Guys... he isn't trolling; he really is 97. His granddaughter @Shay Sonya posts here and is 47yo herself.
That is crazy and extremely based. I have never seen anybody over 70 active on internet forums. I normally imagine people over 80 as very out of it or deteriorated mentally, it's cool to see somebody so old in such good mental shape.
and what proof doe he have?because his claim is stupid although i understand because of his <age> lol sorry just don't buy it,he said 97 and he follow for 90+ just that alone don't make sense like at all.
Someone following boxing since they were a little kid doesn't make sense? And why is there any onus on him to provide "proof"? Him being a nonagenarian isn't some wild crazy claim that merits suspicion (and what would someone stand to gain by faking being a certain age on an internet forum for twelve years, anyway? That is what makes no sense). People live past 100, it is fairly normal.
lol don't make me laugh! then why oh why if he's legit he don't show his age in his profile first to be atleast more beleivable and everyone can see(exept you) when a children is writing common!
But i will galdly make my apologies to him and his family for doubting his age and mocking him too if i can get a proof by the mod of this site or someone else.
Djanders has been posting here for a decade and some of us know him quite well. But he doesn't have to prove anything to you. How old he says is has absolutely nothing to do with you and nobody will prove or has to prove anything to you, or any other guy who has been posting here six months and doesn't like something one of the core-members says about themself.
I will add,because i can defend myself and i find you a little bit aggressive( and i don't even know if you have read it all).
What exactly do you gain by him providing proof? And what does he gain by lying? Loads of nonsense, crack on and talk boxing
and i will add too,that im offended by so little reaserch that you about have about me...in others post that i have post,ive said that i been on the forum like 10 years...like him it's just that i don't want to suscribe anyway can't prove it...ok so if you want to lost me and keep him no problem...it does absolutety nothing ie won't be affected like at all,can do better things anyway...and it was only questionning him...because following boxing 90+ years and he have 97 common!
Is basic arithmetic beyond you? If someone is 97 years old and has followed the sport for 91 or 92 years, it means they became a boxing fan when they were 5 or 6, probably watching alongside their dad as is the case for many of us. Your position that him being 97 and yet also being fan of the sport for ninety-plus years somehow doesn't add up ..is bunkum. It adds up (or rather, subtracts) just fine. 97-91=6. See? Pretty easy.
so if i understand you and McGrain is that we can't question someone over his age?or his claim? even if it make no sense...please tell me.
