i have never made a one-month off bet...

[Illmatic]

but im sick of all the underrated of taylor who has done shitloads more than Pavlik (who i will admit, has surprised me,again and again), so...one poster, a poster who will actually by honor follow the conditions.

The ban will start the monday after the fight. one month.

who wants it?

[unclepaulie]

ill take it, but you probably wont cause i dont have enough posts.

One month off is just an excuse for the loser not to show their head in the forum and eat crow!

Instead of one month off, the loser should imo increase their post amount from the previous month to double that amount so that he may eat and properly savor the crow he deserves!:deal

eat crow? id just admit im wrong after the fight and go off for a month...i wouldnt be too ashamed of picking a fight wrong

[Nico]

I'll go avatar bet with you, Illmatic. Nothing too bad of course. If you lose, you might have to rock a Kostya Tszyu avatar for a week or two.

who wants it?Ive always thought Taylor myself has potential but as we seen in the Spinks he has his moments. The Pavlik fight should tell us more of were Taylor is at i feel.

I think Taylors biggest weakness though Illmatic has been he has believed those around him and the hype of himself. You should always as a Pro fighter think you are the underdog it makes you work harder and i feel thats all Tayor needs is someone to tell him that Yes you could lose if you dont work hard enough.

I wont be taking a avatar bet for month on this fight because honestly i feel if Taylor doesnt show up like he didnt against Spinks he may lose but if he does turn up he will box Pavliks ears off.

Tough one to call but i wont be making any bets on it.

Thats right, that would be easier on you if you were to lose...admit you're wrong and hideout for a month!:patsch

.....in the case of you being the loser, you'd should hang around more often so that others can say, "I told you so" and you'd have to hear it over and over again.

[Sai]

I want Taylor to lose, but unfortunately Im sure hell manage to do enough to get the nod against Pavlik. Id be very happy to be proved wrong though.

I'll take your bet. I don't want Taylor to lose (don't care if he wins or loses really) and I respect him as a fighter. But I don't think he works well with Steward and he hasn't shown the improvement I hoped for, so I think he will probably lose this fight.

I'll understand if you would rather take the bet with someone who truly dislikes Taylor like Zakman or Amsterdam.

[liljp361]

Can i bet with somebody that Mosley will beat Cotto because its a guarantee to me Shane will win. I havent been this sure of a big fight between 2 big name guys in a while.

[Amsterdam]

Make it 3 months Illmatic and we have a deal.:good

That is, if you're really stupid enough to pick Taylor over a hard hitting pressure fighter.

[pioterbezkitu]

I'll take a one month off bet or an avatar bet.
And my pick is Pavlick offcourse

[Illmatic]

nah, one month and its a deal

[Amsterdam]

nah, one month and its a deal

Well, I'm up for 3.:D

Maybe Compukiller will take you for 1.

[Lampley]

I don't like the month-off bets. The board needs all the good posters it can get.

Avatar bets are much more fun, because everyone gets reminded that the person lost the bet for a month. It's also more creative.

I'd definitely like to see both Amsterdam and Zakman involved in a bet, because they've been the most vocal about Taylor.

Similarly, I hope the Calzaghe and Kessler fans will work something out for that fight. (Of course, some of those guys probably will just disappear like Pantera3000.)

[kg0208]

Well, I offered:deal

[Guru_Too_You]

Month off bets blow.

Its all about avatar bets.

[pioterbezkitu]

This will be an easy win for Taylor. Count on it.

Wanna bet? :smoke

I agree just an excuse for the loser to get off from eating crow...like in the PBF-Oscar fight.:yep

[vonBanditos]

[Zakman]

I'll understand if you would rather take the bet with someone who truly dislikes Taylor like Zakman or Amsterdam.

I've already at least one avatar bet, and I don't take these silly month off bets, so you all have to get in line!:yep I'll take all comers, though!:hey

But unless Taylor is still standing at the end - which I HIGHLY doubt - HBO won't be able to get him a gift decision THIS time!:-(

But if they ARE, I'll be sporting Taylor avatars from now til next year!:lol::lol:

I will take Pavlik.

But not this ban stuff.

