The Wind - My First Post

[Kev]

Hi Wind and welcome to the forum.

Ignore No Contest's rude snide at myself. Contrary to popular belief I accept that everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Of course that does not alter the fact that my own is the only one that counts

Hello to Everyone out there, no doubt you will be from across the globe, well a BIG hello to you all, Ek Pyar!

As you can see this is my first post on the forum, I’ve been reading the many topics and posts from various people and there are certainly a lot of interesting subjects.

I’m a big fan of most sports and I’ve been into Sport from whenever I can remember really, one of the many sports I follow with a great deal of passion is of course, Boxing.

Welcome aboard the Saddo Express.

Heres CC#7 on me. Just do what you do, protect yourself at all times and come out swinging. Like any family we get along well but we also have our days were no one can stand eachother. We get past it, for example Wacko3205 was dating Ice Cold Boxing if you notice now they can't even be in the same Topic cause they got at eachother throat. They're still working out their differences so you just gotta keep in mind to steer clear from them and let them work it out.

Anyways, I look forward to some interesting chats, discussions and no doubt some rather heated debates as well as sharing my knowledge of Boxing with you and of course gaining as much knowledge from some of you more knowledgeable posters!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

The Wind.

Hope to see you around for times to come.
Merry X-Mas & Happy New Year.

I would like to think quality over quantity.

This is something I go by. I always make this exact comment.
Quality over quantity.

My question to you is: How do you pronounce the name? Is it "wind" as in "run like the wind," or "wind" as in "wind-up"?

It's "The Wind" like the one "that sweaps someone from within under their feet"

That's very romantic. Our resident "GAY" CuteMick will love that. He's been dying for someone new to sweep him off of his feet.

or like you say "run like the wind,"

Which is what I would expect you to do when our resident "GAY" CuteMick comes calling for you to sweep him off of his feet...run like the gotdam wind, Wind.



Oh CuteMick's G-A-Y alright...ask him why he's called "BELTNECK" around here. He'll love that.

A very useful insight about other members, I have nothing against Gay's but I'm strictly a ladies man.

Some good fighters being mentioned on your lists, all the usual greats that be mentioned, I'm surprised not to see Hagler on more of your lists?

Cheers for the exra effort on you lists.

I personaly would have included Duran in the the Most Skilled, Exciting fighters and Hardest highters list.

I think it's alarming how Duran isn't given credit for his Defensive skills, and in terms of general skill again he's up there, cutting the ring off, slipping punches and of course with ref to Hardest Hitters he has plenty of KO's. just a thought.



What's with the Sad Click? not sure who that was but can't say I deserve that, please expalin yourself.

He is joking bro Mick has a girlfriend, Wacko is married, and i not long ago got engaged to my girlfriend who i have been with since High school.

I personaly would have included Duran in the the Most Skilled, Exciting fighters and Hardest highters list.

Depends what you look for in skills me personally i like slick boxers like Mayweather, Whitaker, or precise punchers like Arguello.

Not sure about Duran being in the most exciting fighters if all time list, even though he is up there the fighters i mentioned may of not been as good as Duran. But they were more exciting IMO. guys like Chacon, Norris, were always in wars very entertaining to watch.

As for Hardest hitters list a case could be made for Duran at Lightweight, but most of the fighters i mentioned could spark someone out with 1 punch, with Duran i feel he used to wear guys down with barrage of punches.

think it's alarming how Duran isn't given credit for his Defensive skills, and in terms of general skill again he's up there, cutting the ring off, slipping punches and of course with ref to Hardest Hitters he has plenty of KO's. just a thought.

I give Duran plenty of credit for his defensive skills, he is one of the best defensive fighters of all time at coming forward. Not many boxers who are aggressive as Duran are so good on defense.

A sad click is given when someone don't agree with your post or they just do it for the hell of it. You can only give out 1 Sadclick or Coolclick every 24 hours, i did not give you a Sadclick i gave you a Coolclick earlier.
