    That's very noble of you. I'd like to help out in some way but i'm kind of busy with drinking and stuff. You know how it is.

    Same. I can't be bothered. But I'm hoping someone steps up before it's too late.

    You can still right this ship, Doub!

    I've told you before, the first step to recovery is sending me nudie pics of your sister(s).

    Only then can we move forward into the land of bliss and sanity.

    You know, I think there could've been something to it, but it didn't go that direction.

    I mean, a gimmick to me is a guy who fights like a whirlwind for 1-2 rounds and then his stamina craps out and he's stuck gong rounds.

    Or a left hooker, who's gameplan basically falls apart once you take that punch away.

    But if a gimmick is coming into the ring on a magic carpet, then yeah, this thread is garbage.

    Believe me - it's the former. It's about the likes of Briggs, Valuev, even potentially Pascal.

    I was thinking the same thing. You even said you liked most of my posts. I knew I should've stayed out of the political forum.

    I think its a decent thread. A guy like epifano mendoza was a gimmick fighter. If he didnt ko someone early, he would lost for sure.

    Paulie also was. If you could get past the jab, he had nothing

    But that's a bit like saying Howard Davis Jr was a gimmick fighter.

    He just translated very badly into the pro game at a time where the quality was very high.

    Him and Mark Breland would be titlists today.

    In Brelands case, probably a pfp titlist with a long reign instead of the short one he had.
     
  25. Ok, I’ll bite...

    What’s the definition of a gimmick fighter?

    Mayorga...a guy who smokes and drinks in the ring after the fight?

    Eubank (snr) who wears monikers etc ?

    I don't think this is definable
     
  27. Knowing Double L, in his head it must simply mean “hippity Hop” fighters

    Jaidon Codrington.




    Brought out a video game too.





    Jaidon Codrington must be the first fighter of the youtube generation to have over 80% of a damn-near 15 minute video of one of his fights exclusively given over to coverage of his prostrate ass.

    The other 20% or so being dedicated to how he became prostrate in the first instance.

    Pretty fucking gimmicky when you consider the guy who beat him was the ultimate gimmick himself in that he couldn't figure out if he was a boxer or a student or what-not.

    Take a bow Mr Green, take a bow.

    Which of course, Green did, in due course.
