    It is difficult to address generalities. I would suggest that they often fall with in the latter category. Jack Johnson and Jess Willard did pretty well.

    @reznick -- Is this the post you were going to use to show that I'd claimed that no boxers knew how to jab before Sonny Liston?

    they learnt to punch correclty at these times -

    1. when wlad K got demolished by yet another serial nobody.
    2. when vitali K gets "matched" on internet forums with someone elite/atg whose level he never beat in the real world.
    3. when the next chubby unfit k bro victim never does anything of note again in their career ever again.

    It's fascinating that he kept going on and on about how many likes he received and I think only 1 person liked any of his posts for 12 pages. Mcvey and Saintpat destroyed this guy but his head was so far up his own ass that he didn't realize it.

    This thread is a perfect example of why arguing with ignorant people is a waste of time. Rather than backing down, they will use goal post shifting, insults, straw man, anything to avoid taking an L. He was asked very simple direct questions and refused to answer. He was given very straightforward examples backed up by undeniable evidence and dug his heels in.

    Pure comedy.

    It's even more fascinating that only about 2 people actually addressed the topic at hand before the bickering continued. How was this not locked? :lol:

    One poster I thought was a 1st class ," see you next tuesday," and I am glad he is gone. A P Rick who took me to task for repeating a nick name for Bob Foster,"The Praying Mantis", stating it was derogatory and politically incorrect,and his own user name is Dago Wop.WANKER!

    Bumping older threads is baiting?

    Are you being sarcastic?

    I can't tell. Post us a picture of a pound of butter shaped into a fine bust (matron) so I can see the nuances and know for sure.

    Ignore him Mac.

    I refuse to have any interactions with him.
    More and more people are seeing him for what he is.
    Shameful.

    Maybe he had the stuffing beaten out of him by someone similar to Foreman or Williams, hence his dislike for them.
