The Xmas BLH Forum Awards

I think, considering the calibre of the community on here, it is fitting to have our own little awards for each other. 2009 has been a year of drastic improvement in my boxing knowledge, a year of increased familiarity with the proponents of our beloved sport, and a year of conversing with some people that I now class as 'mates', even over thousands of miles and zero meetings.
I am continually surprised by the level of analysis, the detail of some of the arguments, and the humour which which most people on this site put forward their opinions. It is rare indeed that so many people can cover so many contentious points without there being a degeneration into a condition I like to refer to as "Youtubecommentitis".
It is in this spirit I am going to give out ten awards. Ten categories, which will be as widespread as I can manage in my current inebriated state. Please feel free to comment, but for the sake of my sanity, please only suggest new recipients for the awards, not completely new categories. I may re-post the awards at New Year, if there is an overwhelming feeling that I've got them wrong. (Always open to friendly criticism, me!!)
Awards after the jump!!
The BLH Forum "Jorge Barrios" Funniest Poster Award;
In an American based forum, it is only natural that I do not understand all the gags, particularly when they are in reference to other sports. However, this year has provided me with a whole lot of laughs, about, well, everything really. There was one notable which I still have the ill fortune to remember every day, as a result of the consequences; (Thanks, jrok....) However, as much as the opinions of my winner are not always the same as my own, I find myself constantly laughing as the nature of the posts, which are sometimes dogmatic, often perceptive and sometimes just plain funny as hell.
Winner- battleaxeofdoom
The BLH Forum "Steve Cunningham" Peacekeeping Award;
Sometimes even this forum can get narky. I've tried my best to stay out of it, but I have succumbed, as have most people on this site. It is only natural, and it is kept to a minimum, thankfully. Aside from the excellent work done by SC in policing the forum, for which I am sure we are all thankful, there is still the need to show diplomacy at times. There is one person who stands out for this award, due to his cool head when all around go nuts, the fun yet deliberately logical approach. Several arguments have been stifled or avoided as a result of his intervention.
Winner- BrianBrock
The BLH Forum "Beibut Shumenov" Newcomer Award;
With moments of greatness provided by such flash in the pan newbies as tichbou, a late sprint from FCF and other internet luminaries like Midnight Rambler coming aboard, this was always going to be a tough category. However, there is one standout name for me as the Newcomer of this year.... combining the BLH spirit of fun with good knowledge and well written posts, it is only fair in my opinion that this award goes to;
Winner- Drunken Cutman
The BLH Forum "Bernard Hopkins" Encyclopaedic Knowledge Award;
This was a very tough category to pick. What with our host, SC, and the knowledge he brings, plus amazing contributions from other notables jrok and Zocalo, all of whom have educated me in various ways since I started coming to this site regularly, I feel that there is one poster on here that just stands out. I once heard an actor say that if Ian McKellan told him he (my friend) was just about to go and jump off a tall building, he would believe him. Well, if my winner told me Ali was a featherweight and that Gabe Brown was a tap-dancer, I'd probably believe that too.
Winner- Brickhaus
*The BLH Forum "Roy Jones Jr" Flashy Poster Award;*
By flashy poster award, I kind of mean those that best combine humour and wit with perception and sometimes even the ability to cut someone dead in their tracks. The guys we all love to read, who have knowledge and the ability to use it in ways some of us just can't. There are several on here that have these traits, notably Icollins1, battleaxeofdoom and sonofapsycho. However, I honestly don't see anyone being able to argue this category's winner, and if they do he'll probably put them in their place too....
Winner- jrok
The BLH Forum "Marvelous Marvin Hagler" Best Tag Award;
There have been some brilliant tags on the site, some that make you think, some that are funny as hell, and some that sum up either the quoted guy or the poster themselves. The easy option here would simply be to give the award to anyone that used a Tex Cobb quote in the last year, but I don't like doing things the easy way. By far my favourite tag on the site ever was the one for the site itself, "BLH; Watching Antonio Tarver so you don't have to....", but I don't know when that went and also I think I should give the award to a poster rather than the site itself.... One stands out for me. This is all about personal choice, I know, but mine is the current one of BrianBrock;
Winner- I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘’Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'’ (Bernard Hopkins)
The BLH Forum "Eubank/Benn" Best Two-way Debates Award;
There have been some epics, some real literary scraps. When I read some I felt like I was French; supporting whoever was talking at the time.... I have enjoyed my fair share too, I was bloodied and yet unbowed on the Meldrick Taylor debate where I took a battering from jrok and yet still believe in my conviction... I took a hamering from him too on the Margarito debate (the last time I'll play Devil's Advocate if he's the prosecutor!!). Icollins1, Zocalo, battleaxeofdoom, Areglado, and Option27 have all had some great clashes. It's been a real pleasure to see logic, reason, rhetoric and belief collide. Truly. I feel that my winner of this award is the best rivalry, the one I love to read the most, as it provides brilliant insight, some amazing debating skills, and a never-back-down ethos that is remiscent of some of the best clashes we've ever seen in our sport, let alone our sport's forums. Long may it continue.
Winner- Brickhaus vs jrok
The BLH Forum "Sven Ottke" Fighter Favouritism Award;
Notable competition has come from Option27 in his support of Floyd Mayweather, and the aptly named MannyPacquiao, of whom I feel it unnecessary to say any more.... Anyone who elevates Odlanier Solis to anything other than 'big fat chump' status deserves a mention here too, so SC must be recognized, but I'm going to go with a poster who appeared, made two fanposts about his hero (to my memory, I stand to be corrected), had his family tree questioned, and at one point had us all convinced he was in fact Andrew Golota....
Winner- jdoro63
The BLH Forum "David Haye" We Want To See More From You Next Year Award;
It happened with a bang.... and like the fictional anti-matter explosion in Angels and Demons it was brilliant, but then.... nothing...... After the great entrance of our winner, followed up by some promising performances in subsequent conversations, it all seemed like we had found one of our own. Then, with no notice, the posts dried up, and I for one wondered, "where has that guy gone?" We don't like being left in the lurch, and expect a far more consistent level of posting next year, if you please... :)
Winner- tichbou
The BLH Forum "Manny Pacquiao" Poster of the Year Award;
I have nominated some possibles. I feel it would be wrong of me to select this winner. The others are for fun, my own selections, but this one will simply be your call. The ten I have nominated are the ones I feel are most likely to be selected, and I have included my own name in there for the sake of ego... and hell, it's my poll... :)
I feel SC will run away with this, and justifiably so, but this isn't simply a popularity contest.... please pick your own choice for the person who has contributed most toward conversation, who has entertained you the most, educated you the most, made you laugh most or simply annoyed you the least!!
All the best for the New Year.

