    My bad man, didn't think you'd be this sensitive. It was just the one that jumps out in my mind.

    I doubt that any further good will come of this thread.

    We have two very entrenched sides, and no new evidence is being brought to bear!

    No wonder no one takes this classic forum seriously.

    I know right! It's outrageous that anyone would pick Bowe as a better fighter than Carnera! I tell you what.....if I were king of the world, I'd have everyone who says that Bowe is better than Carnera rounded up and stoned to death!! I know that sounds extreme, but we must squash heresy wherever we find it!!

    I'm of the opinion that neither you nor I particularly need luck anymore. It's a matter of time and dedication my friend.

    I love this thread like a dark and horrible joke. But nobody got hurt by this one.

    I was wondering when it was to arise again a thousand bulls shall be sacrificed in honour of Saint Primo this day.

    Whilst the subject of this thread (and its aim) leaned more towards the satirical, some of the sub-debates had about the period in general, were really quite interesting.

    Fury has better movement and defense than Bowe had. Wlad was also harder to hit.
