Chris Eubank vs Bernard Hopkins??

[garryd]

Super Middleweight = Bogus Division

Thats a broad statement ,considering the Bogus Divisions !

yes mate i am ...i just think Eubank on his day was good enough/awkward enough to beat Hopkins ....another thing in their primes Eubanks was much bigger !

agreed .......

Any division tagged with "Junior" or "Super" is bogus in my book

Whats the point though, boxing has changed. Maybe not for the better but you gotta adapt or you won't be able to enjoy the sport any longer.

I'm not obligated in any way to change to suit others. The whole world can change for all I care: I will remain me and stay true to myself.

I ignore the aspects of the sport I dislike and focus on those I do. Or in the case weight classes mentally bump fighters up to the next legitimate weight class.

Now in a situation where practically every aspect of a sport changes into something I dislike I simply stop watching the sport. I used to watch the NBA back in the 1980s. When it turned into a wrestling match in the paint and a never ending series of 85-80 games in the 1990s I stopped watching it. It's kind of like having a favorite soda and then the company changes the formula on you to a flavor you dislike: Under those circumstances I'm not going to keep drinking that soda hoping I'll eventually tune out the fact I don't like the taste.

I think they call that living in the dark ages

Like I said, the only person in this world I'm obligated to please is myself: No one else has any claim on me. I take what I like from yesterday and today and I reject the rest. I'm not going to like something because "everyone else does". Let me ask you something: If it suddenly became popular to eat dog **** would you line up at the buffet?

wow .....how do you sleep at night ??

Very well thank you! You'd be surprised how well you can sleep when you're secure in who you are and aren't worried about going along with the crowd. My likes and dislikes aren't determined by other people: I decide what I like and dislike, no one else. If others don't like that then that's THEIR problem not mine. I'll never jettison my individuality to run with the crowd from fad to fad. Losers conform, people who are their own person transform.

You sound like a nonce case to me

You sound like a nonce case to me

You sound like a shallow conformist to me (or a kid: The same thing come to think of it). Let me know when you grow a set and stop being worried about how popular you are.
