"I was spending a months salary to see a boxing match most likely before you were born(1960), at the time I had spent the previous 10-12 years listening on radio, then later watching boxing on TV(when it was the latest new thing). I have flown cross country, driven 700-800 miles, hitch hiked and even ridden a Greyhound bus to boxing matches all over America. I have a stack of boxing Magazines (and I've read them ) taller than Shaquille Oneal. I marched with Dr Martin Luther King to Selma, and am a veteran of the Vietnam war. I played college football, and tried out for the US Olympic weight lifting team....People I know will tell you they have seldom heard a foul word from me ever, I still call most men "SIR" and most women "Mamn" I always speak politely to people and give every man or woman the respect I believe all human beings deserve. As to whether I'm a real boxing fan or not you are welcome to your own opinion. REGARDS/BOB"
