    He already is, he gives so much and on some ****ing obscure topics.

    You don't but most just cuss his Ali threads. Understandable as Ali is known to everyone and a popular face of boxing, but I never see them giving their two cents in his Muangsurin, Barro, De Jesus etc etc etc threads.

    I'm not one for critisizing the ideas of others, as long as their educated. Probably why I've never taken a real shot at you.

    Feel free to. If there's anything you really disagree with then it's worth saying whoever's saying it :good As long as it's mutual, no hard feelings Sir.

    Also it's 'they're' educated, not their.

    I actually love Lopez. Complete warrior, great puncher, exciting fighter. He fought Sal here the first time. I was pleased to see him get IBHOF induction.

    Lopez is a fabulous fighter.Doesn't get the credit he deserves in the UK.
    Asked a guy what he thought in the gym and he said;"don't you mean Ricardo Lopez?":patsch

    Did you get the PM?

    robinson will always be known as the best at 147 but i think you can make a real case for leonard with wins over hearns, duran, and benitez.

    What's also sad is that I'd have normally been over the moon to talk about Finita,cos it doesn't happen much.:-(

    Stupid **** probably thinks Ricardo is a light welter from the early noughties!:twisted::-(
