606 Rivalries

Just a bit of fun (any arguments break out and mods should close the topic)

Just wondered who your favorite rivalries have been with and who notable pairings have been?

I've enjoyed my banter with Truss the most I think - and seeing some of the older posts I think Az vs Everyone has always been funny to see.

Yours?

I miss Winchester. There again, I liked acne

Winchester!! Haha! Where is he?!

Also miss Azania, no idea where he has gone really, his views on Tyson and Price were ridiculous.

Also love Trussmans posts, always fun.

Az, D4, Truss, Winchester on boring days the arguments they'd get in to where great fun.

Remember my mentor and guide Julius_venivedivici against EVERYONE and the resident Calslappy fan club.

TRUSS v fightnews was always enjoyable. TRUSS by TKO

ONETWO v Knowsit17 was always a bloody affair

The rivalry between Coxy and Scottrf was pretty heated at times, although given that Scott used to get the better of Coxy just about every time maybe 'rivalry' isn't the best word to use!

Truss' rivalry with Dave was always the standout, although Dave is now having to fend off serious competition from TopHat for the title of being Truss' 606 nemesis.

Coxy vs D4 was always fun. Coxy used to think he had the upper hand but don’t believe a word of it D4 had him on a string.

Ceej vs STC could always entertain, although am not too sure STC would agree.

Coxy was hilarious. I think a number of posters had him on the verge of a meltdown.

Wonder how Geoff is getting on these days.

Coxy was hopeless. Would just resort to losing his rag and having a tantrum every time someone got the better of him. Although he did call me a "little stalkerish w*anker" which is both accurate and amusing.

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little ****ed up maybe, but we were entertaining how, I mean entertaining like we were clowns, we amused you? We made you laugh, We're here to ****in' amuse you? What do you mean entertaining, entertaining how? How were we entertaining?

I think it was me that tipped him over the edge. He came back as Vulva Equinox but that didn't last long either.

Great 'athlete' though. Century maker, scratch golfer, website design guru. Left a trail of broken hearts behind as well.

Haha yeh, Truss is definitely my favourite to debate with. Mainly because he's a very generous counter-party, he always gives you something or leaves himself open in some way so that, despite having vastly inferior boxing knowledge, I can drag an argument out for pages.

Not exactly a rivalry, but I always thought Gentleman01 is/was always a brilliantly challenging person to debate with.

The Gordys/Winchesters were often mildly entertaining, but it sometimes felt like they needed their wings clipping more often. Gordy in particular as he was a decent sane rational poster on other boards (e.g. football) but a total bell on the boxing board.

Dave667 always seems to have some good rivalries brewing, and I miss Ghosty. And Steffan too who always made me laugh.

Was it you that 'outed' him on his club's cricket website?

Nasty people.......

Nope. I just guessed where he lived and someone else did the detective work.

Yes, entertaining like clowns covers it perfectly.

There is an argument to be made that if you don’t want people to know your real identify picking a user name that is basically your surname and then telling everyone pretty much the town you live in and what you do in your leisure time is perhaps inadvisable. In terms of detective work it hardly takes Sherlock Holmes at his most cunning to unpick that one.

Are you being serious? You do know he is still here, right?

Didn't he do 20 questions with Coxy or something similar? I asked him if one of his teammates (named) was the best player he'd played with and he went mental. pm's as well. Tickled me.

He certainly was an 'athlete'.

I told him that website design was for those who couldn't get a proper career in IT, to say it upset him is putting it mildly.

Coxy got upset about everything.

Must admit D4 vs Coxy was amazing to watch, D4 isn't a troll, he doesn't know he's doing it but his blind ability to make one man rage was just incredible.

I think I'd say it'd be enjoyable debating with some people but generally if I see certain names like Captain, Chris etc I end up just shutting my mouth and reading.

Isn't Ghosty Terror of Tylorstown? They're very similar in opinion and methodology.

In Coxy's defence his opinions on Roy Jones were always fairly even handed.

I'd say 'consistent' might me more appropriate, Jeff. As in, consistently a load of cobblers.

Yeah, I dearly miss his thoughts on how to get the world out of economic trouble.

sans pareil

actually you are correct rowley - it is non pareil. I'll hang my head in shame.

Don't worry about it Sean. I had no idea, nicked the wording from the original Jack Dempsey's nickname. Gets us round accusations the thread is not about boxing.

On the subject of rivalries this thread is in the boxing vault and shows our spiritual father and much missed Windy in full flight on the subject of Jack Dempsey. The old boy certainly knew his stuff.

All very interesting stuff and then....

Gotta love JBW.

I missed that Tina. To be honest Windy spent an age cleaning that thread up before he put it in the vault as originally there were about 50 comments from Gordy saying Dempsey did not fight black fighters he is rubbish. Guess he did not do quite as good a job as he would have hoped.

Does 'rivalry' not oversell it a little? Would 'sad endless bickering between deluded ego's whose stubborn repetitive natures and lack of social acclimatisation, leaves them imprisoned in the virtual world... being clearly devoid of the skill set required to converse in the real one' not be a more accurate description?

Though i did get in a few myself back in the early days whenever leonard hagler cropped up.

Killjoy

Hahaha there has been some good banter on here over years. Some take it better then others.

Steffany doesnt like me too much I dont think  

Lumbering against Mackem always had the potential to get a bit heated, particularly if Lumbering felt like making his disdain for Mackem's notorious old 'drunken' threads known.

You hold a place in my heart SoF. You were the first person to openly question whether the Jabmeister was on the level with his Kell Brook exploits.

Pretty much everyone else fell for it straight away.

Mackem lost the high ground with Jack the minute he A) offered him out for a fight and B) said they should swap house pictures as Mackem's would be bigger.

Made himself look like a knob from then on.

You know you're in dire straits when you're conceding the moral high ground to Lumbering!

You're right, SoF smelled the old scent of the bull from a fair distance.

Hahaha cheers Tina  Brings back some memories when he was finally rumbled! Took it like a man though Jabby! No hard feelings.
 
I think I was the first person to call you Tina in the Strictly Come Dancing thread aswell but dont hold that against me!

what happened to mackem... did he retire himself after another midnight drunken rampage... or was he 'retired'

Yeah, he took/still takes his blows but at least he was honest in the end.

It certainly was you who started the Tina business! Then Scotty and Jeff latched on to it and it has stuck ever since!

He asked to be banned, I think, as he knew he couldn't 'control himself' after a few too many special brews.

Pity, I thought he was great when sober.

None taken, as Tina says I do still get the odd jibe which is all fine and dandy - it can be quite funny, JBW roasted me in the other thread which had me howling with laughter. The issue I have is when people are losing debates and throw that in. I'm aware its an admission of defeat given they can't get to me any other way, but still.

Have to admit, there was a lot of fantastic banter in Paperbags threads....what was that called? That quiz thing?

Asked to be banned, there's a new one. He got some flak for his drunken outbursts, but frankly if you just ignored anything he posted on a weekend evening he was a good poster. A few got a bit precious with him over nothing i thought.

Hahaha shows you how far the forum has come since 606 actually closed. We used to reminisce about the old place, now were reminiscing about old topics on here. Time Flies!!
