It still amazes me how few people have worked out who Horse is.

Yeah, sure.Tuan_Jim wrote:I know exactly what you're trying to do with this thread. It's the work of a man so self-absorbed you haven't been able to watch historic fights that are referenced on a daily basis on a forum of which you have been a member for eleven years.
All your posts in all your time here have been made to draw attention from the subject to yourself. This thread is the closest you can get within forum rules to creating a thread that's actually centred around you. The title might as well be: 'Horse... On Horse.'
Re: British & Irish boxing 52 fight history knowledge challenge
Davie, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed, helpful and courteous response, much appreciated mate.
And
I promise, I didn't seriously think you were a HORSE alt.
Have a good weekend

Re: British & Irish boxing 52 fight history knowledge challenge
Has anyone here watched the film 'Prick Up Your Ears' a biopic of the playwright Joe Orton? I always imagine HORSE to be like his partner Kenneth Halliwell (superbly played by Alfred Molina) if you haven't seen it, here it is:

NB: I must state I'm not implying that HORSE is gay like Halliwell (I image HORSE to be asexual) I just see similarities in personality and outlook.

These PIGGS, TROUTS and BUFFS do not fool me. They have made me waste my time, suffer for nothing, speak of them when, in order to stop speaking, I should have spoken of me and me alone ....
The danger is in the neatness of identifications.

"If it is to continue"? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Davie, as far as I am aware, Horse's monthly top 30 is not officially endorsed by Boxrec or any of the alphabet organisations. We could all post our own rankings at 00:01 on the 1st of each month if we were so inclined.
Re: British & Irish boxing 52 fight history knowledge challenge
I think I should be ranking fighters at the end of the month, based on their performance over the previous 31 days. I might start posting my top 30 at 11.59 on the last day of each calendar monthBoxerbeetle wrote:Horse wrote:Excuse me?davie wrote:I also have no problem with his monthly top 30 as a concept, where I do have issue is his stubborn refusal to budge in the face of sometimes uniform disagreement of the entire board with his decisions.
