    I was in the process of making one final thread. Had several things that came to mind including picks for upcoming fights, my thoughts on Gamboa, and an analysis of Margarito vs Cotto. I was in the process of making one entitled There will never be another Roberto Duran, but this video should do all the talking.

    I truly appreciate the goodbye. It's been fun:good

    Well we have to have a proper goodbye thread that stays in the general forum where it all started, right?

    Absolutely.

    It all started with a post regarding the aftermath of Calzaghe vs Lacy.

    .........All the best Brooklyn; not sure for the reasons for your departure, but they need only be understood by you. You've been a credit to ESB.

    Take care.

    Losing a legend is always sad.:verysad

    Look on the bright side though? A comeback here? Is always welcome and has a higher probability of success!!I'm still trying 2 think POSITIVE:D

    Brooklyn 1550, much respect and well wishes!!!
    Cold turkey's a hella *****, may the itch scratch you again SOMEDAY!!:happy

    Regardless? Your legend will live on in memory:yep

    See ya

    come by and post every once in awhile on nights where there is a big fight, dont feel like if you make a post here people will think of you as someone who is weak and not committed.

    good post - ESB accepts comebacks by legends.... unless of course you get old overnight, your legs go, you become shot or fail to make weight :lol:
