    The only time I ever see you comment or post is to denigrate old fighters, in particular old heavyweights such as Marciano.

    In my time here, I've never seen you start a thread regarding lower weight fighters, or comment in one from others, for example.

    It's extremely tiresome and boring.

    I’ve started literally hundreds of threads on lower weight fighters over the years. I’ve personally made dozens of clips and streamables on such fighters. Even started a fight of the week thread on them. What contributions have you made?

    I find the fanboy hero worship of old-school heavyweights childish and annoying. It’s embarrassing and makes all of us look ridiculous. And I think it scares away more sensible, knowledgeable boxing fans who just happen to enjoy watching and discussing older fighters. So I push back whenever I’m in the mood.

    But if you find my posts tiresome, feel free to put me on ignore.

    Actually, I've been writing up a Jack Dempsey article from image to text throughout this week.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy ripping it to shreds.
