Think he can still compete at a high level but i defiantly think he is starting to slide. just a gradual decline from elite(was)>world champ levle (now)> Top contender levle (soon)>Gatekeeper levle (hopefuly never)....

You know it bruh , you thought about it again and then added that last bit about GGG, no shame or anything, I just thought it was funny because as soon as i thought wow he didn't diss ggg, look what popped up :lol:
He's done that before and then said prove it as well.
Prove I edited the post that Maggie is referring to or admit to lying.

Edit: you'll notice a date/time stamp associated to this post to prove it was edited.

There isn't one for the post Maggie is referring to.

He has become less effective in some ways, but how have his performances trended toward quitting on his stool?
who, EO? he definitely should quit on his stool, but he seems to keep walking face-first into the fire.

If you edit a post quickly enough on here it has no edit history, pretty sure most posters realise this. Never seen anyone like EO on any forum, ever. Nuts.

Guys, he's had a worthwhile career but i think it is time for us to accept the inevitable.

Sometimes a dude just goes on too long, even after it's become apparent he no longer has what it takes.

You start to notice the drop-off in production and quality, mistakes are made that wouldn't have been made before. He lacks the timing and distancing to open exchanges sharply, and he lacks the stamina to sustain long exchanges where previously they were his forte.

Ultimately you have to ask yourself, after taking so much punishment over a long career, how can we expect him to carry on like this?

It gets to a point where health concerns, and even mental health concerns, must be taken into consideration.

I think we have to bear some responsibility ourselves; if we keep asking the man to keep coming back to the well, aren't we complicit in his ever-degenerating condition?

Face facts, guys: EO is a shot poster.

He's taken too many beatings, for too long. His skills (never really his strong point as he was known as a 'volume poster') have deteriorated, and as his post resistance has gradually ebbed away all he's left with is that stubborn refusal to accept his own mortality and an instinctive desire to walk towards the fire like he was once coached by Teddy Atlas and some weird mid-fight analogy stuick in his mind. Even more sad to contemplate that it was his own style of reckless abandonment, always willing to take 9 shots just to bounce a couple of his opponents' solid guard, that has lead to his premature decline. It's a tendency common in prize-posters, but no less sad to see, EO stumbling on his heels across the forum like Rocky Lockridge circa 2018, occasionally giving vent to a CTE-ravaged opinion and barely able to perform the simple forum-equivalent task of tying his own shoelaces.

Ultimately, that high-risk, high-output style is always the one that ages posters most quickly, 'volume posters' have shorter peaks it's just a fact of life, so it's no surprise that EO is lurching across the forum like the forum equivalent of a stumblebum.

I just ask for some compassion and understanding, in what will clearly be a very difficult time of transition for him.

And to think you dedicated so much time carefully articulating a novella dedicated to yours truly is something I'm rather flattered about, regardless the nature of your intentions. :OhYes: :TU:

Look at Chenko's face after he fought Golovkin. Even at 38 y/o Golovkin is a dangerous fighter. :box:

you used to reply to fearsome fistic fusillades like that with blistering boxing broadsides of your own, EO.

seeing as pure output and stamina were your only forum quality, we have to question your future in the game if you can't even sustain those attributes any more.

see what I mean, guys? he's gone to the well once too often (probably a lot more than once, to be honest).

The question now remains, what happens to EO following a boxrec career? He has no business sense and no social skills unfortunately. I’m predicting a Jermaine Taylor type scenario.
