I'm a casual, I think?

First topic message reminder :

I seldom fork out for pay per view, don't have sky sports, box nation, and normally only watch a fight if I'm really in the mood. If I'm not, then, I'll just watch the highlights.

What is a casual? Is boxing the only sport with a misguided elite who refer to others as casuals?

Catch 22. The best fighters who've fought the most know everything, this also means theyve taken more punches than anyone and are operating on muscle memory alone.

Valid point. What excuse do football pundits have? Too many headers? Too many beers? Both?

They were thick to start with

Apart from the fact that according George every HW whose fight he comments on is "the greatest of all time". Thought he was going to leap into the ring and ask for Lennox's hand in marriage at one point such was the magnitude of his fawning.

And I think that might have been after Lennox conquered the great Henry Akinwande. Aye, a true yardstick for greatness.

It doesn't make your opinion worthless Milky, it's just a different way of looking at it sometimes.

No, Milky's opinion is definitely worthless.

I agree. That maybe the only worthy opinion I've ever submitted here.

Not sure there is any maybe about it Milky.

I know yorkshiremen have the reputation for being mean with money, but they're so mean spirited too.

Revolutionary fire was as muzzled as it normally is at Lord’s on Saturday, unless you count one Yorkshireman’s insurrectionary zeal after being asked to pay £9.80 for a portion of fish and chips. Yet on an arctic afternoon when any heat would have been welcome, there was no evidence of an insurgency.

The really worrying thing is Milky you're one of the few people I actually like on here, can you imagine how unpleasant I am to those I don't like.

Rowley you treat those of us you dislike with indifferent ignorance, I as an attention seeker do not appreciate such treatment.

... Rowley seems indifferently ignorant to that attention seeking post.

...hammy, post on one of rowley's 'obscure fighters of the 1920's' threads. It will be a lonely place but some judicious sycophancy should help the ingratiation process.

Might be a bit of a wait though,  productivity is low.

We haven't even had the promised sell out 'how Gus tomato's death ended mike tyson's prime' thread.

I may have said that but I'm guessing it was on a weekend, in the evening.

Probably fella!
