    this is one of the smartest & most RESPECTFUL post I've read on here in a long time. well spoken.

    Most people come to read, learn, discuss and enjoy, but some come to rule & reign by whatever means necessary, these are the trolls or better phrase troublemakers and every site ends up overtaken by them.

    the word Troll anyway, is really a word associated with the Youth POP Culture of Internet Blogs and all the young ones do is Insult & Bicker and tear each other down - so ANYONE that disagrees with them can be labelled a troll... and as you point out often times INCORRECTLY.

    the Real Trolls are the Bullies & Troublemakers, whether learned or not and these are the ones that should go... but as Boxing Sites go you'd be reduced to little participation as So Many GOOD People eventually move on.

    Well spoken Entaowed, hopefully decency can return, but never as long as sites get ruled by people who disregard other peoples impute whether simply stated (discussed) or reported by history! :deal

    I've posted approx 4000 posts between CBZ, BoxRec, ESB and said relative might show up in the search approx. 600 times.

    Thanks for your response Matt.

    If it's any help, off topic I know (!), but I have JL as No.1!!!

    PS - I don't understand the "Robert" reference?

    Why just the classic section? The general forum isn't very healthy either. Full of chin/bum/race/hype job crap.

    While most,if not all,of us enjoy a passionate debate about a topic,we should be able to contribute without petty insults

    Anyone mention you?

    I'm talking about McGrain's Uncle, Billy McGrain who was the uncrowned welterweight champion of Great Britain, it's common knowledge no one would fight him.

    No one knows him because there's a conspiracy of silence about his career ,but he was never beaten in the ring.

























    Detractors may say, "well he never had any fights?"

    The fact remains he was undefeated with a a perfect record of:

    O-O-O

    Sadly there is no known footage of the fights he did not have.:hi:

    Can you stop trying to get others in the ****, I can see you're playing at from here. Man up and admit you've trolled plenty of times, I admit I have. Time to admit our mistakes and move on.

    Well said. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should be free to voice it, but in a courteous, respectful manner. No need for insults.
    And agree 100 % about respecting all fighters

    I have no problem with it especially if the shoe fits where the line should be drawn for me is when people use bad language or say things like I hope you or your family member/kids die of cancer that sort of stuff should result in an immediate 3/5 day ban
