The myth of rigouous testing in British boxing

[New England]

No testing is air tight.

Our system is far superior to yours. In fact you have no system.

did you not read the parts of my post where i said this? far superior is a stretch, but i'll allow it because you're from the shire.
what did america ever do to you, anyway? you're like a spited woman sometimes. i was mostly agreeing with you



a ped testing system that goes three years without testing one of its top HW is completely inadequate. you seemed to have a lot of faith in it in the past, IIRC, and you seem reluctant to admit its inadequacy.

[New England]

cling onto it NE


i'm clinging so hard by trashing american PED testing!


and when i say that i'm between "pretty sure," and "certain," andre ward is on the gear, i'm definitely clinging! a fanboy, too!


i'm not like you, dirk. i'm really not. you get in this little gypsy fighting posture whenever the sanctity of your fighters are called into question.

David Price article is 3 years old. Keep clinging onto it though if you want. He was randomly urine tested in that period, just not blood.

They have increased the number of tests each year since

I just don't get how mostly Americans call the system "inadequate" when they have no system whatsoever and its a complete free for all.

It's like you telling someone you're a super athlete and then posting a topless picture of yourself with a fat hairy beer belly.

Oh wait....that actually happened.

dirk, i was a top athlete growing up. you can believe me or not. i don't care. you can come here and see for yourself, if you'd like. if i decide to transcend into new realms of pathetic, i'll come to you if you provide an address. we can ski, play soccer, arm wrestle, mud wrestle. whatever.

i've posted plenty of footage of myself skiing, [the only "sport" i still involve myself with,] and i can more from this year. i'm a very good skier, and i love to show off.

you don't seem very interested in watching me do something that a fat person cannot do [climb to the top fo the biggest mountain in the northeast and ski down it.] i've also posted pictures, and i'm clearly not fat.


i'd also like to draw a comparison between our discussion of my talent / conditioning, and your views on american attitudes toward testing [which i've bolded.]

don't you see similarities? i just don't get how somebody can call somebody else fat without posting his own picture. fat yanks doe!!


you are very cute and predictable, and i like you.

[New England]

dirk, what hgappened between you and america, anyway?


i'll tell you what happened between me and the brits. and no, it is not carl froch. i go back a heck of a lot further than that!


if you care to look at the history of HW boxing, you'll see that it is dominated by american champions. the decline of HW boxing in america can be correlated with the rise of football and basketball on major TV networks.


that correlation doesn't imply that the exodus of american talent from the division caused the migration of the division to europe. it does support it, however. no other nation can make claim to have ruled the HW division for several generations.



it's a pretty compelling argument, and one generally in agreement with most american sportswriters. it's obviously going to grind the gears of anybody who isn't american to face the reality that american talent made HW boxing the great sport that it used to be. it doesn't prove anything, to go through the history and trace the division's decline and the exodus of american talent, but it provides compelling evidence.

euros, offended by the reality that the HW division's history is almost exclusively american, began to characterize me as a "biased yank." i twisted the knife a bit by bringing up how poor the division has become now that it is largely european. a star was born.

[New England]

as for carl froch, i genuinely like him.

he is, however, one of, if not the most overrated fighters of the last 10 years. brits are deluded enough to call him the best fighter of his era at 168. you just can't discount the fact that he had the opportunity to face the two best fighters of the era, not named carl, at or around their primes, and lost to them. you can't. you can't be taken seriously after you've done that.

that's whyt i dont' take a lot of you limeys seriously any longer. you're just way, way too biased. act like you've been there.

[[HORUS] REBORN]

dirk, i was a top athlete growing up.

What sports did you play again?

[New England]

What sports did you play again?

played hockey. really liked it. wasn't a particularly great hockey player, but i was a very good skater.

i was a very good lacrosse player, and recruited to play division 1 and division 3. all american, e mass, blah blah blah. you guys don't care, but that doesn't concern me.



i'm still a very good skier. i'm starting to get into back country. i make videos, but again, nobody looks at them.
