Funny questions from mates about boxing

[JC]

Not really a question but I'm always amazed how many people assume lighter weight fight won't be able to punch hard enough to knock an opponent out.

I got asked by a taxi driver last year, "I always liked Frank Bruno, when is his next fight?"

My mrs often says "I want so and so to win because they have the nicest shorts". She was quite often livid at some of the monstrosities that Jon Thaxton would wear.

Has anybody experienced any funny questions from non-boxing fan mates which sound ridiculous to you as a boxing fan? If so, please share.

1)Why did Prince Naseem never fight Lennox Lewis?

2) My middle-aged female hairdresser when I told I her I would be watching the boxing (Hatton/Mayweather) that weekend. "Oh, Ricky Hutton is fighting isn't he?"

3) My mates when I told them I was going to watch Haye v Klitschko in Hamburg: "You'll be absolutely gutted that you spent all that money if Haye knocks out Klitschko in the first round."

4) Klitschko isn't in the heavyweight division, he's in the superheavyweight division.

Had the one about the super heavyweights loads of times. Also when I was going to see hatton pacquiao a bloke in work couldn't believe I was spending 200 quid on a ticket cos hatton was only fighting a bum
