    There are a few guys that like to surf the site with multiple alias and play games .. half a dozen guys here tell me they see their posts on other guys websites and Facebook Pages .. guess some have lot's of free time in their little lives.

    :lol: I think I know who you're referring to. If so, I'm not too familiar with them, but it doesn't surprise me that a few people get sucked into these types of breakdown. I can think of another that might be wowed by the numbers. ;)

    The blog carries its message with the kind of arrogance that some people fall for as being authoritative. And, the presentation of the numbers helps with that appearance. But, it's a bit of a card-trick, with plenty of misdirection in the mix.

    Even if the content were referred to, as being pseudo-scientific, that would be giving it vastly too much credit.

    The point about taking and using content from other sites, seems valid. I mean, if one is going to tailor a hypothesis and the construct to disprove it, within the format of a single blog post, then the content is out there already.

    Their post is more or less ready-made. Add a few convenient numbers and this is easy output.

    Still can't believe Classics posters get angry at heavyweightblog. Its a cheap gag intended to fool new fans of boxing into thinking the Klits were gods.
