    I really dont see how its worth the effort he puts in to all of that so consistently

    trolling obviously, but the 'people getting angry>>>amount of time spent writing all that **** in that style' ratio is appalling

    Agreed.

    Maybe we could reach a consensus on Classic and we all just put Frank on ignore. Then he'd disappear and we would no longer get eye strain from trying to decipher his bull**** anymore.

    I also agree with pp in that the gift decisions where past his prime and after his legacy had already been secured.

    Then you have people like saxton who's whole entire legacy is based on gift decisions.

    Doug Jones and Alonzo Johnson were not past Ali's prime .
    But in Ali's case whenever it was not a gift decision it was something much worse .
    In a case of a gift decision u at least know that its benefitor managed 2 last d distance .

    In d cases of 4man , Cooper #1 and probably others , it is more than just conceivable that Ali would not have lasted d distance if it was not 4 Mirena's acts .



    and this is a great reply that IDK how it came from some1 else rather than by me :

    The thing with Frankie boy,is that in general he's quite a knowledgeable boxing man. It's only when it comes to the subject of Muhammad Ali,that his boxing brain goes out the window and the space gets filled with bull**** of the smelliest kind :D As I've told him more than once,his dislike of Ali as a character,closes his mind to Ali the fighter.

    His texting style IS friggin' well hard to decode though :lol:

    The Alonzo Johnson and Doug Jones fights was n't a prime Ali either. The young Cassius Clay was still developing,physically,and as a fighter.
