    I'm no regular nor expert, and like many here can be busy. But mostly its because I am a grown man.

    I don't have twitter or other social media, I think that type of stuff is childish. I come on here to talk boxing history, as so few places offer that opportunity. But when posts devolve into random internet poster throwing around nonsensical falsehoods, or as Dempsey alluded to "agendas jockeying for the last word", then it just reminds me of why I don't have social media- and it happens a lot.

    I figure just let them have their peace and feel like they made a point, but in the end do we really want to engage with grown men who lives and feels such a way? Its beneath us.

        To most of the newer forum members, historical fights involve early Mayweather and Pacquiao appearances.

        I used to be part of a group that talked boxing on Facebook about older fights and stuff, but as the years went by a lot of the members died due to age or disease.

          BS I post to try and keep things active I have 4 threads on this page and 1 on page 2.
          I don't need any imput from that clown Dr Z
          Q. How many threads have you got running at the moment? A. NONE!
          I dont believe you have made a thread since early May?
          So where is you contribution to the Forum?

          I mentioned no names when I made this thread but predictably you laid the blame for the lack of recent imput at my door
          You have been on my case since my very first post,that''s fine it's your prerogative to do so,but don't ever pretend it isn't totally personal with you.
          You only crawl out of the woodwork to have a go at me, just like that muppet Queensbury whom I now ignore.

          You seem more interested in posting about transvestites in the lounge and pursuing your ********** agenda there ,than discussing boxing here.
          You Dr Z and Queenie are the gold standard for pedantic ,agenda driven, rubbish, the three Jack Johnson haters.
          I've made 2673 posts and received 825 likes . so some here must think my content is okay?

                10 years ago we had about 50 or so.
                I'm not interesting in picking sides....But poster is correct half these threads are personal attacks with nothing to do with Boxing. It sucks the fun right out of stuff, if i wanted to her bickering I'd get a wife.

                  i think it may be true that the history section rehashes debates but that is due to new members joining and not being aware of previous posts and threads.
                  But if you look at the non stop boxing section then you'll see debate is alive and well with hundreds of witty posters and debates going on as fresh as the boxing press with new debates daily.
                  i am sorry if i trivialised the section a bit by winding up queenie but i was in a bit of a wind up mood and he was asking for it. I like him though as he is like a wind up merchant with great command of language and history but he loves to wind us up. i don't take it too seriously. Forum owners can employ troll like people to push up debates and stir users to post. Maybe queenie is the site owner and he wants to get people posting. It has been known on other forums!!

                      - - How about you vs an Armadillo?

                      Or maybe a flatworm.
