Im sure that like myself several just don't post in threads where they're out of their depth and would rather read and learn than make baseless comments. Whenever the topic goes below featherweight I know Im out of my league but for certain fighters. NSB is a cesspool though, full of posters who are absolutely clueless. There are some great posters there, but they're a huge minority.
    That's exactly what I do.

    I try to watch 2 or so fights per day, I only started learning about boxing 2 years ago so I've still got a lot to go.

      To the regulars here who are good posters in this section and who just talks out their ass?
      Well I have to say for myself that I have seen Just about every single fight I could ever get my hands on, up to the 40's. Post 40's, I've seen ten times as many, for obvious reasons. When I talk about Darcy for instance, I've seen every last bit of footage, that I could find, and I've watched it over and over again. Same for fighters that are my all-time favorites, Carmen Basilio and Tony DeMarco are probably my next two favorite fighters of them all, and therefore watch them go at each other and others over and over............ So I'd say that yes, I do know the guys I talk about. Most of my friends on here are likewise fans of WATCHING boxing, but what sets them apart, is the fact that they also read and study fighters from many eras. On NSB for instance,... there are fewer readers of boxing.............. I could name the best posters, but there's at least 16 that I should name,.... so I won't name them,.. they know who they are,........... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS !!!!!

        Well the History section is generally the more aged and more wise boxing fans. I think Big Stereotype, Barnburner and myself are the only younguns here. Trolling and talking out of your hindquarters about things you dont know are really childish things to do isn't common place in the history section. When someone comes along to mess it up, like The Magic Man in what seems like ages ago, the whole section proves them wrong at every turn and drives them out.

        In conclusion: HISTORY SECTION SWAG

            Many of the morons have been eradicated from this section since a moderator was appointed, though some occasionally come in from the gutter next door. You should have seen the state of this section in the Slimey Limey era. Sonnyboy era was pretty crazy too.
