Even if you gave him a pass on the racism, which I don't, and even if you gave him a pass on being a jagoff, which I guess I would, the complete fabrication of events and quotes is too much. Good job Boxrec and good riddance.

But Duce got far more abuse his way than he gave back. I never read anything racist.

I occasionally skimmed the threads for amusement. Liked to read everyone getting all worked up about him.

When he first came on I thought he was just offering an alternative world of boxing that he ran like a boxing god via Title Bout.

I think BoxBuzz handled it correctly. People spout all kinds of nonsense and double standards on here. Duce just made a career out of it...

If you 'rarely read his posts' how do you know then that he doesn't deserve banning?? He has ridiculed, made awful accusations against fighters and been putting the forum into a risk zone by making libelous claims about living people...that is probably another reason for this eviction. ..

I had read a lot about Sonny Liston, Leotis Martin and Thad Spencer before even he started his threads on them.
Maybe Il Duce did have some unpublished info about them.
I know Motown records producer Berry Gordy purchased some boxer's unpublished memoirs(like Lorenzo Pack's),
mostly to help them out finacially I guess.
As far as an agenda.Do opinions here count as ' agendas' now on?
I was thinking maybe a moderator here will have the courtesy to tell us why
his posts are gone.
Maybe he deleted them all himself?
The only thing"offensive' I can think of was when maybe
when he asked another poster if his mother was finished mwashing his dirty socks.
That was kind of funny to me.

Did you not read what Wouter said, and what we have all been pointing out for months? It was all completely made up!

BoxBuzz wrote:OK...two of us have now explained the "why" within this thread.

And yet...the question keeps getting asked.

I promise the answer won't be changing.

SugahRay Robitussen wrote:How could Il Duce have been a 'racist"
if 4 of his 5 favorite boxers of all time were 'African-American?
Someone here had asked him a few weeks ago,whom his favorite boxers were,
I cant remember all five,but Larry Holmes
was at the top of his list.
Leotis Martin was also on there somewhere.

To some, this may leave hope that he was indeed correct.


Also....the best game he played (in my opinion) was how he interlaced truth with fiction. (Within his forum contributions)

Seriously, did no one else notice his love of this particular technique of writing?

He provided links to a lot of his sources and
Just because something isnt on google,doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

I imagine Mr Klompton did go to an attorney and they contacted the site?
