    That's because you have absolutely no idea what he's doing, don't understand leg movement, why/when the punches come at a specific time and a lot more.

    Gatti vs Ward anyone?

    I know he lost to Liles (he also beat Liles) and he lost to McClellan 3-2 (same with Liles I believe) He was never blown out to my knowledge. Record was something like 110-13 as an amateur. Probably a bit off, but not by much.

    When is Roy going to avenge his brutal KO loss to Glen Johnson?

    Why? Is there no internet in the place where he's going? Is he going to work at sea or in outer space? Did his wifey ask him not to post in ESB anymore?

    Yes, he's a great poster. :good

    It is a sad day when good posters leave.

    KG is one of the very best, most inteligent posters that I have came into contact with. Take it easy.

    Hope you can become a sports writer, you would be damn good at it.

    :good

    I dont think so, because like Brooklyn this was a decision that came about over a long period of time. Its the off the cuff decisions that people turn back on. Still, I know that Brooklyn would come back if things were cleaned up a little, and Im sure that if this place turns around that kg may think the same.

    Nah, because everyone ages differently. You picked exceptions to the rule, not the rule itself. Most fighters really slow down at 34-35. Hopkins, like Moore before him, is an anomaly.

    Is that part of the reason Brooklyn left? :think Trolls, endless repetitive threads ect? I thought it was cause he got bored and felt he wanted to do other things in his spare time. I still talk to him regularly, I believe he's coming back in 09.

    At least thats what I think he told me.
