    You'd be much more in your element over in General. Plenty of mentally challenged filth loving peeps (among some good too) over there. You'll fit right in

    Weren't you the one giving Manassa **** for relying on others' opinions? You're going to take the judges' opinions seriously now that it suits you?

    No way Duran knocks out Chavez. The Mexican is just too damn tough. It would be a thrilling close war, but in the end, Roberto would outbox Julio.

    But who decides whether the record books matter or not? Isn't that just an opinion as well? It seems to me you're trying to give the record books some credibility there over and above mere opinions.

    Let me ask you, how much credibility do the record books have when they record decisions like Lewis-Holyfield I and Fenech-Nelson I as draws and declare that Escalera beat Everett? Are they worth the paper they are recorded on?

    Well if its all a matter of opinions, well it's everyone's opinion here that you shouldn't be taken seriously. Are you fine with that?

    Duran by comfortable UD at the very least. Roberto was vastly superior in every aspect. What's more, he was a champion because he had what it took. On the other hand, I feel Chavez' greatness was more the result of careful planning than actual earning. He was a tough, solid fighter, but I don't think he was as great as that 90-0 record at the time led so many to believe. Julio was a judge's favorite.

    ThunderPower, you wrote that post above yesterday after saying that "Duran was KOd in his prime" and comparing Floyd's right to Hearns' right.

    You then returned to the thread and continued with the same line of argument in favor of Chavez. What were you joking about?