This isn’t fair… SC is by far the best poster… I mean he ordered the Judah PPV and March Badness…
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Yeah, that was the blazing start I referred to in the David Haye Award. :)
Oh where, oh where, has our little tichbou gone? Oh where, oh where could he be?

You only missed out on the "Shumenov" due to Drunken Cutman's commitment to volume....
But then you wouldn’t have got the “Haye”… every cloud….. :)
Some people are acting like Pacquiao should be expected to have just gone, "Yeah sure, let’s do something I’ve never done before because your dad made some dumbass baseless comment."
(SC, 28/12/09; http://www.badlefthook.com/2009/12/27/1221143/mayweather-pacquiao-update-bob#comments)
SC won my vote with his great RBR
they are a great way to recap a round and see how others score the same thing I see.
My top 3 are
1 SC
2 Brick
3 Jrok
But hopefully everyone continues to adds there 2 cents in bc I like most of what I read. Even when I disagree with some of the stuff it makes me think about it.
Voted for SC
seemed the obvious choice. Thankyou greatly for my award :)

No problem. :)
It’s been a pleasure.

I was kind of hoping there would be more suggestions for alternative winners of the awards-
To make it easier, I’ll put something here for people to cut and paste- just put your own nominee’s name next to each award!! :)

There’s over five days left in 2009!!
Only kidding – top post this. It’s my joint winner of the “Awards Post of the Year Award”, along with Brickhaus’ sterling effort. Now, where are the tearful, overlong acceptance speeches?
Didn't you see it said "Xmas Awards"... not 2009 Awards..... ;)

and all my friends and my wife for always believeing in me and God for making this special thing come true (repeat tearfully and with long pauses, inserting new and increasingly random people into the thanks.)

Um…..(long pause) as you can tell from the speeches I prepared, I wasn’t expecting to win anything….so thanks Chaos, and well done on being promoted to the front page ;) I’m still yet to ever do a fanpost myself, so will work up to that one in the New Year…lol thanks to everyone for making this site what it is ;)

