A couple of years ago now...

I've always been curious if anyone else ever noticed it.
That's not funny at all...yeah, sure if you find maligning all grappling sports and equating MMA with homo-erotic behavior funny..
come to think of it I'm glad this thread was created...I'm glad kid mcCoy got banned...
and the others in this thread who feel the need to bash MMA, there are many boxing only forums around...why not go to those..
MMA hating Boxing fans are no better or worse than MMA fans who come here and say stupid $hit like boxing is dead.
maybe he was just a bullshitter, everyone's got a little bullshitter in them, just look at our presidential candidates.
Sorry but his constant MMA bashing and repeated attempts at labeling Tim Sylvia one of the best MMA fighters of all time was annoying and ridiculous.
I just ran across this old post of Kid's last week when I was looking for an old post of mine for that amateur boxing thread;
"A little truth, a little BS; Boom, you get a post together." - Kid
This thread was made in the Pre-Dejulez era.
ya, it's normal i think, call me jaded. sometimes the excess bs is worth it though.
There's no such thing as a Pre-Dejulez era.... in spirit,you've always been with us.
Come on, LI....
not on this thread. This is solely remembrance.
I'm not saying your comments have no weight - just not here.
You savage BASTARD!!
And i will never leave. I will sacrifice myself for the sins of Sherdog if need be.
Even with a little bullshit thrown in here and there, Kid was still the best poster this site has ever seen in my opinion. Both in the substance of his posts as well as the structure. And like you say, Moz, we all have a little bullshit in us on occasion.
Paul ate too much cheese, not good for the mind.

he was, his knowledge spanned ridiculous lengths and of course I'm skeptical of anyone who claims to have a strong opinion of the pre-1920 fighters since we don't have much to judge on, he was still the best. I remember him claiming Joe Louis was the best hand to hand, unarmed combatant ever, bar none.. sometimes he'd say things and you'd go "what the fuck" but you gave him so much credence that you had to entertain his ideas.
Yeah, his knowledge was tremendous and especially his posts that were historical in nature, which made up the majority of his posts back then. Tons of good shit was included in those even if you didn't agree with his more opinion based points in his posts. Those opinions of his deserved respect because you knew that they were informed regardless. Kid did add a lot of troll directed at the MMA fanbase towards the end of his run here, but that was limited in the years before. As somebody who used to post a lot about history in the past here I can kinda understand why he got away from that towards the end too. Nobody seems to give a shit about boxing history anymore at this place, or if they do, they don't want to discuss it. I started a thread a couple of months ago on here discussing some historical stuff while trying to promote a little bit of discussion and I think I got maybe one or two responses in it that could further discussion. Why even bother posting stuff like that when very few people seem to give a shit? It used to be a lot different on here in that regards.

God you suck
I find that no one really likes discussing boxing history on this site. They like to let people know that they know who Duran is and like to post "lol" when you dare say a modern fighter could have competed 50 years ago.
Thats the big thing missing on this site lately. No one really studies the eras of the sport subjectively anymore. Its all who is ducking this popular fighter and what Mayweather said in a recent interview.
Kid McCoy was kind of a wang IMO.
Fun to talk to until you madehim realize he was wrong about something. Then he'd start calling you names and shit.
I still think he was a troll account multiple people used. Either that or he lied about his past.
who knows, he might still be here, i thought actjac might be him under a diff screen name.
Out of respect to TS...I retract my previous statement.
I can't believe he would ever just up and leave.
He has to be here under another name.
The last threads that Seano made were "Yusaf Mack makes a gay porn" and "GGG bombs at the box office" not anything historical. So I'll admit I laughed a bit when he was just lamenting about how sorely this forum is missing quality historical debate and how people just talk about things that Mayweather said. I actually think he once made a thread about a TMZ-style fighthype article regarding a bystander overhearing Floyd lecturing Pacquiao about honesty and integrity at a basketball game.
I'm not hating on Seano here, I don't mind any of his threads at all. The last one I mentioned turned into a modern classic. But there are a lot of guys on here that like discussing history (jay, slim, LI, Ironfist, Moz, to name a few) and they do so often.
Sylvia was a solid HW. He had obvious flaws in his game but had quality wins on his record.
I don't see a huge difference in sylvia and most of todays heavies to be honest.

Tim Sylvia for the life of him never learned to defend an overhand right...
and if you find no difference from him and the current top Heavweights, you aren't paying attention...
Tim Sylvia wouldn't even be a current top ten...
Tim Sylvia had a good jab and was able to utilize distance...nothing beyond that...
Start a thread asking if Jack Dempsey is a top 20 HW all-time and see who responds with the longest post.I can't believe he would ever just up and leave.

Its a different crop of posters here now, though. Moz, Sharkey and I get it. There were a lot more hardcore boxing fans here, fans who enjoyed the sport. I think we get a lot more casuals here now. I'm not even saying its a bad thing, just saying its different now. This really was a fantastic boxing forum for a couple of years.
And I'm not just saying this because I like those guys better than current posters.There were as many asshole then as now.
Oh, and I always made threads like the Yusaf Mack thing. Thats just my sense of humor.
Check out this one- this one was underrated IMO.

Where'd those other posters go? It's weird that they'd just disappear.
I really don't know much about boxers prior to the Ali era, besides the stuff that everyone knows (I don't really count watching SRR and Willie Pep highlights as having knowledge).
hahahaha Jesus, don't remind me of that. I actually had NO idea that had happened until I joined here. Cottagecheesefan told me about it, and might have even linked me to that thread because I definitely saw that thread before.
I don't think McCoy was one person.
Who do you think was using the profile??
