Got to admit Brian, I thought that was a bit... 'strong' of you, old chap.

Well crap! I said I wouldn't do that anymore too,lol!!
I don't feel I deserved the ORAL rebuttel though.

My apologies to everyone.

spartan- I strongly suggest that you do not display that type of language here again. Others have been banned on the first occasion for such language. You are either lucky or the admins aren't awake yet. Try being the bigger man next time as opposed to being the bigger ass.

Brian- Come on , man.

spartan,

No problem. Not every day is a good day on my end either.

Ahhh, this is so sweet... is it possible to have a virtual hug, or is that too californian? (or don't us tough MAists do that)

so..... it looks like this dicussion is close?

Close, but no cigar.

I have just finished my Christmas dinner, so I am feeling merry. Joy to all and happy holidays!

You could have a difficult task on your hands if you try and find a bigger boxing enthusiast than I on the FA forums.

The FA forums are a great and good thing and personally, I like the status quo.
I get to talk to people from other martial arts when they ask about boxing on specific forums, such as the karate forum or Tae Kwon Do forum. These are folk with a different background than my own who I can possibly help. It gives me great pleasure.

There was recently a very good post about Tyson vs. McBride on the MA talk forum. If someone has a question to ask about boxing, they should just post it in a suitable place. Life is too short to wait for a specific forum. Almost certain I will respond to it if you do!

As it is the season etc etc..., I am going to post a boxing topic on the MA Talk forum now. Hopefully will sate the pugilistic-lust that has been expressed here. And if that doesn't, a cold shower should do the trick.
