now they like them much more than the heavies, lets face it heavies are boring in comparison.....

And some people just think I'm a crazy boxing nut with 3 cats

 

snap, u can try and educate ur mates but doesnt always work i think through exposure to great fights and once they get to c what kind of character a certain fighter is they want to know more...

...that and watching fights at 4am in da bar with a loada booze (ave 2 wait to that time as we.r in the UK)

 

most of my mates will watch the big fights but dont realy follow it and all the chicks think its violent

 

I just try to get people to watch Marquez-Vazquez highlights, if their not a fan after watching that then **** em, they're not my friendslol

 

The only reason my friends know about de la hoya, floyd, etc is because of me telling about them:-(

 

None of my friends are boxing fans at all which is a shame as boxing is my favourite sport now by far and the only place I can talk about it is on here.

They probably don't know anybody apart from Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

 

used to be, met a guy at college who seems to know his stuff, before him i only had the friends who worshipped ricky hatton and thats about it

 

hey ah..sorry if i offended you there, i never meant to generalize every frat group. Its just that most of the frat where i'm from just cause trouble and think that they're some kind of superior gang or something(especially the teenies) when their seniors are unlike them.

anyway my family got dissapointed with fights like pbf-dlh and calzaghe-hopkins. I thought hopkins-calzaghe was good but i guess thats just because i'm really on to boxing, to them it was a different thing and they find it a dissappointing performance.

btw, i'm from HNU..:yep

 

None of my close mates are into it, they will come along and watch something big like Mayweather-De la Hoya but not much else. Although a guy from work is a fan and we get out and watch a few fights.

 

sadly most of the big fights are a joke, when big fights come up i used to invite also my friends like hey theres a good boxing fight tomorrow lets go watch...

i also had my family watching too, and boy oh boy everyone got dissapointed..perhaps it just turns out to be a bad fight whenever i invite people to watch:yep pbf-dlh, pac-mab, calzaghe-hopkins then klitscho-ibragimov..

 

I'm the only one. They like to watch Roy Jones and Mayweather highlight video's on youtube, but they don't have the patience to watch and enjoy an entire match. They also want to come along to the gym, but none of them did yet. :rofl

 

three of us like watching boxing

 

You can restore boxing's honor among your friends and family by showing Cotto vs Margarito :yep

 

there's 2 of us, most of them know boxing in general..they only get updated on championship fights and could careless about the undercards. Most are into basketball and going to strip clubs!!:hey

 

A couple of my friends watch Calzaghe, Hatton and Amir Khan fights but that's it. They don't really follow the sport and I can't have a proper discussion with them.

One of my mates once said that Calzaghe looked **** against Kessler and before the Hopkins fight he said Hopkins was going to win. When I asked him why, he said "cos Hopkins has a more muscular upper body." :yep
