    :lol: Holy ****. Coming from you. You hate the Duran love and anti Leonard vibes. I really don't give a toss if any of my favs gets well and truely slated on here, unlike yourself.

    I was only trying to keep Teeto on the straight and narrow about what I was referring to? I said Ali was greater and explained why Mayweather was a more complete fighter. Yet he tries to tell me something I already knew when he responded.

    Anyway, end of all that. :good

    Only, when you're involved, a little slight becomes a three page thread. You weren't telling anyone anything they didn't already know when you said, "I think Mayweather is a more complete fighter". It's the principle. A guy like Mayweather who can't even clean out a half decent division comparing himself to the greatest Heavyweight that ever put on some gloves. He needs to shut his big mouth. Ali talked something similar in his day, but he was going out there and beating the best fighters available. It's different.

    ...Your favorites are Duran and Whitaker. :huh Not much chance of either of them getting unfairly treated around here.

    Sure, but coming from middleweight to defeat a heavyweight the caliber of Ruiz is an idea that's reflexively scoffed at in this day and age. Recently, there was yet another thread asking when we'd again see a heavyweight title claimant under 200 pounds, with many respondents autonomically repeating the tired refrain that we wouldn't see it again anytime soon. (RJJ, Toney and the Spinks brothers have scuttled that notion at regular intervals over the last 30 years, so it baffles me why people who should know better continue to ignore this fact of reality.)

    Christ. I take that as a compliment. I could be worse off and be like Rooster.

    You need to get over the Leonard **** man and the pro Duran stuff going around. It's life I'm afraid. Touche, touche, indeed :lol:

    Hopefully my rod and reel works.

    Nothing to do with Leonard, chief. We can have a wager if you like. What's the bet that if I created a thread entitled, 'name your top 5 favorite fighters of all time', over 90% of posters here have either Whitaker, Duran, or both in their lists? It's just the way it goes. Duran and Whitaker aren't ever going to be subjected to the type of crap other fighters are often subjected to on here. Sometimes justified, often times not.

    Yeah, that you were going to resopond to the bait. You sure ran into a brick wall with that that one. I even hinted at the end of my post that I was looking for you to respond and be touche, touche.......again. You're great entertainment. Gotta love yaa dude. :lol:
