    i don't view a 'casual' as someone who doesnt watch every singly boxing event, its more the people who only watch Anthony Joshua fights or Benn or Eubank coz of their name and they start preaching about how theyre incredible and calling people bums just coz they haven't heard of them, that would be my interpretation of what a casual is

    I would define what you said as more of what a fanboy is. A casual to me is the three million extra people who ordered May vs Pac that normally watch boxing.

    i used those names not for who they are but the fact those names are popular here. so they'll only watch those popular fights and tell you they'd beat everyone just coz thats the only person they've seen and they have a big name. or the people who have only watched Haye/Bellew, AJ fights, and CEJ fights

    The year is 2057. The last few survivors of the human race gather at the wooden throne of their elder. They seek wisdom and salvation from their sagacious leader in such senseless times. They've just days before the next invasion. The elder stops rocking in his catatonic state for just one moment and utters the words they wish to feast upon "Kovaleb beat SOB..............................................."

    Really?? You heard that and remember it almost 30 years ago. How old were you then?. As at the time if I recall Benn wouldn't have been that well known outside Boxing fans circles having just won the Commonwealth Belt, it would have also been before he lost to Watson when along with himself & Eubank the subsequent famed era was still about 2 years off.

    Roy Jones Junior was invincible.

    America is boxing

    Golovkin never faced a ranked opponent before

    Wilder is superior to Golovkin

    Kovalev is a brawler