I've only been on here for a few months,
so my opinion of y’all won’t/shouldn’t carry much weight. But here goes….
"Jorge Barrios" Funniest Poster Award; You’re all a bunch of freakin’ comedians.
"Steve Cunningham" Peacekeeping Award; Can’t argue with you on that, and if I did, I’m sure he’d sort things out: BrianBrock
"Beibut Shumenov" Newcomer Award; I’m not really qualified to judge this, as most people have been on here longer than me, but Drunken Cutman is a worthy winner. Also got to mention Midnight Rambler aka Ted Sares. I’ve enjoyed reading his articles: atmospheric, well-researched, and with a ton of humanity in them.
"Bernard Hopkins" Encyclopaedic Knowledge Award; How can I tell who knows more than me? You could all be making it up and I wouldn’t know!
"Roy Jones Jr" Flashy Poster Award; I’ll go with jrok
"Marvelous Marvin Hagler" Best Tag Award; “The Dude Abides”
"Eubank/Benn" Best Two-way Debates Award; Anybody and Chaos100, until they’re broken up by BrianBrock!
"Sven Ottke" Fighter Favouritism Award; Yep, the Golota guy
"David Haye" We Want To See More From You Next Year Award; Well, I want to see more of me
"Manny Pacquiao" Poster of the Year Award; Brickhaus. Or SC. Toss a coin.
All fair... thanks for being the only one to do it thus far!! :)
I don’t get your Marvelous Marvin Hagler Award? There is a distinct possibility I’m missing something, though…. :)
And as for your Bernard Hopkins Award, don’t worry, none of us knows more than you. We just like pretending… ;)
Boxing is the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight. (Omar Epps)
I think the Hagler is basically best reply or quote…
Classic quote…
“If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove”
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
No, the Hagler is "Best Tag"
A tag being the phrase at the bottom of each individual post you make… the ‘sig’ as some call it…. Sorry, should have been more clear…. :)

No reason on the Hagler award, just liked Battle Axe’s tag. I’ve gone and got my own now, anyway – and I think it’s the best!

“Jorge Barrios” Funniest Poster Award
As far as text goes, my sense of humor is pretty dry. I’ve laughed plenty at the comments here. Can’t think of anyone in particular, though. Brick got me more than a few times.
“Steve Cunningham” Peacekeeping Award
BrianBrock probably saved a few people from getting banned.
“Beibut Shumenov” Newcomer Award
I lose track of who’s new. I think Drunken cutman was new this year.
“Bernard Hopkins” Encyclopaedic Knowledge Award
jrok
“Roy Jones Jr” Flashy Poster Award
jrok or sonofapsycho
“Marvelous Marvin Hagler” Best Tag Award
Kittias Kid’s MMA Onion quote is always good for a laugh.
“Eubank/Benn” Best Two-way Debates Award
I think jrok and lcollins1 had a couple really good debates that I genuinely enjoyed reading through. I had nothing to add to either of them because every point had been made.
“Sven Ottke” Fighter Favouritism Award
Golota dude is an obvious winner because the dedication and research of his Golota love is actually quite impressive. I mean, I argued basically every point, but I also came away respecting his crush on Big Andy.
Honorable mention is due battle axe of doom’s Juan Diaz fandom. His Diaz fandom is such that he can criticize Juan Manuel Marquez for looking flabby. I mean think about that. battle axe stands by his guys.
“David Haye” We Want To See More From You Next Year Award
“Manny Pacquiao” Poster of the Year Award
I voted for me because I’m arrogant. And because I was on the poll. But otherwise I go with jrok or Brick.

I was also gonna call the Hopkins Award the “Freddie Roach”, but I wanted all fighters really, and also considered calling the Shumenov the “Andre Ward”….
Any suggestions where else I could have made improvements?

"Jorge Barrios" Funniest Poster Award;
Well this has to go to Battleaxeofdoom, partly for his comments before,during and after the Valuev-Haye fight.
"Steve Cunningham" Peacekeeping Award;
Brianbrock is the popular choice here for a good reason.
"Beibut Shumenov" Newcomer Award;
Well I am quite quite fond of me…
"Bernard Hopkins" Encyclopaedic Knowledge Award;
Brickhaus again
"Roy Jones Jr" Flashy Poster Award;
Chaos 100
"Marvelous Marvin Hagler" Best Tag Award;
I’m not sure who it belongs too but the one about Iran Barkley robbing a boxing journalists house always cracks me up.
"Eubank/Benn" Best Two-way Debates Award;
"Sven Ottke" Fighter Favouritism Award;
Option27 for his consistent fanboy approach to Maywetaher. The Golota guy wa spretty extreme but Option is more persisitent with his less than secret love!
"David Haye" We Want To See More From You Next Year Award;
Matt Miller, I always like your comments and feel they are rather insightful. I just wish there were more of them!
"Manny Pacquiao" Poster of the Year Award;
SC-Brickhaus tie.
"Honey i forgot to duck" - Jack Dempsey
Good stuff.
Matt Miller is a good shout for the “Haye”.
No “Eubank/Benn” nomination from you?
That’ll be the only time in my life I am in the same sentence as Jones…. my joint favourite fighter ever. :)
And as for your “Pacquaio”…. watch for splinters!! lol

Thanks for the mention.
I admit I was feeling a little left out up until here. The tagline you mentioned is, as you can see, mine by the way. For my New Years resolution, I vow to double both my comments and my front page posts!
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
you've been MIA for far too long...tsk tsk
although you’ve been pretty busy I imagine. Look forward to reading more of your comments and posts in the New Year dude..

