New Monster Boxing History Quiz

not giving me Balboa huh??

 

It happened last year, one of the moderators knows it annoys you, and thus did it again.

It was in the wrong forum. Such correspondences should be put in the Suggestions and requests forum.

 

Thanks for your responses, But it happened in this forum, so it should be answered in this forum.

 

What? The thread asking why was deleted also?

:huh

This is crazy.

 

first off thank you for going to the time to post this quiz.

I have been following your quizes, and refuse to answer these questions untill you find the answer to 65-66....McGrain responded to your last one saying he would look into it....Hopefully we hear why soon! Good luck you are a fount of knowledge that is needed on this site!

 

YES, this is the 2nd year in a row someone deleted the Quiz and me asking why the Quiz was deleted. I 1st thought it was an honest mistake deleting the last years quiz, But when they deleted my asking asking why, I no longer thought it was a mistake. Now the same thing happened this year and all I am asking is WHY?

 

PhillyPhan69 I thank you so much for your comments, it means a lot to me!

Last year a few posters stated that they were going to get to the bottom of this, But nothing happened.

Just a side note, I am recognized as one of the most respected people in all of boxing and a lot of boxing people ask me why do I bother going on sites like this, and things like this, prove them right. I have been asked and done Eulogy's for some of the Great names in all of boxing when they pass away and I give them a "9" count. You can google my name to find out more.

 

Cheers, I can live with that :good
