Nikolai Valuev vs. Rocky Marciano

I don't want to waste any more time on you weasel.Just concentrate on your biased clips

 

This thread has become something I would do in the training section...

 

You just don't get it do you Moron? I have no problem with insults directed at me,my problem is insults directed at members of my family and I would hazard a guess most posters would find that unacceptable,you obviously haven't grasped that but, as I said, you have problems with reality.
I don't crave your respect, as I have none for you now it would be worthless.I'll continue to talk to you in any way I see fit, how you respond is irrelevant to me.You're continuing this because you are trying to justify the unjustifiable it's that simple.Now run along little man.

 

Sorry to hear that. I hate colds. Hope you get better.

 

Thanks.Had it for 3 weeks now,it started in Kracow ,but thankfully did not impact on our holiday,the X Ray will tell the tale.

 

My point was... Don't think I'm not responding to a point you made if I don't get right back to you or I forget to follow up. Not all of us have infinite time to peck about on a forum. A lot of time, I'm not even in range to use the internet, and if I am, I have other priorities like seeing my bank balance.

I actually do like your video submissions here quite a bit. Some of my favorite posters are guys I do not always agree with.

 

We'll put on a couple of points.
I agree, it's the internet and you have to take everything with a healthy quantity of salt. Disagreements and misunderstandings are bound to occur. A principal disadvantages arising out of anonymity is a loss of civility and accountability. Perhaps it's a sad testament to human nature that when given the chanc,e many turn into keyboard tough guys . I had an issue with a snide punk in the mind-numbing thread Does Size Matter because he didn't like the responses his thread received. People like him do not exist in the real world away from his sticky keyboard, cats, and empty pizza boxes. Rudeness masquerading as being an authority is not impressive. The toughest guys I have ever met are the last ones to behave that way. To the contrary they would offer a chair to your wife or girlfriend in a crowded bar. Similarly, truly knowledgeable people don't need to resort to insults because someone merly disagrees with them. I don't know what was said here, but there is never a reason to bring loved ones into a discussion.

Sometimes Reznick's posts resemble Valentines. We lose something when you are unable to acknowledge the flaws and weaknesses of fighters. By turning them into super heroes you miss out on the great things they accomplished and lose an understanding of the times in which they competed.
That said, Reznick is an asset to the forum. His video contributions are fantastic and his admiration of fighters from the past is often a welcome contrast to those who denigrate the very fighters that gave so much. Mcvey is certainly opinionated and bristles at times. It is not uncommon for me disagree with his opinions. However, here steeped in an obvious knowledge of the history of the game. For the most part, it is understandable when looking at the posters with which whom he has feuded.
I would buy either one of them a beverage and talk boxing.

You also really hit the nail on the head when talking about the General Forum, the repetitive mindless droning which is the staple there is beyond comprehension and offers little to anyone who's looking for information or an interesting discussion, but obviously the Classic Forum has its moments. I have much less tolerance for any it lately. It is a shame, you have a group of people passionate about a subject, more access to information resources than ever before and the ability to share, discuss and debate like never before but much of the potential is squandered because of the inability of some just to be cool.

 

I've only been back a while but Perry wasn't run off the forum by anyone. If he *"left" the forum it was because he couldn't handle an opinion being questioned (Joe Frazier exceedingly slow starter etc) and taken apart. When you deliver the level of arrogance and disrepect he often did (and post down to others) but can't handle your views being questioned and disagreed with too bad. At times he made some great points and other times he misses the mark, often due to adulation. I still 100% believe he was wrong or certainly vastly overstated on the debate he *"left" on.

*Assuming he left. It's likely but anything could have happened.

Burt was great but i wonder if he was suited to an open forum such as this one?

Maybe there's a need for a sub forum where past boxers are remembered and cherished with basically zero criticisms and negative observations.

 

That's genuinely incorrect. I checked at the time and he left about 3 minutes before that particular question was put to him.

Yes it's a shame he left. You have to have a thick skin to survive on a lot of forums now, nature of the beast i guess. Obviously there was no moderation in the matter.

I did see some of Burt's postings. He was extremely fond of certain era's and there was always going to be clashes with more modern posters i guess. His stories were brilliant.

LOL

Maybe a floral background and a ban on head to head debate
