Yeah it’s great also if they could fix the site and maybe get rid of all the bots and while they’re at it , maybe get rid of some posters who rip off other sites and try to make it their own

there's no feedback for the pickem for more than a year apart from with Jaded who was sticking but now even that has stopped. And deffo no prize money - not that it would help me any lol

I just don’t get it ; investing money to buy the site but leave it dangling like it is makes no sense
I was another sit when I first joined here and we’d do boxing , nascar and there was also a pool for soccer
i won the nascar and was pretty cool to receive a die cast nascar form my favourite driver
Better than slick in the ass lol

It's great that BoxingScene reads the comments and better still to have some feedback and engagement with the writers. It's also a very general diagnostic of my reading habits here to see if I remember any or all of the featured comments.
7 for 7 this week, woo hoo.

I am with you. At first, it was surprising me that BoxingScene read all our comments. On second thought, they are just like us - this is their favorite sport and they want to know everything about it and they want to talk about it all day long. Probably like us, they don't have too many people in their families who are interested in talking about boxing all day long either. My wife is interested in boxing as much as I am interested in handbags and shoes.

LOL handbags and shoes
In real life there is practically nobody for me to enjoy boxing with these days. Imagine back in the days of Joe Louis and probably Ali, too, the big fights were likely common water cooler topics that most people could relate too. Bivol v Beterbiev these days? Good luck with that! B-who?

I read somewhere that Vinny Pazienza is a potential IBHOF candidate in the future. While Paz was a tremendous all-action fighter and staple of Saturday afternoon fight cards in the 80s and 90s, he has absolutely no business in the IBHOF while much more deserving candidates like Marlon Starling and José Luis Ramirez remain on the outside looking in. Starling and Ramirez had much better careers than Vinny.

Induction into the IBHOF should be about resume and results in the ring, not how warm and fuzzy a particular fighter made boxing fans feel on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the 80s and 90s on NBC Sportsworld. I feel very strongly about this.

Not just a candidate. He will be inducted this June.

Guilty as charged. I'm the person who compiles comments and sends them on to the team to respond.

Been on these message boards for 21 years now. Which is fitting because too much time on these forums can drive a man to drink...

[Mr. David]

Lara has still never faced a world class middleweight. How long has it been since he fought a credible opponent?

Six years! Brian Castano, March 2019
