How so? Xadu's posts were a homily to his favourite fighter. Mine are venting about my second most loathed fighter, completely opposite direction, you see?
Anyway he did ok, in fact I'd pick him against any fighter from that first series of the Contender now.

Both are one-dimensional trolling. If a new poster came here and did that shit, they would end up banned pretty quickly. I come here to read about and discuss boxing and fighters, not read through a thread which is half made up of trolling.

Calzaghe got stick for Manfredo, so Bute deserves his stick for not having meaningful fights too.
Bute is possibly very good, but it's hard to tell against these kind of mandatories and Kessler and Pavlik leftovers.
Thing is, Brinkley fought his way to earn this title shot, it was his time, his payday. Bute is simply staying busy fighting a mandatory. Bute's options are out of his control right now.

Bute has got to fight Kessler or Pavlik next.
I'm not even a huge fan of his, I was cheering against him in both Andrade fights, but I think he's probably the 2nd best SMW right now. He just needs to step up and prove it.

wtf? I've made a couple of clearly light hearted remarks about him dominating a smaller journeyman fighter who did 'ok' in a reality show.
Are we operating a non criticism of any fighters policy now or is it just because he's the most significant Canadian export since William Shatner?

Tarver is just teeing off on this heavyweight. Damn good shots!

That's the problem with a multiple-year tournament like the Super 6. Bute needs to start fighting the guys who have dropped out though if they become available. I'd also like to see him fight Pascal.

Still not a particularly meaningful fight though, especially considering the depth that SMW has, but for sure that's not all completely down to Bute. All I am saying though is that on this fight Bilbo has a fair point. I've not read through all the threads today, so have a feeling Bilbo might have been winding up people elsewhere, but I haven't seen much trolling in this particular instance.

Aside from posting how great the Kindle is I've not made any other contributions to the forum this week. I expect Josh has run out of Newcastle Brown Ale.

:rolleyes:
Him being Canadian (he's from Romania originally) has nothing to do with anything. All you're doing is posting the same regurgitated garbage which contributes nothing to any conversation about the fight or the fighters involved in order to get a rise out of people. That is the definition of trolling.

Me too, Pascal would be a good fight. Nobody would have any complaints about that.

I'm just trying to have a laugh with you guys is all. Damn, tough crowd tonight.
Anyways, I'm out, it's nearly 6am here and I want to have a quick tug before I go to bed.
Later my grumpy Canuck friend.
