    do you not think you are taking this a bit far? this doesn't look good on you.

    use edit button now, I would, before people realise that JAB would NOT be asking what mod you spoke to, because he'd already know.

    And then maybe you can continue to fill me in on the story once you've got round your odd theory. I'd still like to know.

    you've corrected yourself in not calling me JAB now, but at the cost of aggression. That's a shame, I wanted to know some details but if you want to opt out of disclosing details, you need to edit all the other details you wrote too. No problem.

    POET says he's in his mid-40s but he comes across in the forums as a silly ten year old with his childish and repetitive insults.

    He seems to be a lonely and very unhappy person. He probably hates the Klitschkos because they're everything he's not: physically fit, rich, intelligent, and popular with women.

    My sources say you were banned yet again for being a racist. Its funny you claim it was for harassment. That wouldnt surprise me either considering the number of posters you flame and insult every time you're reduced to tears in a debate. :hey

    Going by the numbers, all of them. Going by excitement, most of them. Going by skills many of them.

    Lennox Lewis' avenging fights aren't that impressive once you consider that one of those matches was vs a man having a nervous breakdown, McCall and the other was vs Hasim Rahman who arguably had the worst corner advice of all time, "hold both your arms straight out Rock and he can't hit you." Most boxers even at subnovice level know better than to do that.

    I'm not banned from the scene. Both myself and JAB were given temporary bans some time back, but both our bans have now expired and we're both posting there again.

    Its not people opinions the numbers are going by but a unified statistic using the rings annual rankings. The system is the same for all fighters. I dont put much stock in undeafeated records. For instance, a fighter like Jerry Quarry raises the value of an era far more than fighters like Puaneta oe Wach by virtue of fighting so many other top fighters wherecas those guys records were built on stiffs. Its easy to think a fighter is better looking at an undeafeated fighter if you dont pay attention to who they actually fought. I use Lamar Clark as an example of this often. The guy was undeafeated with almost all ko's when he metAli. In hindsight its easy to see his record was manufactured. The only way an era gets any depth is through the quality of opposisition the fighters fought. This has nothing to do with where a fighter is from, its just common sense. You can choose to judge an era any way you'd like, but in my opinion this system makes the most sense even if its not perfect. Than again there is no perfect way to judge this kind of thing. You have your opinion, i have mine. I feel i can best defend my reasons using this system..

    considering how top sportsmen's wages are spiraling out of control, I wouldn't be surprised if the shift in the HW division away from the US continues

    pro football offers many opportunities, for example, while boxing only 'feeds the few'
    the higher the weight, the more I think the emphasis can be taken away from the US in the future

    Wlad's record against fighters who achieved a top 10 Ring rating is now 21-2 (16), 22-2 (17) if Mormeck's cruiserweight rating is taken into account.

    I never said they were better i said the eras were better. But if you'd like to debate skills of past and present I'd be happy to educate you some more.

    Come on bro, who has Pianeta beaten that makes him credible? Quarry beat a who's who of top contenders in his day and ducked by Foerman by his own admission. I do agree Vits would beat Quarry, but this osnt about fantasy h2h fights though, its about eras and the best fighting the best. Incidentally though i rank Vits in the top 10 h2h at heavyweight.
