    Can't argue those picks at all, GREAT WORK! Maybe instead of Clay lol, just sub Patterson in though.

    Thank u . Although very few of them are beautiful . D 1 u chose 2 sport is 1 of them . I rarely visit d lounge as d vast majority of d material there is garbage and d same holds for d vast majority of d British posters in there .
    Pity the **** mods (classic forum here endures a great deal of overmoderation lately , I miss the way it was up until 2010 or so)
    Like this good thread that was moved and I had 2 visit 'The Morlocks' profile just 2 look 4 it after I couldn't find it here :
    (D biggest turd thread)
    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342378
    And then there was my top10 best& top 10 worst posters that was probably deleted ..
    I guess more than just 1 of d mods here regularly releases a humongous turd without even breaking a sweat :yep

    Do you really think McCline was a better HW at 30 than Lewis, Holyfield, Klitschko, Liston, Louis?
