Fighter A vs Fighter B

Yeah you are right...but I enjoy discussing them and pulling the matchups apart.

 

correct. pointless .
and this supposedly high-brow and intellectual classic forum is pretty much full of nothing else .

 

Not pointless at all. The talk in these match-ups generally concerns 'best nights'. Most upsets involve the better fighter losing to the underdog. If Tyson fights Douglas for the vacant title in, say, 1988 does he win etc etc? Upsets often happen when the champ has millions in the bank and has been farting through silk sheets for the past few years.

 

Knowledge of boxing history that you or OneOurWay cannot compete with is another thing.

 

what ? on your high horse again are we conteh ? :-(

i come in this forum to learn about boxing, not to read some drawn out argument about who would win out of tszyu and a peak chavez. nobody knows. i prefer threads like the one the guy did about britains most influential boxers or ones that mcgrain does about past masters.

i fail to grasp what your on about. if you think boxing knowledge is picking a winner out of two fighters you barely know carry on pal . ****in hell.

 

On my high horse. What you on about? You've come in here commenting on the Classic Forum (which is easily the best thing about ESB):

:huh

So, if you're gonna say shite like this prepare to be pulled up on it.

 

i was referring to the threads that are full of post after post of Barkley KTFO 1 Eubank and **** like that , which the classic forum seems to have been inundated with recently, so i'll stick with what i said, cheers .

 

Fine. So why did you dismiss this forum as being about hypothetical match-ups and nothing else? This forum is choca-bloc with great stories and information.

 

Yeah, but they're tits from the General Forum. That can't be helped.

 

My point was i think those stories have recently been replaced with the **** A v B match-ups to a degree which is a shame. I don't make any claims to be a boxing expert,so your petty little insult about boxing knowledge surprises me but doesn't bother me in the slightest. thats why i enjoy coming in here to look through threads like the ones i mentioned, to learn . And i have just noticed that its gone a bit **** recently. That is all.

 

Ok fair enough, but you initial post in this thread hardly suggests this.

 

I really dont see whats wrong with them though...If you dont want to reply to them then dont.

Ive been the one guilty one "inundating" here with those matchups in like the last few days..I thing Ive made 6 in the last two days just to get a response which Ive had a few and learnt some things from it.

I often make ones using two obscure fighters most dont know about to get more information and opinions from people..You do that in general you get ******ed responses or none at all.

 

fair enough . i was mostly just saying that classic seems to have more and more of these . and maybe when i was thinking of the ones with silly comments like KTFO 1 !!!!!! with nowt to back it up i was thinking more of the ones in general .
no offence intended . i just love popping in here to increase my knowledge , maybe i should give those threads a bit more of a read.
