    Those that love to use the blog, that I won't mention, that called Shavers 'featherfisted' and that ALI was (B) level and that Frazier and Norton were 'tomato cans'. Those guys struck a nerve with me.

    This is the best news on ESB Classic for quite some time, thanks McGrain.

    PS - when will your HW top 10 be available please? 100-11 has been a great read.

    someone from that blog posts here regularly, using a different alias everytime he gets banned. Ive ousted him a number of times. There's plenty of those types in general. Its shocking some of the stuff they come out with

    A step in the right direction for this forum :good

    But a far and away bigger problem is the Aussie forum. Who is meant to be looking after it?

    I agree with most of your comments. But not sure why it doesn't matter? It is still there and should be moderated like every other forums here. Instead it is lawless and as a result pointless.

    personally I don't agree with calling fighters bums.especially when the poster, more than likely has never been near the ring.

    Very good. I think those who mock, personally insult, act abusively, should be strongly warned once that they must completely turn around the content &/or tone of their comments, & preferably apologize. but if they do it again, they will be banned from posts & any alts. Maybe make it a 1/2 year ban so they can have another chance, then if again start causing harm to the site with immature comments that mo9st would not have the courage to do in real life-at least to any who they found a threat-

    Cut them off forever.

    Don't ban those with unpopular opinions, If wrong or extreme they may well not be a troll. But no mockery or other disparaging comments & cruelty.

    Fighters deserve respect for their efforts & courage, & the vast majority of the "bums would lay out most who critiqued them. I never use the term, but I would not agree in being so politically correct as to ban any who use it. I wonder how the specific phrase got started anyway?

    Agreed.having a go at a 'chinny' fighter is a bit pointless too.

    I really dislike the glass jaw type threads most fighters if caught right can go down

    We don’t want any moderation on the Classic Forum.

    It should be a place of wild excess!
