    There isn't one. It' all depends upon what you're interested in and how much abuse you're prepared to ignore.

    Rather a bold statement for a Tuesday isn’t it? One I might say that is entirely absent of any proof whatsoever.

    Am I wrong to suggest Lewis should be favoured here? Or am I wrong in supporting the point that perry made that Rocky did hit like a hammer?

    specific to this thread, I would like you to explain what is so wrong that I have said here today on this thread?

    Oh but there is, he's the master of illogic and king of the Quorans. He has a chin of iron and once went the distance with jawbreaker knife man whilst suffering a knife wound and a broken jaw.

    They call him Ant. Mark Ant.

    I feel i've proven it plenty over the years.

    You're dumb enough to feel a 50% jab connect is low, or troll enough to pretend you are.

    You're dumb enough to feel 1.3 foot reach advantage is really a disadvantage, or troll enough to pretend you are.

    There are countless, literally hundreds of examples down the years that mark you out as easily one of the worst posters on the forum.

    And no, i'm not going to "explain" what you have said "here and today on this thread." You didn't ask me about "here and today on this thread." You asked me if my opinion of you had risen. I told you that my opinion of you could hardly be lower. You clearly didn't expect that answer and now want to whine. Probably shouldn't have asked.

    I can't ban Mark. I just can't do it. I imagine him wandering about downtown, approaching homeless men under bridges and trying to make them watch YouTube videos of technical breakdowns of fighters they've never seen. Get him killed. Can't have that on my conscious.

    As I recall Both of these examples were your bad interpretations of my points rather than anything I said specifically, which I corrected and explained at the time.

    I have no recollection of ever saying “1.3 feet reach advantage is really a disadvantage”. That’s just something you say in disagreement. Just as the other one is not something I directly said..


    You certainly convinced yourself without checking with me.

    I didn’t ask you to. I said what was I wrong about today after you said I am “consistently wrong”. And you won’t because you can’t say I was wrong about anything. You just disagree. And that’s fine. I have done nothing and said nothing today that deserved anything like what you said of me today on this thread. I am not unwell, but thanks for that.

    And I am entitled to answer such a slur as fairly and reasonably as I did. Pity the favour was not returned.

    Your recall is literally the worst of any human being I have ever encountered. I genuinely believed for several years that you were suffering from dementia of some form.

    You are confusing "consistently wrong" and "always wrong."

    It's natural that you should want to debate my opinion that you are one of the worst posters ever to have posted here.

    By definition, it is not natural that I would want to debate with such a person at all.

    Despite the fact that Marciano would get wasted by about any post-Patterson champ of note, not outslicked or outpointed, but w a s t e d, made to appear as tho he were in the wrong sport (or at least wrong division)... despite this, we have people picking against what is arguably the hardest head to head match-up in the division's history.

    I've had more logical conversations with FlatEarthers.

    I don’t want to debate it. It is your opinion. I can refute it Because it was uncalled for. I had not done or said anything wrong toward you today to deserve that kind of slur. I am not clearly unwell. Your attack is based on nothing I said today. Or on anything you can prove. You picked on me because I quoted one of Perry’s old posts. What’s wrong with that?

    This is fantasy, and typical of you.

    I didn't "pick on you because you quoted" one of Perry's posts. I told you that Perry's posts were awful and if you're telling him one of them is great you've probably taken a wrong turn. Three posts later you've twisted that into my "picking on you."

    What happened was, I made a cordial post about Perry being weak, you asked me your opinion of you, I told you, you're having a tantrum.

    And that's all really.

    No tantrum on my part. And I am not twisting anything. You did say I was clearly unwell and that you think lowly of me. I can refute it because there is no call for that kind of thing.
