*****s and *******s unite: Boxing Appreciation

[1toTHADOME]

i respect very little *****s, but i do respect floyd as a boxer, and out side of the ring, i just cant.

So you only respect *****s if they are little midgets?

[Clyde Barrow]

We love watching the big names fight but boxing was here before, and will be here after the present top guys are all gone. The back and forthing between Floyd and Manny fans is trite.

[The Great Shark]

Why can't we be friends.....

Boxing will always be here but I'm just expressing my gratitude for this decade and for those to come.

[BritishBoxing92]

In five years, most of our favorite boxers will be retired or way past prime, punching himself out of his own misery until boxing becomes the death of him. From 2009 and out,

Miguel Cotto will be 34 (already stated he has a couple more fights before he hangs them up)
Manny Pacquiao will be 36
Ricky Hatton will be 36 (signs of his decline are already evident)
Floyd Mayweather will be 37
Wladmir Klitschko will be 38
Juan Manuel Marquez will be 41
Shane Mosley will be 43
Vitali Klitschko will be 43
Roy Jones Jr. will be 46 (its pretty clear the Roy of the 90s is no longer with us)
Bernard Hopkins will be 50 (by the looks of it he's looking to set up his last few fights by this year)

Of course there are a lot more but these are just a few worth mentioning.

A lot of you following the sport religiously probably notice a pattern in fighters of our era either retire early or retire too late in their careers. Nowadays, top fighters make enough money to retire early, leaving fans yearning for more, dreaming of what fights could have been if fighter a fought fighter b. Not to worry I do realize there are many up and coming fighters but again there will never be another Mayweather or Pacquiao. They are one of a kind, at least for me anyways.

So this is an appreciation for the fighters of this decade, giving us the exhilirating, adrenaline filled entertainment we love so much called boxing.

Appreciated

good thread Great Shark

[ummmid]

It's your take because you decided to take the same route as wXh, which was try and bash on me and or the thread I made. It's okay though, everyone see's the same thing as me.

sir, you are mistaken. i merely pointed out how your argument with the gentleman wazaa and the illustration of feces somehow affected the integrity of your thread, if this somehow offended you, i sincerely apologize.

bashing you and your thread wasn't really my intention, honest. you see if i really wanted to bash, this is what i would have posted:

In five years, most of our favorite posters will be retired or way past prime, posting himself out of his own misery until boxingscene becomes the death of him. From 2009 and out,

The Great Shark will still be having catfights with wazaa
The Great Shark will change his name to The Tyrannosaurus Rex
The Great Shark's balls will finally start to drop
The Great Shark will finally move out of his parents' place
The Great Shark will finally come out of the closet

Of course there are a lot more but these are just a few worth mentioning.

A lot of you following the forums religiously probably notice a pattern in posters of our era either retire early or retire too late in their careers. Nowadays, top posters make enough points/rep to retire early, leaving readers yearning for more, dreaming of what e-fights could have been if poster a fought poster b. Not to worry I do realize there are many up and coming posters but again there will never be another The Great Shark or wazaa. They are one of a kind, at least for me anyways.

So this is an appreciation for the posters of this decade, giving us the exhilirating, adrenaline filled entertainment we love so much called posting.

Appreciated

but clearly i didn't. so yes, that wasn't my intention to begin with.

[Banned4Life]

I respect Pacman, and his commitment, and thriving to create a legacy. I just can't stand some of the fans that make up all this crazy ****, and show no logic in arguments. They show no love for boxing, but rather lover for Pacman.

Sorry but if your are like what I explained above, I can't appreciate you. ***** or *******.

There's no need to instigate. That just adds more fuel to the fire, which was your intention.

If you truly had ANY intention in bringing a positive force you would have put your two cents about boxing.

what a great way to start an appreciation thread

Again which fan base started the hate in this forum ?
