Apparently Joe slaps and Mayweather has dodged all to top 5 welterweighs.

When I ask that question what I am trying to say is that, There used to be alot of real boxing fans on this site talking about the skills of other boxers and how they stand In the world rankings, Who they would be best paired up with, And what fight we would like to see next , Also comments on fights that have just pasted. And Giving repect to fighters who go out there and fight on there shield and so on. I guess you do to some extent see these threads, But there is alot of "twats" well so called boxing fans trying to turn it into a them and us site..I know of another site where this bull**** talking was going on and it just ended in being "IMO" A site of little kids talking bollox..Yea the Mayweathers and Cazaghes do help make sites like this but the bull**** of nut hugging and so on, I just dont get!!! I guess the "said" thing to do is when a boxer is doing well and have given many years of good or even great fights is to put them down!! Its becoming a sad day..

Well I joined here in February and it was already Chaos. There are a lot of quality posters here but quite often they get overshadowed by spamming nut hugging twats who are looking for attention. I have learned how to bypass the trash though and avoid the children in here.

This is like the ninth thread that delivers the same message. People won't change on this forum, but I guarantee that many of them aren't the big pricks that they make themselves out to be. They only act this way because they can get away with it on here.

i agree, there is alot of spammers and nuthuggers who really arent boxing fans but fans of a particular fighter,

although there are some very good posters who are not biased, and you can rely on some people in particular for good boxing talk,

Nice try homey, but this thread won't change ****. Unbiased people will do their thing and huggers/haters will do theirs. You just gotta try to ignore that ****.

I'm sure a lot of you consider me a nuthugger, but I do love boxing. My way of dealing with the idiots is (most of the time) just to talk to them the way I would any decent poster and hope that it rubs off. Sometimes you do see a former moron morph into an informed poster, but sadly, more often than not they just vanish, only to be replaced with legions more.

If I could say one thing to everyone here, it would be remember that it isn't a competition between us, we're all supposed to be boxing fans, and this is a place for us to chat about it. Its much more fun talking calmly to someone who disagrees with you than it is calling them an idiot, and quite often you can learn something too. Another thing people don't seem to realise is that its OK to admit when you're wrong. I do it all the time.

I don't! You call it like you see it and you know your boxing!
