BoxingForum24 (often referred to as BF24 or historically linked with the old East Side Boxing community) is one of the longest-running, most active online discussion boards dedicated entirely to professional boxing.

It is particularly known across the combat sports community for a few distinct things:

• Deep Historical Debates: Beyond current fights, it has a heavy concentration of boxing historians and hardcore purists who regularly debate mythical matchups (e.g., prime Hagler vs. Monzon), classic eras, and all-time pound-for-pound lists.
  
  
• Fight Night & Scoring Threads: Live round-by-round scoring threads during major (and obscure regional) cards where fans compare scorecards in real time.
  
  
• Passionate Fan Rivalries: Like many long-running sports forums, it’s famous for intense tribalism, heated arguments over superstar fighters, and unvarnished fan opinions.
  
  
  While I can't track specific user drama or account histories, I am well aware of the broader dynamics, subculture, and notable figures that have defined BF24 and its predecessor, East Side Boxing (ESB):
  
  • The "Classic" Section Heavyweights: The Classic Boxing Forum subforum is famous for a core group of posters who are practically walking encyclopedias—folks who can pull up fight reports from 1920s newspaper archives or debate Harry Greb's actual record with intense detail.
    
    
  • The Infamous Stan Wars: Anyone who has spent five minutes in the general forum knows about the notorious, multi-decade poster wars—from the old-school ***** (Floyd Mayweather fans) vs. ******* (Manny Pacquiao fans) flame wars of the 2010s to the intense debates surrounding Klitschko, Canelo, Lomachenko, or Fury fans today.
    
    
  • The Migration: I'm also familiar with the site's history—how the migration from the original EastSideBoxing domain to BoxingForum24 shifted the community, leading some long-time regulars to drift off to places like Check Hook Boxing, BoxRec, or Reddit's r/boxing, while a core base stayed behind to keep BF24 running.
    
    
    

 

I asked if it knew what this league was and it said..

------------------------

Kirk's Championships (the Kirk's Championship Boxing Prediction League) is the famous, long-running annual prediction competition on BoxingForum24 that dates all the way back to the early East Side Boxing era.

It was originally created by the poster Kirk. Over the decades, it became a core institution on the forum—where posters make round-by-round picks for fight cards worldwide, earn points based on method of victory and upset odds, and compete for seasonal titles.

CST80 became one of the main stewards and long-time administrators of the league, running the threads, keeping score, and maintaining the rankings for years.

So while I might not track individual user posts in real time, Kirk's League is such a central part of BF24's culture that its structure and key figures are hard to miss when looking at the history of that board!

 

"Do you know anyone whose won the league? Any prominent names?"

---------------
Because the league spans decades and tracks multiple sub-awards (like KO King, ROY, and Daredevil), a small handful of legendary participants stand out in the official standings:

• pincai: Widely considered the "oracle" of the prediction league. Pincai has taken the overall yearly championship multi-times (including securing the 2025 League Title and KO King), making them one of the most decorated pickers in the league's history.
  
• Chuck Norris: A perennial contender who locked down the #1 Challenger spot in the 2025 season standings and frequently helps coordinate/track the scoring alongside the admins.
  
• CST80: Beyond stewarding and running the heavy administrative lifting of the league for years, CST80 has consistently competed at the top level, taking home awards like the "Daredevil" title for taking big upset picks.
  
• nellybc: Another longtime mainstay of the thread who has consistently finished near the top of the leaderboards and helped keep the scoring system moving smoothly over the years.
  
• Shootlow: Took home the Rookie of the Year (ROY) honors in the 2025 title race after breaking out in the season's fight pickings.
  

Given how notoriously difficult it is to out-pick hundreds of hardcore boxing purists over an entire 12-month calendar, anyone who takes the yearly crown on that board earns major bragging rights!
