I am relatively new to this site and far from a boxing expert so i prefer to watch from a distance when the more knowledgeable debate a hot topic especially when i have no expertise in that particular subject.It can be very entertaining when 2 'experts' go at it but many good threads are ruined by juvenile antics from idiotic posters who are either just stirring up **** or who are just plain stupid.I do think however that there are many more knowledgeable posters on this forum than you give ESB credit for - :hi:
1. Best Overall Poster: Brooklyn1550 (Honorable Mention) Sean, Sues2nd, Drew101, Lampley 2. Most Improved Poster: Chimba (Honorable mention) Domngo 3. Best Knowledge of the Technical Aspects of Boxing Award: Orisha, China Hand Joe, Amsterdam. (Different views on it does not equal less understanding) 4. Biggest Nuthugger Award: Bigtime9 (Honorable Mention) PacDbest...but I think he WANTS to be known as a nuthugger, since really it just means he is supporting Pacquiao to the fullest. Unbeatable Floyd...if not for Bigtime, he would win. 5. Biggest Hater Award: Carlito....I know he is here somewhere 6. Best Boxing Historian Award: Drew101, but there are alot who don't post in General. 7. Best Comedian Award: 8. Best Predictions Award:China Hand Joe (really? Yah, still have not seen him get one wrong, and yes he predicts more than Calzaghe fights.) 9. Most Objective Poster Award: A number of them here, MSTR, Drew101, Brooklyn1550, ACB, Lampley I will add more as they come to me. 10. Best New Poster Award (Ideally joined withing the last several months, and with over 400 posts). Gonna go with McGrain, but ACB is clearly here as well. 11. Most Innovative Poster: Decebal, Lampley 12. Best Thread Starter: ACB, used to be Nigel_Benn and Kirk, but they don't seem to be as active as they were. 13. Most Missed Poster: Cross Trainer and by a mile 14. Classiest Poster Award: Brooklyn1550, Lampley
Yes, but there are often other facts relevant to the topic that you disregard or simply do not put much stock in. That becomes an opinion. Also, there are often more than one set of facts because of behind the scenes action. This is a subject for another time I'm afraid. I have no desire to hijack what I view as a nice thread.
1) best poster - brooklyn 3) best knowledge - amsterdam 4) nuthugger - unbeatable floyd 5) hater - perfume 6) historian - john garfield 7) comedian - chimba 8) predictions - amsterdam/huki 9) objective poster - brooklyn 10) best new poster - sweet pea 13) missed - cross trainer (funny guy too) 14) classiest poster - amsterdam/brooklyn/scar/there are many....
First, Orisha, get out of the thread. I repeat again to you, if you dont like it, dont participate. Your acting like a woman and its taking too much damm thread space, period. The thread is meant for fun, a chance to look back on the year, recognize good posters, give new posters coming next year a chance to know who we think the best posters are. This isn't meant to be taken so seriously, its not a presidential election, and nobody is obligated. I have never seen so much ridiculous wining on a thread, and Im forced to think that those who are spending their time complaining are doing so out of some other motivation. If you dont like a fight, dont watch it. If your not interested in a woman, dont chase her. If you dont like my thread, dont participate. ****. :twisted::twisted::twisted:
I appreciate seeing my moniker once or twice over the course of this thread, even though I deserve no small amount of scorn for the incessant spam and flame. The only thing I would take issue with is the fact that BSG/Mike W isn't nominated for at least half a dozen awards. Dude's a ****in legend in his own time.
/rant on/ I know I'm not ESB friendly but does that mean I can't get nominated for something? WTF? Is it because I'm not "the norm?" Because my avatar doesn't look as gay as Sthomas'?" Because I haven't "had sex with Jack Presscot?" Because I'm not "hygenic" or I don't "wipe properly?" No "charisma" or "self esteem?" Because I don't "own a PBF toothbrush?" Can't "reach all the parts of my body." and "sweat profusely?" What the ****en excuse? /rant off/
Best overall Poster: Kg0208, Sues2nd, Lampley and Brooklyn 1550. Most Innovative: Decebal. Most Improved: Boxing_Banker. Most Under Rated: Sean or WhataRock. Best Predictions: Amsterdam. Most Annoying Poster: Chimba. Most Objective: Brooklyn 1550. Sorry for all the people that I left out, particularly the Aussie forum guys. Some guys in that forum that don't post much, that have a heap of knowledge on the sport: WhataRock, Kegsy, Dekkers ect....
This thread is specific to the General Boxing Forum. How often do you post in this one as opposed to others? Myself, I think I am spread just thin enough to be barely noticed in both the GBF and the Lounge. :yep But I'm happy with posting where and when I feel like it, I'm not going to force my presence in one area or the other just to keep a high profile if I don't feel otherwise inspired to say something. :good
I changed my #3 acb,,,,you seem pretty knowledgeable! lol. I haven't really been on here long enough to comment on some of them, but you said you needed more votes so I went for it. :good
