Rep away the guy is a great poster. You can toss any amount of insults at a large section of the board that might take issue with some of your sweeping statements, but personally my bottom is fine and calling me a baby is not the same as answering a post. If you want to throw your lot in with infantile posters who dismiss everybody pre 1990 as fighting in an era crowded with bums and take offence at people merely acknowledging Mayweather as a great fighter rather than elevating him to the pinnacle of their own p4p list then I guess I should not be surprised that your own sense of humour is as brittle as Floyds hands.Quote:

It is simply my opinion and the result of using my eyes in judging effective ring marshalling abilities, stamina and techniques that are just not as prevalent today. IMHO.
I don't think Boxing is merely a sport or a game. For me it is also an art form and as so, appreciation of it is entirely subjective. In reality there is no such thing as bad art. I will often wrtie and argue till I am blue in the face that there is but in the end I like what I like and you like what you like. There are points where we may be in common agreement but neither of us is going to change what the other one loves.

Don't want to interrupt the flow here but I wanted to say great thread. Lots of quality information.
^^. I just don't understand how some people get so emotional over a sport we all obviously love. I think it's the work of a few trolls mainly, there is a rift being created between genuinely great objective posters. Both Bean(s,z) are terrific contributors here imo. Some of ya'll are being reduced to some bullshit round hurrr lately.

Wasn't thinking about you when I wrote that. I don't disrespect anyone who puts thought into a post and offers up some logic behind their post, as much as I might disagree with it.Quote:

There's a lot of babies on the forum who can't debate a point and just misquote you or call you a nut hugger, those are the ones that annoy me.

Then I apologise. You are correct as P4PKing pointed out there are a couple of trolls stirring it up lately with not a lot else to add to the forum.