First of all, I have to thank myself, for being too lazy to sign in everytime I visit this site
I pretty much visit everyday (where the hell else am I gonna get a PBP for the Naito Kameda fight?), and I’m honored that people even know who I am. I intend to redouble my efforts in 2010 so that Yuri and I can win the Sven Ottke award.
:)
You’ll have some fierce competition if Golota guy comes back!!

You should probably be glad about that..... :)
He’s beating down the rubber walls of his room as we speak, trying to get online to accept his award…..

Very funny
That was one of them there “lol”s right here!

Alright, I didn’t see these Bad Left Hooker Awards until today. Good names for all of these trophies, too.
"Jorge Barrios" Funniest Poster Award;
This is SC, no question. The sonofabitch bowls a strike every time. Maybe its just my sense of humor.
"Steve Cunningham" Peacekeeping Award;
Brock is a good choice. Completely rational, and very obviously a smart, sensible, stand-up guy. He’s made me feel like a rat more than once. Scott Christ also has a zenlike ability to put out a fire, and it’s not just because he can zap you out of existence on a whim.
"Beibut Shumenov" Newcomer Award;
In addition to the ones mentioned, JC40, MR. BILL, Don in Prov, Franklin Dallas,Goatee, Iron Beach and a bunch of other ESB guys are all on my list. Some of my best boxing conversations over the last few years have been with these guys. It’s a big relief I don’t have to go over to that place to talk to them.
"Bernard Hopkins" Encyclopaedic Knowledge Award;
Me goddammit! No, actually. This easily goes to Midnight Rambler, AKA The Bull, AKA Ted Sares…as you will all soon find discover to your delight and benefit. Sometimes I would get chills when Ted would pull one hundred closet classics out of his ass on a dime. He has the advantage of age, and probably some magic potions of some sort, but there is no historian like him on this site or any other site.
"Roy Jones Jr" Flashy Poster Award;
I’ve seen a lot of guys hit people with punches from outer space. Taco Pal seems like a pretty slippery guy. So does Pop Daniels, who I’ve seen pull the plug on a few guys. lcollins and Zocalo are in the mix too, both with a good pithy, around the back punch.
"Marvelous Marvin Hagler" Best Tag Award;
I’ve seen several good ones, but Brock wins this hands down. He’s not screwing around with his… that’s the real deal. Probably plays a part in what makes him such a good peacebringer too. You read that and it brings you down to earth.
"Eubank/Benn" Best Two-way Debates Award;
I’m an argumentative bastard, so I don’t mind nominating myself for this. The winner is Me versus Golota Guy. No matter what, I could not break that dude! He was like a piece of steel!! Runner up is me versus lcollins, who I’ve wanted to strangle through the computer screen on several occasions, but who I’d also buy a beer if I saw him. I don’t think I argue with Brickhaus a lot, so I’m not sure where that comes from. :) Actually, the wife and I met Brick in person over at Miller’s place, and we didn’t argue once. Of course, that might have been because were all comatose watching the worst PPV of the year.
"Sven Ottke" Fighter Favouritism Award;
This is Option27, hands down. If Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Ghost of Nat Fleischer came down from the heavens and informed him that Floyd Mayweather wasn’t the Greatest Boxer Who Ever Lived… He would shoot ’em! And all their friends, and burn their damn house down. Nobody better shoot.
"David Haye" We Want To See More From You Next Year Award;
Actually, I want to see more of Golota Guy, and find out if he transforms into Adamek Guy. I want to see Matt Miller up in here too, much more. I can throw a rock and hit him over in Brooklyn, but the man can write, and should more.
"Manny Pacquiao" Poster of the Year Award;
This is a tough one, but I am going to go with Zocalo, who’s a damn all around good guy to talk boxing with.
Here’s a few of my own:
“Joe Frazier” Kill the Body and the Head Will Die Award
sonofapsycho, who is a Philly gutpuncher if I’ve ever met one.
“Larry Holmes” I Used to Hate His Guts but Lately I Like The Guy Award:
Chaos100, who is WRONG! WRONG! TERRIBLY WRONG! about Mel Taylor and Tony Margarito, but correct about a lot of other stuff, and seems like a stand up guy.
