The Gloves - The Boxing Board Pub Thread

by Adam D Fri 06 May 2011, 3:58 pm

First topic message reminder :

I, as well as countless other people have had enough of threads descending into utter drivel.

If you want to go wildly off topic and discuss things, then please do so in here.

Today alone has seen threads descend into conversations about Blazing Saddles, hot women, the Royal family, how to cook duck and now darts.

Is this really how we are going to attract new members?

If you want to talk about these or other similarly non boxing related matters, do so here and not on threads people have taken the time to write.

The Gloves is now open for business, now who is buying the first round?

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 9:46 am

Fists for me will go for

Ralphy - Woodhall to beat Benn in two rounds
The CEEJ plenty of fish situation
And hard to disagree with Spinning Back Fist.

by Guest Tue 31 May 2011, 9:48 am

One thing that confuses me though...and may confuse you once I've tried to explain it.

Tyson > GOAT translates as "Tyson is greater than the Greatest of all time" So surely that makes Tyson the Greatest of all time if he's surpassing the previous greatest. So this begs the question, can Tyson really be better than himself?

However, now I've given air to my concerns, I'm starting to see how the "Prime/Peak" Tyson issue comes into play, but even then, surely once it's been established which version of Tyson is the greatest, you still have the situation where Tyson > The Greatest Version of Tyson of all Time (or GVOTOAT to give it it's proper title)

That chap telling rowley to get back in his cage was comedy genius.

Who let Rowley out of his cage in the first place is what I want to know.

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 9:51 am

Dave you are trying to analyse and understand Tyson by the standards and conventions of normal people and conventional understandings of language and its nuances. We are playing with a whole different rule book on this one. If you just accept it as FACT!! will be far easier.

by Guest Tue 31 May 2011, 9:53 am

Fair enough, I'll hurredly build myself a cage and climb inside.

So, in a nutshell.......

"FACT > GOAT"

by Scottrf Tue 31 May 2011, 9:53 am

1. Lacy will beat Calzaghe within 4 rounds.

Why?

Simple...

2. Ceej plentyoffish

3. One of the many great TRUSSMAN ones.

You mean, something akin to a ' Quarterwit Firewall ? '

Splendid idea.

The Ralphy 'Woodhall to beat Benn inside 2' article was unrivalled genius.

I'm trying to recall the plenty of fish article, maybe I was away for that one. Scott's suggestion of why Lacy beats Calzaghe was a classic too.

by **HumanWindmill** Tue 31 May 2011, 10:10 am

Tell you what, fellas, this one looks as though it's going to be fun, so I'll leave it here for ten minutes or so, so that you all know where it is, and then I'll merge it into the ' Gloves ' thread.

by jimdig Tue 31 May 2011, 10:41 am

1) Danny Williams > Than Ali thread (tyson, holmes connection)
2) CEEJ plenty of fish dating and the unfortunate demise of LLR
3) LLR thread in general, pure entertainment, and educated and informed poetic WUMMING of the likes that has never been seen again.

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 10:43 am

Jim if I remember it the Williams Ali thread went one further and added Audley to prove Harrison was better than Ali. Was brilliant because it destroyed in one fell swoop the whole one fighter is better than another because he did better against a common opponent drivel we often have to endure.

Not necessarily. No proof Ali was better.

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 10:49 am

No proof Ali was better than me, but on balance I know who my money would be on.

by **Union Cane** Tue 31 May 2011, 10:51 am

I reckon I could have Ali.

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 10:52 am

So do I union, think if you were to explain your reverse linear theory to him he would quit within a couple of minutes at the most.

by **Union Cane** Tue 31 May 2011, 10:56 am

I'd need to understand it myself in order to do that...

by Rowley Tue 31 May 2011, 11:51 am

Well 606 is officially no more. Big banner on the top saying it is closed to comments. Let's see if we get any of the hardy final few making their way across

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 31 May 2011, 11:57 am

R.I.P, may the memory live long!

Your right Jeff, Adley greater than Ali, fact. Brilliant logic.

by compelling and rich Tue 31 May 2011, 6:21 pm

in the spirit of old 606

hattons ducking witter still!!!

Now you're talking CnR many an unproductive day at work manning the barricades with Marvellous1 on that one.

Anyone staying up for Froch-Johnson on Saturday?

by **Fists of Fury** Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:10 pm

Sky+ I think mate.

by Daz Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:35 pm

Any idea what time the Froch fight will start?

by Scottrf Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:48 pm

They reckon 2:45 but they are always very optimistic.

by Daz Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:50 pm

Dammit. Cba staying up anymore. End up watching the fight through 1 eye.

What are the earlier fights - doesnt it start at half 10?

by Scottrf Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:51 pm

Rees-Murray and Kessler on delay are the only ones I can remember of the top of my head.

by Daz Fri 03 Jun 2011, 3:56 pm

Cheers mate - gona tape it and watch it on Sunday. Takes over my whole weekend otherwise.

by Liam_Main Sat 04 Jun 2011, 10:45 pm

Will any of you guys be on the chat for Froch vs Johnson?

Its at the bottom of the forum home page now Scott

For the BBC606 old timers.

I've just had the pleasure of seeing ceej1979 getting totally owned on Eastside Boxing's General Forum. It brought back some very happy memories for me. I thought I'd share that with you as I know one or two of you will also get a little tingling sense of satisfaction out of hearing the news.

by **HumanWindmill** Mon 06 Jun 2011, 1:16 pm

Makes a very pleasant start to a new week, STC. Thanks for sharing.

by Rowley Mon 06 Jun 2011, 1:16 pm

STC a link would be much appreciated as I am very much in the camp of those who still never tire of seeing this

by **superflyweight** Mon 06 Jun 2011, 1:20 pm

Joined just after Ceej left but read enough of his posts before joining to know what an unmitigated idiot he was. A link would be great.

He hasn't changed.

by Rowley Mon 06 Jun 2011, 1:33 pm

The arguments change but Ceej's ability to win friends remains constant throughout. Guess the quest for artsy gunslingers in the Bristol area remained unfulfilled because his fishing expeditions clearly didn't do much to alter his personality

I sent him a friend request ages ago and..........nothing.

I'm a little hurt.

The path of true love rarely runs smooth STC. Always remember though if this does not work out there are plenty more of fish in the sea.

Hahaha!! I thought the same when i watched it. Cintron looked like he nearly died but fair play to Witter - he got up and jumped back in the ring!!

Who were harder?

by Rowley Fri 10 Jun 2011, 11:51 am

Rockers but Mods had better clothes, modes of transport, haircuts and music.
