In recent months I have posted a few threads about an upcoming series called "The Gods of War." This series will count down the top 10 p4p fighters since 1920 and will try to inject some objectivity and sense into not only "who" is great, but "what" is great. I've been immersed up to my eyebrows in this for almost two months now. I've lost all my friends, I'm malnourished, and I talk to ghosts. I hope it's worth it. There are a few of your fellow Classic posters who had an impact on this effort. One of them offered an argument that beat down mine and forced me to raise Henry Armstrong three places, so hats off to him. For those interested in following this series, it begins here: http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/7534/gods-war-series-introduction/ Thanks to everyone who contributed to the threads that helped form this work.
Congratulations on a great project, brother. I love your "voice". When I read something you've written, even when you're just banging away at the keys on ESB, "you" come through, and it's loud and clear. Hope you have a warm Christmas.
Returned, times two. I also enjoyed your recent interactions with John Garfield, who's a legend in these parts. And like everyone else out here, I sense that your dad is very present on this forum. For the curious... "The Tenth God of War" makes his appearance tomorrow on that site...
intro is sweet, is the number 10 up yet? keep us posted when it goes up, looking forward to it very much....
Stonie, I emailed you that thing and it just sat in my drafts. I do apologise. Anyway, impressive stuff.
Stoney great read that really like your writing, you sound like just an old timer boxing enthusiast i really like that, also you seem to have an open mind taht many of the older fans dont for example Mathematic rankings and ranking Pacquiao highly. Looking forward to installment one
