Because it is childish and unnecessary like a lot of your posts. If you are replying in a thread why would you need to @mention someone ? If you have nothing new to offer then why bother?

It's also just incredibly lazy, like listing points and expecting people to reply to each point in order because you can't extrapolate an argument from a post and you want everything handed to you on a plate. If you had read anything about the history of boxing or even bothered to google the subject it would be quite obvious to you that more knockouts due to wearing gloves is just the basics. You can be a noob and pretend that they were invented for the safety of boxers and that bare knuckle fights lead to more knockouts but you are just kidding yourself.

The worst part of it is the pedantic and frankly laughable idea that you are above commenting on a fight that has more in common with the history of boxing than half the spoon fed rubbish you think is "pure", or some such nonsense. Of course it's a circus, it's always a circus, that is in it's genes, just like grappling.

If you are offended then I apologise but frankly you have missed the point if you think the point of a forum is to just rip the piss out of people and be condescending.

You are supposed to present counter arguments not just go with the flow.

😂😂😂😂😂 @Beanz, this is fucking hilarious! You are going right off the top board here, it's fucking great!
I'm a bit busy at the moment, but please give me a few hours and I'll reply properly to your dissertation, trying as hard as I can to state FACTS!
I am literally pissing myself here!

If UFC fighters could hang with boxers, they would just go into boxing because they make way more money. Why would Conor remain in the UFC if he could make $20 million in one boxing match? That's probably 4 times what he would make his entire UFC career.

Also, I don't trust anything Paulie says because he is working with Conor. Obviously he isn't going to say something like "Conor is talented but obviously isn't anywhere near the level of a top boxer." That's why he says things like he doesn't have really good power but neither do a lot of people. The only chance he has to beat Floyd is to have OMG power. If he doesn't, then his chances go from .01% chance of winning to 0% chance.

Paulie did say "he's nowhere near a top boxer" just in a more subtle manner. He would come across as a massive two-faced dick if he said Conor is crap, has no power and is getting slaughtered after "helping" him.

Saying only a handful of guys have frightening power with big 16 oz gloves was saying Conor isn't the power puncher they all claim. It's bloody obvious any decent boxing puncher wearing UFC gloves is going to be a devastating sparko artist.

Paulie saying Conor has his own style, that there's "method to the madness" was basically saying "Conor doesn't know what he's doing."

Agreed. He doesn't want to come out and obviously lie so he just spins it the best way possible.

childish and unnecessary? Don't be fuckin stupid. Like @Fenster previously said (but you probably never bothered to read it) it saves loads of long meaningless quotes that most people wouldn't be bothered to go through and also find it quite annoying because they take 10 minutes to scroll to the bottom of the page. Still , you don't give a fuck about anybody else , so I'll make this a nice long fucking post to keep you happy and piss everyone else off.

It's also just incredibly lazy, like listing points and expecting people to reply to each point in order because you can't extrapolate an argument from a post and you want everything handed to you on a plate.
Uh, no. Replying point by point is
A. Being polite and ensuring that every point is replied to, not cherry picking bits that you can answer and ignoring bits you have no answer. I have noticed that you're a bit of an expert at that.
B. For Clarity.

If you had read anything about the history of boxing or even bothered to google the subject it would be quite obvious to you that more knockouts due to wearing gloves is just the basics. You can be a noob and pretend that they were invented for the safety of boxers and that bare knuckle fights lead to more knockouts but you are just kidding yourself.
Again, like I said many times previously. I wasn't necessarily arguing with you on this subject. @Batman came up with a statement that pretty much sums up where I stand on this. The safety element regarding cuts with less padded gloves is equally as relevant as your point about broken hands. My actual point was your pathetic , desperate reply to a post "anyone who disagrees with me is full of shit"

you made yourself look a proper cunt tbf

The worst part of it is the pedantic and frankly laughable idea that you are above commenting on a fight that has more in common with the history of boxing than half the spoon fed rubbish you think is "pure", or some such nonsense. Of course it's a circus, it's always a circus, that is in it's genes, just like grappling.
The main reasons I don't wish to comment on this joke fight, therefore supporting it like twats like you, are:
A. You have a guy earning crazy money having never boxed professionally in his life fighting the best Boxer of the last 20 years.Thousands of Boxers worldwide have spent their whole lives making sacrifices to try to be the best Boxer they can be that will never get this kind of opportunity, yet many of them would beat McGregor, how can that be right?
B. It's immoral that they earn these ridiculous sums when people are fucking starving in some parts of the World.
C. It's probably gonna be a fix , but if mugs like you want to fucking analyse this shite, crack on. It's pathetic really.

If you are offended then I apologise but frankly you have missed the point if you think the point of a forum is to just rip the piss out of people and be condescending.
I did say I was a TINY bit offended, as I always respond with facts , like I'm doing now.
You are supposed to present counter arguments not just go with the flow.

I think it's safe to say that I've done that. Beanz, you seem to have a load of pent up anger and frustration in your irrational posts. I think you probably need to get laid or something so you can relax . Perhaps you'll stop talking so much shite then!

**Spicoli** · 07-27-2017 01:24 PM

30 day mark and still no official opponent for belt of Gervonta Davis. Pretty clear these will be window dressing filler fights, title fight or not.
