Richard-

I have nothing against Cox. And, I was wondering why the thread was left on the board in the first place.

Regarding arguing, i have no idea how old my 'opponent' is. I was merely having a little banter.

Having trouble with that function right now.

I Saw in the Championship inured his leg.

furches also defeated cox at kids folkstyle state championship

so who comes on top between Hansen and Cox........ but wait whats with the change in weight class between them

The issue here is sportsmanship not who beat who. Trent does have great skills as a wrestler, but when you display that kind of unsportsmanship it is not toughness or 'badness'. It's a lack of maturity that will taint his career until he overcomes it. Williams was tough enough enough to finish his match-Trent was not.

A couple of things, first, if you attended some of these tournaments you would know before making these kind of comments. To say that Nathan won on a "questionable" call takes away from everything else he did in that match. They split 3-2 in 5 matches last year and in 4 of those matches it came down to the last 30 seconds. These two have gone back and forth for at least 8 years, depending on how well you know Trent or Terry, you would know that.

Now my comments, Trent Cox is a class young man, he is aggressive and a tough competitor, I have said for several years, and no offense to any single wrestler in this state of which there are many great ones, Trent is one of the best, and one of the most underrated wrestlers in the nation, period! I do agree on the fact that I would take Trent on a team of mine any day of the week.

On the slam issue, no wrestler is immune from the possiblity of this happening. I don't know what happend at this tournament but I do know Trent, more than just typing a few words on a forum. I also have all of the respect in the world for Paulie, and on the issue of slamming, some would know that the last thing I would do is judge a wrestler because of a slam. Again, on anything else I can't comment because I wasn't there. I know that Terry or the family don't read these boards, so maybe if someone wants to share their opinion about Trent, it would be good to contact them personally.

Its obvious he's in high school genious, his name is neverstop 08

The word is spelled "genius". The twisted irony of trying to 'slam' someone else's intelligence while misspelling a word which represents intelligence. . . Opps.

I didn't pay any attention to his screen name. I was just dealing with his silly thoughts. Had i paid attention to his screen name i might have thought that "08" was in reference to his I.Q.

;-)

well dr.welsh? you are a doctor right? You are soooo good at picking out everyones grammtical errors. You have such awesome skills to pick out these lttle flaws in people's posts, that you don't notice the fact that your belittling boys, young boys. Your refering to his I.Q. to a newborn baby's. Great job, hope you feel like a big man when your in bed at night reading the dictionary.

Thank You very much Dr. Welsh

My brother is Dr. Welsh. I'm just a school teacher (of course he never could have became a medical doctor without us teachers!).

If i belittled anyone, I apologize. That was not my intent. I am sure that I can benefit from being more sensitive. I'm equally sure that others could benefit from having a little thicker skin AND learn how to 'take it', as well as 'dish it out.' If you are going to dish it out, then you should expect a little back.

And, yes, I read every night but thankfully not the dictionary. I find it rather bland. However, it does come in quite handy if one is not sure of the spelling or meaning of a word. You might try it some time! ;-)

Again, it was not by intent to belittle anyone. My intent was to participate in a discussion on wrestling. However, human nature being what it is, rabbit trails come up.

Hop, hop, hop.

a Slam in my opinion is not unsportmanlike unless it was intentional. it is all the other little things like starting fights, nice little elbows, talkin back to refs. I dont think anyone questions his wrestling ablility but some of the little things I think some people chooses to over look because he is "Trent Cox" He is a kids just like all the other athletes and athletes should help foster the idea that its not always what u do (win or lose) but how u do it!!! Now thats what comes into question.

ok that was pretty well said. i'm done writting on this forum, because that was so true.

Hey, Gator - we agree for once! ;-)

My statement "I believe Furches defeated Cox in Garden City on a questionable officiating call." was based on the following statement made on January 29, 2006.


If I misinterpreted your statement I apologize.

Congratulations to Nathan on his 2007 Newton TOC Championship.

thank you

Has Trent Cox ever wrestled Colt Rogers before? If so how long ago? Seeing Colt wrestle recently I bet that would be a good match.
