    Conversations + boxing + co-workers = laughter.......

    So I was wondering....how many people on here actually converse with co-workers and family about boxing?

    I work in the Bay Area and there are a good mix of people here that I work with that thouroughly enjoy boxing.....blacks, whites (american and euro), asian (chinese, thai, filipino, japanese, samoans, tongans), latinos (PRs, Mexican, Nicoraguan, Panamanian etc...) and the topics we talk about EVERYDAY change from "back in the day fighters" to prospects we catch on VS.....but somehow it all always comes back to 3 major topics.....Pacquiao....Mayweather....and Plaster......

    Pacquiao talks go something like this...."Man....that lil' muthashucka is a beast"......."Welterweight is the limit that that lil' chinaman (keep in mind he is pinoy) can go no doubt".........."He still steady knockin nuggas out huh?"......"Still can't believe that **** he put on Hatton"......

    Mayweather talks go something like this......"Dis nugga need to start backin his **** up"........."That chinaman Pac is makin mah boy look bad"......"All the money in the world...and he still look like a chump"........"He need to fight Shane or Cotto"......"I ain't sayin he ain't got no skills....cuz he do...but that nugga need some heart"....

    On the plaster topic......."He ain't had plaster for all those fights"........"You mean it took him fighting a nugga to find out he was cheating!"......"That **** is worse than brass knuckles"......."That nugga should be locked up".....

    Anyone else talk boxing at their jobs?

      It can be hilarious. Sometimes they need to be educated. And it usually ends up like this...

        Its great to talk boxing with all these different perspectives.......

        You have the "haters"....the "morons" and the "logicals"......Its always great to listen to the "haters"......they have so much love/hate for a certain fighter...that even when the "logicals" point out the flaws.....they still don't get it....

                i constantly discuss boxing with my dad and brother but it always ends in arguing because they're two flaming *****s. no matter who you mention, floyd can eat them alive with his eyes closed.

                  Funny thing is...in the back of your mind...when your talking about boxing with that type of "fan".....all you can do is just laugh and think...."Dam...he really don't know ****!"

                    Two co-workers at my job are like that (both latino) and guess who they defend till the death....effen Pacquiao!?!?!?!?!?!?! I mean....I love Pac and all...but even I see the flaws and careful matchmaking.....but they swear up and down that Pac rivals JCC.....I just look at them and ask..."Yeah.....you got anymore ceviche?"
