I think the board is doing fine. What do people want? 100 posts per day? I'm sorry to say that if we had more than 100 posts in here, most of them would consist of repetitive comments.

the board is doing fine but it wouldnt hurt for threads to be made about fighters we dont get to see here in the states or maybe up and comers from peoples regions that we havent seen yet... i think sentral made a very good point that the board could use a little more international flavor...

He made a good point, but I've seen threads made about guys like Chris John, Dzinziruk, Omar Navarez, etc. and only a couple of people reply. If they haven't sen the dude fight, they don't want to talk about them, which is understandable. That being said, when conversations take place in here, they're quality shit.

Jack Lyon is as good a friend as I have ever had. He introduced me to my wife, three blocks from where I sit this minute.

Jack lied about his age to get into the USMC, prior to Pearl Harbor. He was assigned to the 1st Marine War Dog Platoon where he trained/lived with a Doberman named Duke for months. Their 1st assignment was guard duty at Camp David.

Duke and Jack were assigned morning watch outside President and Eleanor Roosevelt's quarters. Every morning The First Lady would emerge with Fala, the President's pet Scottish Terrier for a walk in the garden. Jack and Duke would stand at attention and inevitably, as Mrs Roosevelt walked by with her little terrier, Fala would attack Duke, circling and nipping at the large Dobie. Mrs. Roosevelt would blush while ordering fala to stop, in vain. Duke never waivered from his post, even when the President's spoiled pet drew blood.

The First Lady always apologized profusely, but the next day the scene always was repeated. Finally, one morning, Eleanor Roosevelt approached Jack and Duke alone after the walk and asked if Private Lyon had any ideas to cure Fala of "his bad manners?" After some pleading Jack finally replied that he could indeed cure Fala of his nasty habit, "but you would not like it, Mam."

"Please private, I implore you to help me with this problem." Jack relented and said he would "work with Fala" the next morning.

Morning came with Jack and Duke at their post and snapping to attention when The First Lady and Fala came out for their morning walk. Fala on cue attacked Duke as usual. Jack moved his hand slightly and said "Duke." The Doberman grabbed the President's Scotty in his jaws, shook him back and forth violently and tossed him into a rose bush.

Fala was cured of his nasty habit from that day forward.

Boxing has died down a lot in the last year. plus " lack of quality posters is what really holds this forum back." I think is true.

Back in the day we had a lot of real knowledgeable adults on here. Now ,maybe im just getting old, it seems like mostly teens or those who act that way.

All this post needs is a soundtrack of Archie Bunker singing Those Were The Days.

I've dug around in the Fighthype archives now and then. There was no shortage of juvenile behavior on this board "back in the day."

I really think that the decrease in activity has more to do with the evolution of digital media.

Archie Bunker singing Those Were The Days.>>>

as I said It could be in part that I am just getting old. I also was a big fan of Archie. LOL

I spend time on cbz which is mostly very knowledgeable old men LOL. That board has been really dead, the traffic there (when its not being hacked) makes this look like facebook

I've been lurking on these boards for quite a while now...I'm actually surprised I even remembered my password to log on!

Nonetheless, when I visit this site, I usually browse the front page, then come straight to the forums to see what's the latest news. True enough, many of the newer posters tend to sign up with a particular agenda in mind, usually to bash a certain fighter, prop up their site, and so forth. Every once in a while, like today, I get the urge to post, but I will agree that many of the discussions tend to get out of hand, and posters simply begin to attack each other.

Since my account is still active, maybe I'll browse around and make a few posts; might start a thread or two on some of the yungins in the sport today.

I wish I could post more on here. It's just a time issue though, and you need priorities in life lol. I got to work all day, and being the accounting intern, it would be frowned upon if I just went on fighthype (shitty concept huh). Also, going to school full time, then having all the homework takes a toll. I try to get on every once in awhile, and contribute some decent stuff. This is the best boxing site and forum though hands down. When Jason Litzau has a fight coming up I'll pop a thread up lol.
