    Scribbs, you were doing a damn good job on it too. Still don't know why the plug was pulled.

    Some people didn't like my posting loads of links & bitched about it. At time Gor was moving he asked me to take over the posts but I didn't want to do modern section but agreed. I did this while he moved & was recuperating from ill health also while trawling the web for all the sections.

    Anyway I was fed up & tired when it kicked off so was cranky & with all the comments on the thread Gor got pissed & just pulled it. Tbh, I think he was looking for a way out before it happened, I spoke to him on skype before I took over & when it had kicked off, I don't think his heart was in it anymore - it was a ball-ache.

    Did you go under the same name handle?

    That's a shame, it was one of the originals and there was a time it was one of the better boxing forums around.

    I lost interest in checking it out ages ago for various reasons, but it's sad it's no longer around at all.

    Really good stuff, seems a nice guy.

    Shame about CBZ, quality wee forum, loads of historical stuff in the archives there.

    Curtis has changed some over the years, and in a good way. At one time he came across as arrogant and unwilling to give fighters such as Napoles their due when they bested him, but he is a gentleman now and appreciative of those he met in his day. I enjoyed this interview and would have loved to see him meet Jose when he was in his prime and also Benitez whom I think he might have beaten.
