    ;-)

    I'm learning about how much work I need to put into my writing all the time. Still, I'm still trying to gauge my 'tone' in this thread; still clinging to the notion that people will actually visit this when they want to get the lowdown on a fighter....but don't want to read through 1000+ words :D

    But as I say, the next one will be....action packed :yep

    Arguello :deal

    I might tweak my Taylor piece. There's far too much writing. I might upload the Blake and Garcia fights, remove some of my jabbering, and tone down my description of the Chavez/Taylor fight (There's so much writing, you don't even need to watch the fight itself :yep).

    Sorry LP, but I NEED to get this down.

    I'm vary wary that if someone grabs a bit of the cake (all will be clear tomorrow) the concept will be ****ed. It's taken me all week since I got the idea last weekend (from a thread made on the Classic) and I'm eager to share it with you lads :good

    Don't complain LP, I actually had you in mind when I thought about who might enjoy it :thumbsup

    I'm gonna do Larry Holmes next (unless it's already been done, or someone else wants to do it). Then Tyson part II.

    Yes....and no ;-)

    One thing I tried to cut down on the Starling piece (but failed for the most part) but have been very conscious about eliminating in this next one.

    I had that in mind when I was doing Tyson part I, but I think I tipped the scales too far on the opposite side (too much video, too little writing). It's tough to get a perfect balance.

    That's a good idea, actually :good.

    What, steal LP's idea?

    I wouldn't mind switching it up I suppose, I had/have no plans on doing another as it stood. Augustus aside I really don't like any of my ones. And that's not a plea for my ego to be stroked, I just don't like the work done on them.
