I have been thinking about a thread to write for quite some time now, and well, quite frankly, this is the only thing that really has come to mind. This site is something that we must cherish, and not take for granted. It has given us all a way to communicate with others, with friends, with acquantances, and last, but most important, with Boxing Fans. Regardless of who Im down with, who you might roll with, who your favorite fighter is, and vice versa, one thing we all must have in common is the simple fact that we are true fans of the sport. You may be different from me, we may have VERY different views and opinions, but lets realize that we are among a minority nowadays, true boxing fans. Over the years, maybe people have turned away from boxing, me personally speaking, I was turned onto boxing at a young age. I would watch the fights, every wednesday, watching the big fights of the years on HBO, TVKO, whenever there was one a Sat. night.
The biggest fights, when holding the HW title really meant something, when wars were waged and there was a FOTY candidate damn near every other weekend. WHEN IT STILL MEANT SOMETHING FOR THE BEST FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD TO FIGHT WHO.......EACH OTHER.....It would seemingly become played down over the years, we have more alphabet titlists then ever before. We have fighter claiming there on top of the world, yet some still stay away from the other dominant champion in the division. This was my times in boxing, when I realized how much this sport really meant to me. Watching fights over my Uncle's, being up till 12-1 in the morning to watch the biggest fights of the year everytime they were one. This was boxing for me.
We look at ehat we have here, a forum to speak to other people about how we would break down a fight, or what fighters will be victorious, or which fighters are among the ATG's out there right now. We all needa clean this place up. We are in the year 2008, and I cant go one day without reading a post on this forum where somebody states something, anything that doesnt involve a racist remark. This hating **** is getting sickening. Ok I get it, I dont agree with you, you dont agree with me, thats it, nuff said. Why get at each other, like we can really do somehting about it, of course Im going to defend my brand and you will yours, but why do it in a way that makes us look like little boys when in fact you may be 37 and I am 22?
Im guilty of it, arguing over something I dont believe in. I'll be the first to tell ya as well, but lets not get over the top anymore people. This is the greatest sport in the world, and everyone is going to have something negative to say about another poster on here, BUT, lets get over the petty stuff. The racist bull****, and the wise cracks towards each other that really aren't needed.
This is one of our only ways to be heard, and really lets be honest we have absolutely not idea who really could be reading. There are going to be some new people getting involved, lets show them how to be class acts on this forum. There are probably well over 100 different races on here, there is no minority on here. We...........THE BOXING FANS ARE THE MINORITY PEOPLE....
Lets make this a better place......I THINK BOXING DESERVES IT........THE FIGHTERS DESERVE IT..........BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY............WE DESERVE IT....
Thank for the read up, and apologizes to anybody I may have trashed along the way, we are always entitled to our opinions, and thats what makes us fans different, and noone should try and take that away from us!!
