Does anyone remember when Dan Rafael got into a twitter war with Shannon Briggs about something? No idea what started it, but at some point Rafael tweeted something along the lines of "I wish you'd gone 5 more rounds with Vitali". This was said to a guy who had just taken the biggest ass whopping I'd seen in years, by a morbidly obese cunt who couldn't go 1 round with a heavy bag, yet makes his living off of the sport. He's a complete disgrace for that alone imo.
I don't recall that, but if so that is pretty outrageous. On a forum you can say silly things sometimes as a forum is typically all opinion, interpretation and bluster, but as a 'professional journalist' you just can't/shouldn't do that. It's akin to O'Reilly on Fox telling all of his guests to 'Shut up'. You should be sacked for that shit as you are supposedly the superior example to boxing fans being a 'journalist'. He is a hack and as you point out not a figure of health himself. When a whale is telling James Toney he is out of shape, I do find that to be mildly ironic to say the least. Sure Dan, and wipe that burger fat and ketchup blend off your beard! Tosser.
I didn't like the way Teddy Atlas was being unfairly negative and giving no credit to Fonfara tonight.
Atlas is unprofessional in the way he always openly roots for one boxer or the other.
It was fitting when Fonfara won by KO, after Teddy was saying all night how Campillo was going to knock him out.
I read Dan Rafael every week, not for his opinion, but because he provides facts and figures in his reports that interest me - purses, ticket sales, viewing figures, actual quotes, etc.
World of difference between a journalist and someone that writes opinion pieces for a site.
I dont get why Teddy Atlas gets hated on so much.Quote:

I have never liked Colin Hart since he did the commentary on radio of Leonard v Hearns 2 and when fans booed the decision of a draw and he said he could not understand their reaction. He had his head up Leonard's ass.
That tam Seddon who sometimes posts articles on saddoboxing is awful.
Yes can never make up his mind and sits on the fence way too much.Quote:

But why on earth does he get the Vegas trips on expenses? Man's an idiot.

I've got the DVD of the NC between Arce vs Rojas and the post fight interview is Max at his super serious worst. Novas says Arce threw in towel then Max mumbles "if that's a coward I'd hate to see a champion" then rotates his whole body at once towards Arce like a douchebag cyborg.
Jim Gray. You can ask tough questions without going out of your way to be confrontational. It's a miracle Gray hasn't been punched or thrown out of a ring with the way he conducts himself sometimes.
completely agree and cosign 100%Quote:
