    Would it have been asking too much to give us advance warning of your intentions?
    God forbid that you might actually canvas opinions on it first.
    Sarcasm is easy and comes naturally to me,some think it clever I suppose.

    Louis was a better counter puncher than Jones because he ws always in position to counter, Jones was more cagey and defensive.

    Michael Caine said something like that in an interview once, pretty funny.

    Look at where Roy`s lead hand is in his fights and how far away his lead is from his opponents head, Louis`s hand is far closer to his opponet ready to strike as soon as they punch which may also account for why Joe missed so many counter hooks compared to Roy he threw more because Roy was usually moving backwards.

    I did give notice; you didn't see it.

    You want moderators to ask permission before they merge a thread?

    No, that certainly won't be possible.

    You know, I must have merged 500 threads in the last ten years on this forum. Literally the only person who has ever complained about it is you.

    re
    I'm the only person you should take notice of.

    Nah, the record will be in the thousands and will belong to one of the long-term General forum mods.
