    How many posters would you actualy want to leave?

    Only a poster who is deliberately obnoxious to other posters or makes sustained personal attacks on a given fighter should be asked to leave.

    Well you are half right:lol:
    Actually I beleive Mendoza ,when not on his hobby horses of the Klits ,Jeffries and Johnson, is a fine poster.
    A miserable human being ,but a fine poster:lol:
    My Dad ,God rest him ,once told me ,he was rather pissed at the time, and about 76/7,"Don't take it seriously,its only a game ",he was talking about life.

    We could continue this dance all night, but that would be pretty dull. I think calling someone a bigot is not too far removed from calling them a racist that dictionary definitions should be trotted out to claim innocence. But as I have now said twice, as I don't know the details of the original conflict, I should have kept my nose out. If, as you say, Mendoza has called you a 'racist arsehole' then you have every right to retaliate in whichever way you see fit, and it only further proves I was wrong to chip in. You should relax about being called 'cranky' though, it's not exactly a character assassination. Your first post to me was decidedly cranky in tone. See you around. :good

    Bigotry and racism are not the same thing. Racism is an institutional system in which one group is subordinated to another politically, economically, culturallys, etc. based on race. Bigotry is animosity towards a person based on religion, nationality, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, etc.

    Get this one then, unless you're younger than 30. Great Aussie band and this is maybe their finest hour i think. This was their mini breakthru in the U.S. but just after the their guitarist/co vocalist died unfortunately.

    Run, hold, run, run, run, hold, run, run, hold, run, hold, run, run, run, hold, run, run, hold, run, hold, run, run, run, hold, run, run, hold, run, hold, run, run, run, hold, run, run, hold, run.

    What a horrible negative fighter. He's as bad as Mayweather.

    I agree , he did run and hold... but that doesn't that he didn't win..

    He Outclassed Froch, Froch could not land anything on him

    Who do you think won? Dirrell or Froch. Vote and explain.

    I thought Dirrell won. He had the cleaner more effective shots, better ring generalship although at times he ran a little too much but I like how he stepped up his aggression in the championship rounds.

    Froch was aggressive but it was mostly ineffective aggressiveness.

    Dirrell should be the new WBC champ.

    One guy was trying to make it a fight the other one was trying to spoil it by running. Not just that but also clinching and falling over 10 times to aavoid being hit.

    Thanks. You now, even though there are your occassional idiots on this forum I have to say that a lot of people who were either rooting for Froch because they liked him or because of national ties have been very forthcoming and saying that there man lost.
