    The big difference between you and I as men is that you're the type of cat who is totally and completely INCAPABLE of admitting to being wrong about anything. Its a terrible trait to have, and something I've always disliked about you. YOU initiated this bullshit. You made an asinine statement about Louis, I questioned how many Louis fights you've seen, and you went ahead and had your period.

    I have a big ego, and I looovveee to be right, but I realize that often I'm not.

    You dont possess that character trait. In your eyes, you're incapable of ever being wrong.

    Change, and maybe you would be more likable.

    1st of All, If YOU Don't Like REED @ All or EVER Again, Who Gives a Fuck???:Dont:...Likable to YOU; a SELLOUT Ass RJ Fan Who Threw Him Under the Bus Because of BF Peer Pressure...Eat a Dick, Jussie Smollett...

    2nd of All, Just Yesterday, REED Credited Double L, a Poster He RARELY Agrees w/For Making a VALID Point About Floyd Picking/Choosing SHORTER Guys as He Moved Up...Ask George, He RESPONDED to the Post...

    3rdly, Ask JOM if REED Admitted to Being WRONG In a Deontay Wilder Thread Pertaining to His Out of Ring Interaction w/Dominick Breazeale, When REED Felt Like Wilder Was Being Attacked, Yet LEARNED Different???...JOM RESPONDED to the Post...

    The Fact YOU Think REED Initiated This Particular Exchange Shows Just How Faaaaaaaar UP Your OWN Ass You Are...Your Tone was SHITTY AF and You KNOW It, Just as it Is In MOST of Your Posts Lately...But Instead of Complaining, REED MATCHED the SHITTINESS of YOUR Tone, Then You Got All Caring and Sensitive, Calling REED "Sensitive", Exposing the True BITCH In You, Common...

    Joe Louis' Hands were Fast FOR HIS ERA, PERIOD...His Feet Were PONDEROUS, Period...Like REED Said Yesterday How Many HANDSPEED or FOOTSPEED/FOOTWORK Threads is Joe Louis Mentioned In???:Dont:...

    The Question ANSWERS Itself, So Shut Your ANONYMOUS, INSECURE, DJ YELLA Looking, UNORIGINAL Content Posting Ass Up, Beyonce...

    YOU'RE the KNEEJERK Reactor of Fightbeat, Which is Why Caligula OWNS You Every Chance He Gets...YOU'RE the Clown on the Mythical Section, 5 Minutes After an Undefeated Fighter Loses...YOU'RE the Boxing Ignorant DIPSHIT That Literally Told REED Canelo Alvarez, @ 23 Years Old, WOULDN'T Get Any BETTER From Losing to Floyd...

    Find and Post 1, Just :FUAH: Instance Where REED was THAT Offbase and OUT of Pocket w/a Boxing Opinion, OR Shut Your Coward, Anonymous Ass the Fuck Up...REED Is Straight Up DARING You Too!!!....

    That's like The Wire trial where Clay Davis wins the case where he was accused of improperly using public funds

    If I'm all these things, how come you begged me to come back? Huhhh??

    If you announced that you were bouncing, and disappeared for a few months, do you HONESTLY think I would have asked you to come back? The answer is... no, I would not have, cause I've always thought you a clown.

    I think you feel hurt, cause you thought we were boys. You take this forum shit a lot more seriously than I, which is why you've always gotten into it with Anthony, Irish, Feebs, ect.

    Those cats are like me, we don't take it that seriously. It's just an internet forum, REED.

    I think you believed we were actually friends, cause you sound jilted.

    So again, Black Sugar in the Tank, Riddle me this: If I'm all these negative things, why did you PLEAD with me to return and take a mod role?

    Bet you can't answer that, and I GODDAMN SURE wouldn't have done the same.

    You show real animosity to your lightskinned brothers, REED.

    It screams insecurity.

    And don't give me that "Wesley Snipes drove yall outta style," bullshit.

    Dark skinned cats like Wesley and Idris are loved by ladies. No homo, those are good lookin brothers.

    Don't compare yourself.

    You have a UGLY dark skinned brother complex; seen it all my life.

    Yall be the first ones to shit on lightskinned people, yet go make yall some mixed kids with the QUICKNESS cause you dont want no dark skinned babies.

    I know your type tooooooo MF well.

    HOW and WHY Would REED Ever Think You and Him were Boys???:Jest:...

    REED Speaks on the Phone w/, Texts and Facebooks Several Fightbeat Posters...When EXACTLY Has REED Ever Asked for ANY of YOUR Information, as Such???...He Hasn't...With THAT Said, How in THE Fuck Would YOU Get the Idea That REED Considered You One of His "Boys"???:duck:

    Putting it ALL the Way Out There, REED Only Reached Out to You Because a Captain Obvious Post TRIGGERED Your SENSITIVE Ass Into Leaving a "I Hate Life, I'm Leaving Fightbeat" Type of Post...No MORE, No LESS...

    Did REED Want You to LEAVE, No...But Did REED See VALUE or WORTH in Your Bitchass, N0...How COULD He???...So Yeah, REED Vouched For You, Recommended You, But DON'T Get it Twisted Bruh, Nobody BEGGED Your HO ASS to Do Shit, and You KNOW It...You Could've ALWAYS Said No, But Given the Years You've Invested in Fightbeat, Like REED, He Figured it Wouldn't Be EASY for You to Bounce...

    But Hey, If You Want to TEST the Waters Again, BOUNCE Bitch???:Dont:...No One's "Begging" You to Stay Here...

    Here we go guys. This actually happened.

