    You're not wrong, but try making posts about the lighter guys and the response will be limited.I've tried it with George Lavigne and Sammy Mandell among others.

    Oh boy Richard, where to begin.....let's lead off with:
    Primo Carnera, and all other heavyweights, with the possible exceptions of Buddy Baer, Gene Tunney & Jimmy Young
    Floyd Mayweather...I despise the ******* and if one thread is made about him, it's too many.
    Collectively, the "Fab Four"...
    Roy Jones
    James Toney
    Gerald McClellan

    Not a fighter but a common theme and logical fallacy when debating hypothetical H2H matches.

    Using fights where a fighter is clearly past his prime, shopworn and a shadow of his former self to justify one's opinion of how a prime vs prime H2H would turn out - I actually get frustrated with myself for biting the bait.

    You can soon tell who has an agenda or DKSAB can't you yet we see multitudes of this often on a weekly basis. It's not hard to have some sort of idea when a fighter is green or past it. Christ you can still mention the odd fight of this nature in your prose simply by acknowledging the career stage of the guy. If you don't however you come off as a know nothing.

    I don't believe in censorship so I vote for a free for all name calling.

    Daisy Taylor needs to be rested in the lounge, though.

    Agreed, or else to start a negative dialogue with posters.

    Or, perhaps better yet, ban several members here from watching a single Tyson fight video for two months. Substitute prime videos of Louis, Clay, Liston, Holyfield, Holmes, Wlad.