I prefer the loser to come up with a thread lambasting the boxer he favored to win, and would always bump it every now and then for three months, for everyone to see how dumb he is in choosing this guy..

YOu can write there why you were wrong, and how did you see the fight, your view on the fighter who beat your man, etc.

What do you think?

[Illmatic]

Well, I offered:deal

i know man, but ive never had any beef with you....it wouldnt be satisfying or make the bet exciting.

I got's Zakman on an avatar bet for the Taylor fight.

[dumdane]

Make it 3 months Illmatic and we have a deal.:good

That is, if you're really stupid enough to pick Taylor over a hard hitting pressure fighter.

Amsterdam just looking for ways out of the worst post Kessler-beats-Calzaghe humiliation with the 3 months bet it seems:lol:

...although it probably won't work as Taylor will likely lose.

[Amsterdam]

No, you're incorrect, I'm just looking to remove a Taylor apologist for 3 months, as they are obnoxious fans in my opinion who lack the observational skill within boxing and are the reason that rankings are unjust.

I'm willing to take the chance to sacrifice being able to talk about Joe's biggest career win on here because I am supremely confident that Taylor cannot hang with big, hard hitters going by his track record and stylistic/intangible flaws.

I hope you stay around after Joe trashes MK. MK is a GREAT fighter and is going to be one of the best from 168-175 in the years to come, but I fear your type may just leave.

[Amsterdam]

Hey Illmatic, how about a year?:hey

[Illmatic]

Not enough confidence in your man Illmatic? Don't worry, if I were you I wouldn't have much confidence in Taylor either.:yep

confident enough to make a one month bet....i want a big taylor hater in here....

[Illmatic]

Hey Illmatic, how about a year?:hey

if you aren't going to participate, then i guess there's no need for you in this thread then

[Illmatic]

He'd have to be out of his damn mind to take on a bet that big in regards to Taylor. :yep

whats keepin you from stepping up rey? or are you content to just heckle from the sidelines?

[Amsterdam]

whats keepin you from stepping up rey? or are you content to just heckle from the sidelines?

I am confident enough for a year bet with you, but 3 months is not a big deal, if you realistically feel Taylor will win, then you will step up to the 3 months.

If Taylor wins, which you think he will, then the Amsterdam account does not post for 3 months, that alone should be worth it if you think Taylor will win, since you dislike Taylor hate and I am Taylor's BIGGEST hater and back it up with logical analysis at that.

if 3 months is doable then 1 month should be no problem

[Amsterdam]

1 month is no problem, I am just looking to make a point on Taylor and Taylor apologists.

[Illmatic]

then take the bet

[Illmatic]

I'm a huge Pavlik hater. Unlike some here I've been bashing the guy since the Hopkins fight... but honestly I think the fight could go either way. I see gaps in both guys' games that the other one could exploit so I don't think I'll be risking a ban on this fight. Besides I get banned on a regular basis anyway :D and I don't make these kinds of bets for that very reason, and I like my time here.

Plus I don't see what the point is here of taking a one month ban. If Taylor wins then he'll get respect out of even the greatest Taylor haters so no need to run them out of here... and if Taylor loses, then you're dumbass is shit outta luck for a month. Doesn't seem like a very good proposition to me.

:huh its a friendly wager....my time on esb isnt so valuable that a month off would destroy my life

[Amsterdam]

then take the bet

Okay, deal.:deal

[Illmatic]

Okay, deal.:deal

alright, ban starts monday after the fight.

[Illmatic]

You know what fuck it! I'm tired of your whiny-ass crybaby Taylor hugging rants. I won't mind if your ass is gone for a month. Add in a one month avatar change after the ban and you got a deal.

que macho! :yikes Its about time you got off the sidelines. deal.

[Illmatic]

Man you're not gonna like what I do to you if Taylor loses. :-( :yep I can ride people to the ground for messing with me. Just ask Reggie, he's banned me for that too.:yep

i got plans for you too holmes

[IntentionalButt]

I'll take your bet. I don't want Taylor to lose (don't care if he wins or loses really) and I respect him as a fighter. But I don't think he works well with Steward and he hasn't shown the improvement I hoped for, so I think he will probably lose this fight.
