    Nah its nothing ,they can take it where they want, if they get a few more that want me gone I'd go, no worries.
    At the moment I'm conceited enough to think I actually contribute something positive to the forum,some are gonna like you ,some maybe think you're crap,it's all good.

    how about ceaser dominguez (banderas) vs vince boudreau (woddy harrelson)? that was one hell of a match! two men really putting in their all for one last shot at the title?

    Hagler vs. Hearns.. I think the fight intensity and even though it was short, there never has been a fight like this. Not really.

    Hagler vs. hearns was the most intense explosive start to a fight I ever saw. Also Arguello vs. Pryor. Those guys in the 1980s didn't fool around.

    I make multiple quality threads a day almost without fail, almost always including content that is hard to find or has never previously been available on the net, and yet still this is the day in day out top thread on here... :lol: Futility.

    I like Humphrey Bogart too.
    The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca would be in my top 10 films of all-time. I actually love some of his roles in the pre-Falcon days where he played the proper villains. I've yet to have seen him in a bad film. Bogart brings quality. That was the true Golden Age.

    No one started a thread about films here though, mcvey. As you pointed out. Somebody made some references to films, that's all. You're the one who made a big issue of that, tbh.

    I feel your pain Russell!
    Still at least we have had a month without that idiot InMemoryOfJakeLamotta and his daily 5-6 random heavyweight nonsense, so we should be grateful for small mercies i guess.

    He was great in the classic The Roaring Twenties with an even better James Cagney
