    I was a raving Pole hating racist up until the point where the the search engine got limited to post-2012 posts? Now that's one peculiar coincidence. I find it highly interesting that all you klittards who have accused me of that bull**** for years, haven't managed to provide evidence once. I'm still waiting but frankly, I'm gradually growing tired of all the excuses you guys bring up as to why you can't find **** on me that would prove your accusations.

    MacKKKenzie on the other hand suffered a fucking breakdown when he got exposed as a white supremacist by Shaunster in one of the best ESB threads ever and got perm'd. It was glorious. Regardless, you seem to side with such a douche, what gives?

    I just read a post you made about Archie Moore gaining and losing weight in the 50's. Good stuff.

    Used to like him

    in his earlier days, grew a little tired of him due to how boring his fights were and how blatantly biased his supporters on ESB were. I genuinely wish he retired after the Povetkin fight as that was, like, the worst and spoiliest fight I've ever seen. He has ridiculously many physical and technical advantages over his opponents and makes no use of them which is the most frustrating thing ever.

    Am I a fan? Yes, I like him and secretly, I cheer for him to win, but don't ever mention me in the same sentence as Klittards. I'm not that emotionally attached to any boxers honestly. I love the sport and I can deal with my preferred fighters losing.

    For what this poor era had to offer, his resume is rock solid. Chagaev, Ibragimov, Haye, Povetkin, Byrd and Chambers are good wins.

    Well the Adamek Train went off the train in 2011, naturally you cooled off since than, at least over here.

    I'm not even trying to find **** on you, I don't have to, I was there and I'm just talking from memory. All the negative Adamek posts and threads during his little run, it was annoying as hell. I said it then and I'll say it now, we all knew Vitali was going to bust him up but if Polish fans wanted to give him a chance and believe in him, let em. Speaking only about your posts here, you did come off as someone with a chip on their shoulder.

    He was less competitive than I thought against Vitali but him not fucking stopping McBride (who only went 12 years ONCE IN HIS CAREER - against Tomasz) was inacceptable. Just how poor can you get? His power from CW didn't carry over AT ALL. I've never seen a boxer go from hard hitting to pillow fisted by climbing a single weight class. Haye, Cunningham and Huck seemed to hit reasonably hard at HW which is why I was highly surprised by how useless Adamek turned out at 200+. He also robbed the **** out of Chambers and Cunningham.

    No such thing. Fighters I enjoy a lot (in no order):

    - Salido
    - Mayweather
    - Bradley (that Pac robbery still irks me however)
    - Haye
    - Fury
    - Chisora
    - Golovkin
    - Macklin
    - Martinez
    - Huck (don't like him that much but his fights are fun)
    - Ward
    - Froch
    - Dirrell
    - Hopkins
    - Stevenson
    - Wlad
    - Vitali
    - Lara
    - Alvarez
    - Kirkland (**** but fun)
    - Khan
    - Thurman
    - Broner (overhyped as fuck but his fights are fun. Maidana fight was awesome)
    - Rigo
    - Matthysse
    - M. Garcia
    - Groves


    Just off the top of my head. I'm also kinda into Sturm again after I thought he'd get swept by Barker. He proved me wrong big time and looked very solid. In case he faces GGG soon, consider me a fan again.

    I'd say other than Huck I really root for all these fighters to win most of the time. I'm having bit of a hard time with GGG's fans as their conduct is making him a little unappealing but his fights are really fun to watch so fuck them.

    Come on now, we've all seen your posts.

    You root against and disrespect/bash/ridicule/discredit every good East European boxer. You hate Slavic boxers, especially Polish boxers like Adamek.

    the shame of losing to guy who bxd at MW would be too much, so why risk it again?

    its rare that a HW lost to a once MW and not that often to a LH. Certainly its rare for 2 losses to someone not all that from lower weight classes. And absolutely never has SuperHW lost to such diminutive opps, it would mean the SHW was not good. It would be a serious weakening of his legacy.Vits did the right thing to maintain legacy.

    Wladimir took care of Byrd instead of Vitali because Vitali underwent surgery and needed alot of time to recover. There was no point in waiting so Wladimir easily did it.

    Byrd wanted to fight Wladimir as well. He was confident after the fluke with Vitali. It made him a bit ****y. Later on Byrd was without a title and Vitali went his road to a title shot.

    There's no "instead" about it. Either Vitali avenged his loss or he didn't. Wlad doesn'r play a role in it. Even if Vitali couldn't do an immediate rematch Byrd was still a viable opponent throughout 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 before Vitali retired in 2005.
