The voting side is not just about whose opinion the judge sides with, as some questions will inevitable force one participant to argue a case they may personally disagree with - it'll also be on whose rebuttals were stronger, strength of the opening and closing statements, ability to field questions - several variables much like boxing itself.

Originally posted by joeandthebums View PostI'm the same and I would guess that everybody else is too. Specific weight classes and eras they are particularly knowledgeable on.
I've got questions ready which I think everybody will have the ability to debate and contribute to.

Thanks. Added.

But MAYBE Chisora beats Frazier and Lepai beats Ali? Well you asked for it...

Originally posted by joeandthebums View PostThis is a thread to gauge the level of interest if a Boxing History Debate Contest was run.
The contest would be in the form of a knockout tournament. Two members debate with one another a set question before a winner is voted for.
The manner of debating would allow each an opening statement before having the chance to ask up to three questions querying their opponent's statement which must be answered.
The thread would then be open for any board member to ask one question each of either participant.
After answering the questions both members then give their closing statements to end the debate.
Voting for the winner will be done publicly by those who express interest in being judges.
--
A quick example would be a set question;
"Who was more to blame for the never to transpire contest between Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis in 1992?"
One member will be selected to go first, giving them the option of which side to argue, Bowe or Lewis and lay out their argument. The other member then gives their opening opposing statement.
It would then continue as explained above.
--
Would need at least eight members to participant and at least three to judge to try this.
