    trainer Jeff Mayweather, told me today that he enjoyed participating here but the forum members basically ran him off. Too many people verbally abusive.

    The list grows. I hope some of you guys realize the damage you have done over time.

    I remember him coming here and I met him when I watched Barrera/Morales 3 with Supercal and Nigbo. He's cool. A lot of people have got run off of the site. Damn!:lol: :doh:

    He's a Mayweather. He should be used to chaos and dysfunction.

    Well, he has a point. Some of the guys here need to learn how to interact with others.

    He has no point. He wants a place devoid of critisism, that isn't reality. A forum is much too scary of a place for fragile egos :lol:

    I'm not really sure why people take these places seriously or personally.

    I find it hard to believe all these boxers have been "run off" this site but are brave enough to actually get into a boxing ring.

    What are you talking about? That thread should be used as a representation of the forum and our creativeness. It should be lauded to other forums and used to bring in other quality posters to participate here and expand on our diverse membership.

    I'll tell you what brother. Joe Rein told me many times before, kill the forums. it's a fucking waste. We are here to talk boxing, and the people are interested in something else. So this is no joke. The status of the forums is something sad and it's because people don't understand it's time to buckle down and get some people coming here again.

    So start spreading the word to bring people here so we can breath some life into this place.

    and while we're at it, how about anyone influential who must be laughing at the slanted garbage like that Taylor piece that have put up for awhile, from a place that employed someone who "could train Lou Savarese to beat Wlad Klitschko"

    and of course it couldn't have had anything to do with disagreements with people like Mark Dodge and Karl Hegman, both of whom staff for....I forget??

    I met Joe multiple times, he disliked the way fighters got trashed on here, I wonder what he'd think about articles shitting on Jermaine Taylor

    What was Jeff's moniker?

    How long ago did he post here?

    Maybe if people want to be off-limits, they can write their posts like this and we'll all know to take it easy on them.

    for the most part, people were very respectful with him, if I remember he left because he was having "internet troubles", not because of anything the members did

    That's what I remember too, that and he was busy training. I also remember him saying there are only so many questions he could answer, alot of the stuff was repetitive. But this was all back in the "hey day" of Fightbeat, but someone is spinning shit to where it's posters like us that are keeping him away :laughing:

    Please show me a successful forum where fighters dont get trashed. Even forums that are kicking the shit out of this one has fighter bashing. That isnt the reason this place isnt doing well. Please dont tell me what Joe says. If you think he is right, than close the forum down, dont try to bring more people here. This place isnt doing well because this site doesnt offer anything better or different than other sites. The homepage is messy, the articles could be better, the features are weak, etc. People cant even register:doh:

    I like it when we get fighters/trainers/'famous' people in the forums (or girls, for that matter) and it pisses me off when people go out of their way to be douchebags to them. Not sure why, but some dipshits get the owl/crow hate thing going whenever a boxer shows up.

    But, that said, it is the fucking internent and it's not to hard to blow off any losers who come gunning for you. Otis Grant and Gerald Tucker are two who come to mind that understand how the game should be played.
