    You guys do the talking. Not me really. I just want to know what you guys think of my approach to the fights. Do you guys want me to approach them from a different viewpoint? Do you guys like the round-by-round updates? I would like to hear all of it, unless of course you're just on here to tell me I'm a f ing moron.

    I like your work William. I confess that I haven’t read every thread but the ones I have were informative.

    Keep them coming. i don't see any reason to do anything differently.

    As I posted once before, I really enjoy discussing actual filmed fights rather than fantasy match-ups.

    Ok. Thanks. I really enjoy the discussions too. I feel that you've been almost as instrumental to their success as I have! Sorry though, I posted a fantasy match today. :(:camper:

    Seems like you watch the fights without much context sometimes. It happens. Otherwise I’d forgo scoring fights where only a couple minutes of a few rounds are available. Just watch and evaluate.

    Surprised you haven’t made a thread on the Ross/Canzoneri fight yet. Easily your best upload so far.

    Yeah, I do sometimes. I've done most of my reading in the past, whereas now I'm focusing on watching. I still do go back on read sometimes, especially before I post sometimes. But yeah, sometimes I have no clue to the context, like on the Dempsey-Levinsky exhibition. I had no idea Dempsey's financial and relational issues going on at that time caused the exhibition tour Levinsky was a part of, or that Dempsey didn't want to fight Levinsky, but was under contract.

    Anyway. Ross/ Canzoneri is in the future. I go through matches chronologically, but it's not too far off. I am looking forward to both watching and posting on it.

    I love all your threads, and approach to fights. Very unique and refreshing from a youthful viewpoint.

    As for the person who called you an "f ing moron" , he also made the following posts
    As well as other outlandish and dangerously stupid posts.

    Taking that into consideration, the fact that he didn't like your threads, should reassure you, you're on the right path. Don't let anyone ever tell you different kid.

    You do some very interesting threads and comments William. It's good to see young guys like yourself having a great interest and knowledge about classic boxing. Keep it up!

    I do think that you are a terrific poster, so not ever change your format on how you present your posts. I really enjoy discussing and reading your posts, you are very knowledgeable.

    I like what you’re doing @William Walker — keep it up.

    My time on this forum has been limited lately with various other things (mostly being work) going on, but I try to drop by as I can.

    Seems like nothing on this forum better fits the ‘Classic Boxing’ theme than what you’re doing (although I do enjoy some fantasy matchups and other discussions here).

    I like the old videos....try to get the best ones out there.

    Otherwise keep it going.

    And Carnera DOES have a good chin.
