    I can't figure out how to get a horse racing article on the horse racing page. When you use the standard writing format there is no "horse racing" as a topic...I saw where BR says you can post from the Horse Racing page, but I don't know the trick...thanks. -- gp

    Good day my fellow boxing enthusiast,

    In an effort to foster unity and camaraderie in our little boxing community, yours truly came up with an idea of making up an article concerning the mythical pound for pound list.

    The concept is inspired by our community leader Bryan Trafford.. So all credit goes to him.

    I'll appreciate if you'll send me an e-mail and voiced out your opinion on the matter, nevertheless you can just post it on my BB.

    My e-mail.. louierrific_24@yahoo.com

    The voting process will end April 6. It's not my article, it's our article and it'll be published April 8. I expect your support guys and I hope the best for the boxing section,

    Sincerely,
    Louie/Lou/voodoo doll or whatever you want to call me.. =)
