    Uh ... What? Trav? No, that's me. All you pansy ****ers play humble. Every one of you. If you ask Ivich, Z, Trav, Ghost, yourself, Willow, billeau, or anyone else here not going be Marchegiano or QueensburyRules if you are an expert you will say no. Just a fan. Maybe a researched fan, maybe you claim knowledgeable, but one thing is for damn sure, you and most everyone else in history section shun the titles expert and historian when asked point blank.

    However! Little insight into my tongue-in-cheek bull****, if you asked me I'd damn well tell you I am the best single source of information for the full scope of boxing history your ass is going to find online. Queen damn well might too. We're both a little bit … ****s … we're ****s being twelve, but their is some truth in our shared immaturity youse have always seemed to lack and this statement here is the perfect opportunity to explain:

    This-
    Not these self proclaimed forum experts who think they decide who is and isn't worthy, with their 'insightful analysis.'

    Followed by this-
    Ticket sales makes that decision. That's prize fighting.


    ... ... ... ... ... ... WTF Pep?


    Let me rephrase this example to one so on the nose there is no way you miss my point-
    I am no expert, I refuse any grandstanding, BUT, you and your opinion are wrong, tainted by bias, and I and those who share my perspective are the real knowers of a truth you only pretend to understand and play like you research



    Yeah ... case in point. Ain't no expert when asked and will demonize any who make the claim without a publisher or legion of fans to thump their third party research, but, don't disagree with a mother ****er because they damn sure going to argue like they are in fact an expert who knows all things including the answer to a question asked openly.



    self proclaimed forum experts who think they decide who is and isn't worthy, with their 'insightful analysis.' - Agreed! You and all! Queen and I are the ONLY self proclaimed experts and Queen only proclaims sometimes. I am the only member who will not miss a beat and will grab that title every time asked. This criticism fits me alone, unless, you look a little closer then it fits every one of you play humble but ain't actually humble ****s.


    Clean yer ****ing house.
    All that punk wants to do is discredit other's posts. If you stop and read what he wrote you will see it was nothing more than an attempt to brush off my question as unnecessary, thus throwing a wet blanket on the conversation. He doesn't like others to be joyful

    You sir, are doing nothing but helping to make the board even more contentious. I think you get off on the same perversion.

    Please do not address me with this kind of nonsense post again.

    I put him on ignore so i could enjoy coming on this board but it seems that is immpossible; people like you and him must drive away posters on a regular basis.

    So let me be direct please take your hate list and shove it up your ass.

    Sincerely yours,

      Yea, Dempsey was eating counter right hands all night long. E.g. Leonard-Hearns I.

      I wonder if the Harry Greb situation put a chill on him?

        I believe Dempsey's interest in boxing was waning well before the first Tunney fight. He came off a three year layoff and was never the same. He was making so much money doing exhibitions, movies, theater, personal appearances, etc., that required zero risk. The good life caught up to him and it's hard for a fighter to remain hungry once he became the wealthiest athlete in the world. I have to go back and check his bio to see exactly what he said about his decision to retire.

          If you ever had any love or respect or appreciation of any kind for me I would ask you to tap it and read this in full. Bare minimum even if you hate me now give me the human decency because I asked for it.


          Youse had more than a year without me and guess what? Same old **** ain't it?


          Tony, the difference between me and you is honesty. You're lying to yourself bud. You think not bringing it to the forefront is ever going to change things here? Really? Do you? Honestly? Y'all had a long time prior to me, I stayed away from this moniker and character for a long time too. TF changes when I do not post? Nothing. I know. I was here, being quiet, taking on other characters, but mostly learning.


          You're right, I do come as an even more cantankerous Marchegiano, but aren't you a little curious as to why I am Marchegiano at all?

          Marchegiano is your most familiar name and a name you are used to seeing cause trouble and be anything but humble. This man, Adam is my name, felt it necessary to risk a new ban even though I was hanging with my bros just fine, quietly, because on a philosophical level I disagree with how you guys manage the teams that have formed naturally here.


          You say sweep it under the rug. Maybe you're right. It felt right when you first asked me to not poke the bear and make games of the bull****, but what doesn't feel right to me is when a guy like Ivich makes a thread about a poster like Z to have out their frustration, and more importantly give the debaters a venue to hold their personal debates outside of our historical conversations, only for Nelly to can it. Assuring absolutely no common ground even be attempt to be found, ever. Ensuring every single time the name Dempsey or Johnson gets dropped we all already know the sides and opinions but go through the same cornball bull anyway, out of pride.


          I says have it out. I says let's just be honest about this ****. Would it shock you to know Ghost and I argued loads? Nope. Would it shock you to know I love GhostofDempsey and if anything bad happened to that man it would hurt my heart? Nope. We all know the ****ing score brother. We are united in our fandom and without our annoying brothers to annoy us we'd have no one to talk to. Every once in a while maybe the section needs reminded; love though, it's here. I'll remind you ****ers and I'll do it in that Marchegiano fashion. Because I felt it necessary and, you know, I am going to do it because I feel it in my heart it is the right path.

          Don't hate me bro, I love you.






          That covered allow me to simplify. Either your criticism belongs to you and trav both, or, neither. I went out of my way for that criticism. I've watched, weird as that is, and I am telling you, nah, you and trav just disagree and you're getting frustrated with that. The blowhard round these parts goes by Marchegiano ... and sometime Queeny too.

            Going off task on my own thread but I wonder if Greb's death (being boxing related) affected the prevailing temperament towards fighters' well being.

            I suspect there wasn't and out cry like there was after Benny Paret, Davey Moore, or Kim Duck-koo.

            Past generations accepted risk (and possible death) differently than we do today. I feel as though World War II redefined our feelings towards death, particularly unecessary ones. ​

              We all have our disputes and complaints. To me this is a place where every man thinks he is more on point than the others, or funnier. There is a hell of a lot of pedantry on here including myself, and, yes, cliques form, but I do not think I am in one. I am my own clique, and I am here to relax from what I consider more important grueling efforts, and learn a bit in the process. It is strange that people can be so uppity over a little thing like boxing history knowledge, which is not exactly nuclear physics.

              ..................∞
              1​= 2​2(∑) (4k)! (1103+ 26390k)
              π...9801. k=0 ......(4k!)4 (396)4k

              This is what actual smart people spend their time coming up with. Of course it is not mine. Ramanujan's formula for pi.
              The dots were necessary to make things line up right.

              Come to think of it, I have never seen a boxing question on an IQ test. The above formula is just so we remember we are merely a bunch of damned dummies spatting on a boxing forum, dammit.

                  So the first fight Tunney won easily and the second I've seen it printed that Dempsey won ONE round.

                  I'm pretty convinced that Tunney rises from that knockdown at a count of 9 no matter when the ref begins counting. Then the fight goes the same exact way.



                  Ps. I was never quoted here so I doubt you have me on ignore, Willie You're just a weasel.
