    If I knew someone ranked Packey McFarland in their top 20 fighters of all time and knew nothing else about them, I'd immediately think it likely they were a hardcore boxing fan.

    casual fans support boxers, hardcore fans support promoters

    **** you ,Sonny Liston is the goat. Probably my top 3 favourite fighter. Seen that Cleveland Williams fight? both but the 2nd one was great.

    My 1st favourite fighter is probably Ali though

    A hardcore one watches 4 rounders. In other words: me.

    How many fights do people actually watch back for fun? I was watching some Whitaker the other day, had a great time actually.

    Casuals don't shadowbox in the shower

    When your car breaks down casuals don’t say glass engines exist.

    Hardcore: Someone that actually loves the sport as a whole, admires all fighters from different eras, appreciates different styles of boxing, has a very fair and open mindset of all fighters with no bias views, and educated enough in boxing history.

    Casual: Someone that only follows current mainstream fighters. Can be prone to be huge d/ckriders of specific fighters to an insane degree. Has no respect for past fighters. Also thinks that a loss automatically makes a fighter bad and that being undefeated is the only path of being great.

    I watch a lot of Povetkin, Inoue and Sasaki fights back. Also I've watched Fa vs Browne and Beppu vs Yada several times. If you haven't seen Beppu vs Yada, go check it out. It's completely insane.

    Meh I'm pretty good on Povetkin. Will check that Yada fight out for sure. Sounds Jap? I have random boxing channels subscribed on my youtube so fights randomly pop up. I have this one channel called "Fleaboxing" - look it up, great content on there if you want to watch past stuff of old greats.

    Flea Man - He was one of the best posters here.

    A casual thinks Tyson Fury is the greatest heavyweight of all time
    and Canelo is a top 3 pound for pound

    Here, I'll put a fight from there on now since I'm getting warmed up for the Parker card later. Any in particular you recommend?
