    On the contrary,

    Cross_Trainer is an exceptional poster with a vast knowledge on the history of the game. Additionally, he uses non-biased approaches by providing actual footage and literature to validate his arguments and points. With all due respect China, the only thing that I've seen from you since your arrival is just plain flat out statements like " the forties were weak " without any real substance to explain your position. You also steadfastly claim that the public has been brain washed into believing that the legendary fighters of the past were greater than they actually were. Could the same argument not be made regarding your beliefs that all modern fighters are inherantly superior? Perhaps if you provided footage, documents, articals and focussed on specific points to make your comparisons, then maybe you'd be a bit more convincing.

    This is how real debating is done.

    That's exactly what I believe. I beleive it is special. I believe it has much, much more to do with what is within a man than what he learns. If you can't see that I respectfully suggest that you have entirely misunderstood our sport.

    Rock solid argument.

    Be calm about that. You'll find out one way or the other within the next two years. The proof is in the proof after all.

    He'll get more trouble in here on that score. It'll just be (slightly) less personal.

    I'm trying, but this subject really sets me off. They're so bad to rank Taylor over Charley Burley even.

    Then you have TobKhan, who legitimises Sven Ottke's fraudulent career, what can you do?

    I don't even insult others.:twisted:

    I can actually see why you would wind people up. You're sure of yourself and i'm sure you're quite aware that this can come across as arrogance. I've found in general if you know your stuff and end up "owning" somebody, they will start to say things about your mother/sexual preferences/potency :lol: , even if you've never strayed from explaining why a left hook is a left hook.

    Never mind. You either post here or you don't I guess. I'm learning loads every day on here.

    I stopped posting on the GM quite some time ago. The constant threads devoted to Wladimir Klitschko became overwhelmingly tedious.

    I've never been owned in a boxing debate. Cross Trainer is considered the best analyst around, best historian, I debate him to stand stills and I'm a novice with classic boxing.

    The general forum needs to cool down. Taylor apologists are just unforgiveable.

    I'm still quite new of course; but the forum will never calm down.

    I think you misunderstood - I was saying that when you show up other people they can get very aggressive verbally.

    Yes and seek to personally attack. When do I ever do that?

    I'm just a Calzaghe nuthugger, a sociopathic hater and an arrogant ******* according to the current Taylor apologist logic.

    They are both pathetic 'champions', along with Ruiz. You seem to respect them, I have no problem with this personally, but it's odd and more of an insanity trip that what JC fans offer.

    JC fans are insane, we admit this.
