    Thanks for pulling this together! Hopefully other people will jump in and revive some of these threads when they get time to rewatch some of these fights. I know I'm still behind on a few of them...

    How do we make it a sticky? Does it need a mod to do it?

    Ah, boys, I dunno...

    Here's a thread I started six or seven years ago, which has thirty or forty fights, which were unique on the internet at the time of their upload that have accompanying posts exploring them and it never made "sticky" status:

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...zario-juan-nazario-tko8-edwin-rosario.249952/

    Stickies in Classic have tended to be threads that required serious historical research or involved a 100 pages of forum participation. They don't get given away.

    And even still with this high, high bar, Admin come along and clear out the stickies every once in a while.

    There just didn’t seem to be a whole lot of interest and I ended up not making time for it myself. Planning to go back through, finish up the fights I never got around to rescoring, and try to get some new ones started too.

    Not sure if I have enough time in next weeks, but I can try scoring Ali vs Norton and Frazier bouts.

    Unfortunately watching/scoring fights did not generate a lot of interest in this forum. There were about 3-4 guys who scored regularly but unfortunately this fizzled due to lack of interest...

    I have largely gone to scoring the fights I watch in the what fights did you watch/score today sticky

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/the-what-fights-did-you-watch-today-scorecard-thread.186016/

    Don’t take it personal if it does not generate interest...oddly enough for a classic forum black and white film generated even less interest and input.

    Other than that I am active at eye on the ring which is a good resource for keeping an online record of fights you score.
