Brother, the only benefit for me would be the currency. It would be quicker for me if he was fighting in Philly again. Our country is ****ing big lol I live a lot further than I did when I drove to see Pascal/Hopkins
I'd take a train but...y'know

The NSB mods are modding and chilling with us here right now. I appreciate them. They don't interfere or show their power. That's how you do it.
We need them to interject sometimes, tho, if one of us is getting out of hand, as it happens. Then they don't need to deal with complaints or bans later. Do it on the spot and move on.
Trolls should be kicked out.Comment

People are way too sensitive it’s ridiculous.I think the ones who come on somewhere like reddit just do it for free/fun/exposure...I think a lot of people in the business would enjoy mixing it up with some real 'hardcore' fans who maybe can help their image a bit...and maybe help them make some new dedicated hardcore fans.
Like how cool would it be to have Fury or Wilder come on here and mix it up with them a bit...or have them bust the balls of someone on here or vice versa...it would be great, we would laugh about that for ages.
I kind of agree...but there are some really bad trolls on here...I mix it up with everyone, even the one or so people I have blocked lol...but some people on here refuse to keep it real on anything really and are just looking for a fight.
I don't want people to have to deal with that if they don't want to.
Dude that is awesome!! Yes I want more stories like this on this site lol.
And we need to know details bro of what you said...
That would be interesting...feel like the threshold should be pretty high though...that way if you get banned, it is basically universally agreed from every demo on here that you are bad and need to go.
Very coolComment

Hey we need more details than that dude!! lolGood story
Headed down to AC for May vs Gatti
Long story short , after the fight , spent the whole night with Mickey Ward partying
The daughter of the original owner of the Blue Horizon ( many greats performed there , was located in Philly ) gorgeous blonde who was hired to double for Gatti for boxing shorts
And following us around ( had a big crush on blondie ) was Chuck Zito
Great fughin night
I thought I was in a candy store
I’ll leave the rest to your imagination lol
Very cool man...glad to have you...you seem like an intellectually honest guy from what I can tell so far so I am glad you have joined the forum and hopefully you can help lead the way for some of the rest of us.
Yeah the guys who get signed up by their manager or promoter to do something like that could maybe look bad.Boxers are some real weird cats
The ones you think are cool usually turn out to be ******s
The ones you least expect aren’t
Just funny how that happens
Recall Omar Sheika , he was one of the nicest boxers I ever met , just super but had that look like his chit don’t stink
Scott Pemberton aka the sandman , another sweetheart but people wouldn’t even attempt to speak to him
But I think some guys could really come across well and it could be a win-win for everyone involved.
Would help to humble some of us on here too...like if we tried to tell a good pro boxer something and they put us in our place
lol
Lol at the Monzon comment dude...yeah I agree...I don't really think any group on here is free from it's spammers/shillers...it's every group that has them really...the ones who keep it kind of friendly I don't really mind...but most of them end up getting nasty too.Good points!
But i brought it up cuz its guys they i think everyone could agree should be banned. Or guys who should get warned from spamming Younbdness and his LDBC obsession or Monzon and his X-Files conspiracy BS.
And about the racisim.... The word gets throwed around too much and mistaken for prejudice.
And i can tell....i argued with plenty of guys when it comes to race but end up cool when we change topics. The racist guys never let it go and it always spills over in debates.
Thats why i hate certain threads cuz it brings out the closet racists....
One on my last red Ks is from a guy who called me a ****** just cuz i made a comment asking why continue talking about the LDBC...
This what he said....
Absolutely. Either you're a ****ing ****** or a ****** lover.
Its shills on both sides.... If i continually diss the LDBC but then get called one just for saying leave them on YouTube and quit talking about them, what does that make you? Some guys take too much delight in dissing them and their racial prejudice spills over.....
And I haven't really experienced that type of stuff that you mentioned and I am sorry you did...sh.it does get too heated on here sometimes unfortunately and when you are trying to hurt someone's feelings, going racial is a good go-to sadly.
I was 'defending' Wilder the other day since I thought people were going overboard on him...and I had people in there making those type of veiled comments at me though...so I can somewhat relate to you on that.
I think as BoxingIsGreat said...the guys who continually show that they can't debate without taking it to a very personal level should have some restrictions put on them.
Not really to punish them but just to try and teach them and hopefully move the convos on here to a more friendly level.
I feel like depending on the definitions there...over half the forum would be gone lolComment

I hear you
Funny you mention trains , that’s my domain
I build track , maintain and fix track
But I know the country is huge
My bro is out west and to fly over it’s almost the same distance as flying to Europe
Anyway was gonna try pulling a few strings , couple of my friends are involved all over with that showComment

- -U could retire.Was just thinking about ways to improve the forum
One I thought of was trying to get some fighters - past or present, or other figures (judges/refs/promoters...ring girls
here on the forum periodically for some Q and As.
I would think the mods and site owners would like it as well as it would drive traffic and maybe bring some new eyes in to stay.
I think it would also help lead to better boxing discussions on here...as people around the sport have some good insights usually, and can critique their peers better and more accurately generally than the average poster on here...maybe that could rub off on some here.
Maybe a once a week Q and A?
Any other ideas?Comment

That would be a hell of a jobThe NSB mods are modding and chilling with us here right now. I appreciate them. They don't interfere or show their power. That's how you do it.
We need them to interject sometimes, tho, if one of us is getting out of hand, as it happens. Then they don't need to deal with complaints or bans later. Do it on the spot and move on.
Trolls should be kicked out.
The site is open 24/7
You got us from North America on now and then come the British ( 6 hour difference give or take )
I think they would shut down the site before taking a task like that at hand
And I really can’t blame them
Also , pretty damn sure they are boxing fans themselves and as human nature has it , they would feel or see things another way
Your right but then again what’s sensitive to you and me might not be to someone else
So we’re back to square one
Tell you what , it was a great fughin nightHey we need more details than that dude!! lol

And nothing better than being at a big show like that
Spent the week there and it was incredible
From photographers to managers to trainers to actual fighters from all over the globe
Had a drink with Ricky Hatton , that lead to us singing and getting quite wasted in a matter of 30 mins lol
Tiny fughin guy , tv does no justice for how small he isComment
