Attention Boxing History Section!

[StarshipTrooper]

Come on guys. Every thread does NOT have to turn into a referendum on Lennox Lewis. It seems like even all the threads that have nothing to do with Lennox have him brought into them. Every thread does NOT need to turn into a Lennox argument.

That is all.....feel free to use the soapbox.

Some trolls have hijacked Tyson related threads in particular, with Lewis nuthuggery.

Well, this is a bit different from the trolls: They'll be taken care of if and when we get a mod. I'm thinking more about regulars from this section that do it. Not singling anyone out or naming names. There are more than a couple of respected poster in here that do it and I'm loath to single any one of them out out of respect. I'm just respectfully saying let's not hijack every thread with this stuff.

I know which poster you're referring to, wont mention his name either. Not sure how long this Tyson-Lewis rivalry has been going on, but It's popped up recently. Any idea?

It's not just one guy though. Certainly some are more stereotyped as "one-note Johnnys" then others but there are definately more than one poster involved.

check out my Topic i started yesterday titled `Mike Weaver`

mention Buster Douglas and the nuthuggers will claim Lewis woulda done that to him coz of his brilliant jab etc etc

Poet... i agree with you that its spoiling the History Section this turning every topic into a LL debate, yet it seems to be Trolls who do the starting wereas i do the finnishing..

it is difficult to sit-back and say nothing when nuthuggers are making ridiculous quotes like, "Lewis would be too Big for Muhammad Ali... Ali would not handle Lewis jab etc etc

IMO Boxrec.com is to blame for trolls as without it they would have nothing

all a seem to do is argue about lewis v holyfield these days or lewis tyson or wlad v the above or ali a just get dragged into **** a completeley took over the buster douglus shocked the world thread which went on about the lewis jab

[BattlingNelson]

Solution is not to answer these posts and instead comment on the original topic. Also when there is a ******ed thread just don't reply if you don't want to argue with someone who is not going to change his position anyway.

That was my soapbox.

That's why I wasn't singling you out: As I said more than one person engages in it and it would patently unfair to point the finger at you
