Larry Holmes vs Gerry Cooney Was Very Competitive

God I hate when that happens.

 

Yeah JT, thanks for confirming it's new. Can't say I like it very much. I seem to recall that once upon a time, I could type up a post, sit on it indefinitely, then edit or delete it according to how it read upon reflection. (I probably deleted ten drafts for every carefully edited and assiduously reviewed post I finally submitted.)

I've been very well familiar with your craftmanship here for around 17 years now, so this externally imposed compromise will be extremely obvious, and I'll certainly recognize that it's not necessarily precisely what you want to convey. That means I'll have to be especially cautious about how I respond to your contributions, or even whether to reply at all.

The immense respect and cachet you've spent nearly two decades earning here shouldn't be compromised in any way, and now I'm concerned it might be among new arrivals not familiar with your characteristically well measured level of output. I'm frustrated on your behalf.

 

You're a good man my friend. I will have to take more time as i am prone to rushing posts due to having to go somewhere or do something lol. I'll try and proofread everything properly before posting - no rushing or shortcuts.

And look at the confusion already. I knew something was off with your post as you don't make simple errors. At that moment i didn't realise it wasn't a simple glitch with the edit caper, it's a permanent setting. We'll all have to be a bit more careful i guess.

 

Yeah and now we won't be able to fix it. Better late than never is gone hahaha

 

It's one thing to make Cooney a live underdog.

It's another thing completely to say Usyk wouldn't survive him with certainty.

 

Edits are still working for me???

 

They’re not working for me. Perhaps @McGrain can clarify if this is a glitch or a site revamp.

 

I didn’t see a competitive fight? To quote Holmes “Man, Why am I doing this to another man?” Cooney however valiant took a beating, Holmes carried him along (as planned) till later when he was running on fumes. Larry gave him a painful lesson in boxing.

 

Ive been wondering what you guys are talking about the past few days. None of the described issues seem in effect on my end.

 

Finally we have an issue where we differ.

 

Edits still operational on my end too? could be they’re using a PC or a laptop etc, I noticed this site is junk computer.

 

I’m exclusive to my phone. Maybe that has something to do with it.

 

holmes boxed and wa#ed for Coone# gassing and cleaned up

muoh less compe$ive #han holmes/Weaver, holmes/Wi#herspoon and holmes/Williams

 

I'm on PC. Can you edit, say, a day later?

 

Ney - I wanted to edit a few of your posts that I didn’t agree with (just to help you out) but lo and behold, there was no edit function available to do so.

That there is a joke I say.

More seriously, FWIW, my own edit function is still available also.
