    Unfortunately having respect and being nice towards other posters are no longer welcomed nowadays here. There's too many toxic fanboys and immature posters that like to do nothing but be disrespectful to fellow posters.

    Thread topics like this leads you to notice a few patterns.

    One being that a lot of Hall of Famers should've retired after a specific noteworthy loss, but many came back, sometimes years and years later, to extend their careers needlessly and often finish off with losses to really bad fighters.

    Mike Tyson probably should have Michael Spinks and Larry Holmes. (And maybe Frank Bruno, if he gets added someday.) But nobody thought we'd ever see Holmes in the ring again after Tyson stopped him. I don't know if the second career for Holmes was necessary, especially since it ended in a loss to Butterbean. That was a lot of extra damage.

    Palomino's last fight should've been against Duran. But Carlos came back nearly 20 years after that.

    It's too bad, really. Lots of average to mediocre guys feasting on older greats.

    Really, that's shame, so going forward if a poster or posters are disrespectful and rude, lets not encourage them, don't be dragged down to their level, ignore their post/replies if they are not courteous, if the posters that care about the forum adopt this attitude, they will be excluded from the main, they just might get the message, if not let them bicker and swear amongst themselves, leave them to it.
    stay safe Flo.
