Also you are making a shambles of this thread, if you wish to converse with further I suggest you do it via PM.

Thank you

[Counter-puncher]

, I'm pleased and yet saddened at the same time.

Ooh, we might call that 'ambivalence'.

But thats so redolent of a Freudian milieu.

I like to think of you more in terms of 'connerie', as Lacan would have it in his later Seminars.

Thats French for 'cuntery', by the way.

How about you make your little cvntsnide comments by pm, to whomever you wish to make them to, but accept that when you make them,and snideise the tone of otherwise well-intentioned threads, I will call you out as a pudendum over it?

Well, probably best you accept it, because thats whatll happen. You snidecunt.

[Andy Paints Brian]

snideise

[Counter-puncher]

You pick out 'snideise' but not 'cvntsnide'?

I would have thought the meaning equally clear in both, despite their shocking departure from proper English. If you fail to understand the common denominator of 'snide' in either of them, I'd have to assume you were some kind of thick pudendum.

So, this thread got interesting.

As much as I'd love to indulge in the shitslinging I'll probably stick to watching old boxing videos and discussing them with my pleasant boxing community buddies.

Been a tad busy of late, but should get caught up with Foster vs Finnegan during the week.

Regarding the next fight, if we are to go with an all British affair, Fat git made a couple of good suggestions earlier in the thread, Alan rudkin - Walter mcgowan or the 2 Daho vs Cowdell fights. Given the nature of the first of their fights we could certainly squeeze in a Daho Cowdell double bill

[PredatorHayds]

I'm two behind but should catch up early this week.

[davie]

I thought as a tribute to the passing of Walter McGowan, we could watch one of his fights for next weeks challenge.
His rematch with Alan Rudkin had been suggested but he lost that one, I think I'd rather see him in one of his more famous victories.
I'm not sure if the first Rudkin fight is available on youtube but his title win against Salvatore Burruni is.

Run! Before the art terrorists show up!

[davie]

So, McGowan vs Burruni then?

Yes.

This an interesting one, thrown up by the lesser known champions thread.

2 guys born in the UK, both lived and fought pretty much their entire career in Australia and i'd never heard of either.

Add it to the list?

I don't object to it being added.

Would you consider either of them to be British if compiling a British ATG ranking?

What other contentiously British or Irish fighters are there like that?

Mikkel Kessler has a British passport until he was 16. Should he count as British?

[Horse]

What about week 9?

I'm picking Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno (1993).

Lewis is a consensus top 10 British and Irish ATG and Bruno was his best British opponent.

No objections from me. Been a while since I've watched that one and we've had our fair share of little men from yesteryear, in the last couple weeks

[Horse]

Week 10.

I think we should have a Nigel Benn or Naseem Hamed fight this week. Maybe:

Nigel Benn vs Doug DeWitt (1990)

or

Naseem Hamed vs Steve Robinson (1995)

I suspect most of us have seen the Hamed vs Robinson fight loads of times by now - and it's repeated pretty frequently on B0xnati0n.

[Counter-puncher]

Benn dewitt is a good choice IMO

[Rexob]

Benn vs Dewitt What about Hamed vs Belcastro?

[Counter-puncher]

What about Hamed vs Belcastro?

Too onesided

[Rexob]

What about Hamed vs Belcastro?

Too onesided

Yes but a fantastic display of boxing from Hamed, don't you think?

Maybe it'd be good for Horse to see a proper boxing masterclass, help him put Fury and Murray's performances into context
