    1. I poked fun at one poster's logic that I don't agree with. As for your comments.... "No, he doesnt" is my new gimmick, it's hilarious. When people try to troll me, I just post that, and it seems to bring out all sorts of disturbing truths.

    2. Yes, I've made accusations against you that most will agree, including Lufcrazy, are fair after your surprising offensive attacking posts.

    3. I don't believe I've ever searched for any of your posts, sorry if you feel that way. Yes, I do poke fun at you and your inability to admit honest mistakes. That has always been my beef with you. I could care less which fighters of which color you like, hate..blah blah.

    -Not in this thread, they haven't laughed but they all can't be winners. I have my fans, and I appreciate them.

    1. 'Go back to the general' at a comment about Vitali you're butt hurt about equates to poking fun at a poster?

    2. No most don't agree, LUFC doesn't know the context of your stalking, if the post is untrue, why is it attacking :huh

    3. Regardless you pick fights outside of the topics at hand, it's called trolling

    A sarcastic phrase meaning "as if I could care less about this."

    Stupid people often complain about this phrase, insisting that "I couldn't care less" should be used instead. This is because they fail to realize that "I could care less" is an appropriate and historically popular idiom that dates back to the 1960s.

    The very same morons will probably tell you, "But if you could care less, that means you actually cared about it at least a little bit in the first place." That is because the sarcasm is lost on them. Should you hear this, just smile and enjoy knowing that you are speaking to someone of low intelligence.

    No it's because you're ignorant, have poor grammar, are considered ignorant by anyone who's studied the English language and you repeated a phrase wrongly and are now pretending it's ironic :lol: TBF to you though, your grammar is reasonable enough to correct your mistake, unless you've just copied and pasted that ofcourse

    No. If Young was properly given decisions against Ali, Norton, Shavers, and Dokes, he would clearly be better based on resume.

    When possible I score fights myself not based on judges nor consensus.

    I think young lost to norton but beat shavers, shot ali and prime foreman.

    Conversely byrd has victories over tua, shot holyfield and prime vitali.

    Young has an edge on resume but not a huge edge.

    Byrd has an edge on skill level based on available film.

    Byrd has a big edge in achievement.

    Now if i'd have felt young beat norton i'd probably have seen young as the premiere hw in the world after that fight and that'd be enough to give the edge over byrd, however I don't.

    Was it a peak absolute 100% george? No it wasn't. But it was during his prime years meaning he could have come in at one hundred percent if he had the motivation and or desire.

    Just like tyson v douglas; vitali v byrd; lewis v rahman; wlad v sanders etc it was a man in his prime years making choices which led to him not being in peak condition. In cases like that I give full credit to the victor and hold it against the loser.

    :patsch:patsch:patsch

    I realise my mistake, for the past half year I'd been of the belief that norton got to ali before young which was why I was saying Byrd had achieved more (since he'd actually got to the number 1 spot) but for some reason I randomly checked Ali's record today and Young got there before Norton did, meaning From the Ali fight to the Norton fight I ahve Young ranked number 1.

    So actually young has the edge here since he was number 1 longer and fought more ranked opponents whilst at number 1 (including a ceratin big george).

    So whilt I do consider Byrd to still be the better boxer on film and still a better version of young, I have to concede that Young is much the greater fighter.

    Resume, Achievement: Young >>> Byrd.
    Performance on film: Byrd >>> Young.