    REED:
    Like You Said, The Trolling Shit has Gotten Out of Hand...
    As of Today, There's an Opportunity to Moderate the General Forum...You're the ONLY Fitting Candidate for That to Me and YES, it's a THANKLESS Ass Job, But YOU Contribute the Most to the General Forum AND the Mythical Matchups Forum...

    I Think You're the Man to Get the SERIOUS Boxing Side of Things Back on Point Bruh...If You're Interested, That Is...

    You Wouldn't Even have to BAN Motherfuckers, Unless You Wanted To...Simply REMOVE their Meaningless Ass Posts...After Awhile, the Trolls Would STOP Trying, Because You'd Make Your OWN Rules...


    IJS

    I then respond and say that I'm content at ESB, and will only return if BOSS and Mustard get booted, cause at the time they were trolling the forum. Now to his credit, BOSS has since changed and no longer trolls, and for that I respect him.

    REED: I Feel you Bruh...
    But my Point is You Can LITERALLY Make the Rules X...Delete Their Posts, BAN Them from the General Forum and MM, etc...

    If it's about Those Assholes SPECIFICALLY, I Get it and Can't Fault You for Declining...But if You're the LEAST Bit Interested, Lay Down Some Rules, Be FAIR and Enforce Them Shits...

    Clean the General Boxing and Mythical Matchups Sections Up...




    Ole beggin, hoe ass. You didn't see value, right? If you didn't see value you woulda quit after the first message when I said not interested. You now look like a bigger joke than your YouTube page.

    Game over, bitch boy. I win. You ignore me, I'll do the same. Goodnight. Not responding again.

    Nope, REED's Showing Light Skinned Animosity to YOU, Specifically...Don't Get it Twisted...

    When REED "Fell Out" w/Feebles, He Said REED was Just as Racist as the Irish Incel, But as REED Told Him, RESPONDING to Bullshit w/Bullshit Makes You LESS Culpable...REED's NEVER Attacked Whites or ANY Other Race Initially, But Best Believe, if Someone "Goes There", Lowkey or Otherwise, DON'T Be Surprised or Get Caring and SENSITIVE About the Return Serve...

    1 Thing About REED, He's ALWAYS Swinging Back, PERIOD!!!...

    You Persist in Commenting on REED's Looks, Weight, etc., Yet AGAIN, REED's an OPENfuckingBOOK to Fightbeat...

    What Do YOU Look Like "Xplosive"??? How Much do YOU Weigh???...

    Pictures Speak a THOUSAND Words Bruh, Yet YOU'RE the Shit Talking, Light Skinned Bitch TALKING SHIT, Yet Showing NATHAN..."Fat", "Ugly", etc...What Do YOU Look Like???

    Agreed on both count, especially on the Golota part. I've rewatched his fightd against bowe not long ago, and was surprised at how much better he was than I rebembered him (mostly because he beacame a bit of a plodding eurostiff in his later years)

    Pascal was kinda like a less fast, but overall better and tougher Berto.

    Both had terrible stamina.

    Pavlik had decent hand speed. His accuracy and timing were impeccable, though.

    Hopkins definitely had quick hands and quick feet. Even in his early 40s.

    Kessler had quick hands.

    Julian Jackson maybe. People focus so much on the unbelievable power, that they tend to overlook his handspeed.

    Yeah for a white guy Kessler was quite fast, his handspeed won him the first Froch fight, as Froch was the stronger harder man. Kessler was able to keep beating him to the punch.

    Then again Froch would make Kevin McBride look fast.

    Kessler had actually slowed down too by the first Froch fight imo. His handspeed was indeed very good, as were his technique, timing, accuracy and punching mechanics. A really excellent straight puncher and stand up boxer-puncher at his best. He just struggled more when he couldn't control the range and people were faster than him, because he was a bit rigid, straight up and basic defensively and not the best at integrating his defence and attack, not comfortable with rough housing and sneaky infighting etc.

    He actually started to improve a bit at blocking, slipping punches and countering post injury problems imo when he was physically way past it and shaky looking on his feet, which was a shame. If he'd been able to do that in his physical prime he would've been extremely formidable.

    Yup! Exactly. I always say that to the Froch fans, but they don't wanna hear me. They wanna believe that Froch fought the very best of Kessler.

    Kessler's peak was 05-07.

    By time he fought Froch in 2010, he was FAR from washed up, but he was no longer in his prime either.

    A simple eye test will tell you that.

    Adding Azumah Nelson. I think often people have the image of the older, slower Nelson that got whitewashed by Whitaker, and outboxed by Lejia.

    Nelson had deadly handspeed in the mid 80s.

    Also, Lil Red Lopez. I think he might be one of the better examples. Lopez has a reputation for being a sloth. A huge puncher, but slow.

    But the Olivares fight, for example, exhibits that he wasn't slow. He was actually deadly quick in his fight. Should be noted that he was only about 24 in this fight... people might be thinking about him from the late 70s when he had more mileage on him.

    Agreed. Calzaghe had both quick hands and quick feet. Quick thinker in there too.

    Vitali was a bit faster than he looked. He cheated by throwing Punches with only some of their power on them.

    Vitali was a lot quicker circa 99-00.

    I think people have the image of the sloth Vitali who fought in the 2010s.

    The Thing w/Pavlik was his Punching TECHNIQUE and POWER...

    A 1-2 That Could Hurt ANY Man...In Pavlik's Case, REED Thinks a LACK of Handspeed Actually HELPED Him to a Certain Level...Poor Defensive Fighters May Have EVADED the Left Jab and Right Hand, But Pavlik was Firing LEFT HOOKs After the 1-2's, Also...

    Pavlik "Let His Hands GO", as They Say...

    BHOP and Sergio Martinez Were BAD Matchups, in Hindsight, But Pavlik was GOOD Until His Discipline Waned...
