Was he slurring here? I don't think so. Certainly no more than your average American who cannot even produce sentences or define the word liberal or walk. We have a few here and they even slur in their text. As for Fat Dan, that is my issue, not someone like Toney.

Toney actually fights, so of course I like the man. As for your other derogatory stuff about Toney, let's see first. You are not a member, so go away. We don't like you here, Tito. Go away to your place and join in the alliance when you see sense.

This is an older mans club. We don't want stopped fighters like Cotto. We are hardcore, we are JFAT, no stoppages here. Bugger off with that take a knee nonsense. We don't like it. Go away.


Always good to get a reaction out of you, miles.

And no... I'm definitely not JFAT or anything resembling it. If anything, I'm fascinated with the obsession over a former middleweight, who ate everything in sight on his way to becoming a clownish heavyweight. IMO, he's a disgrace to boxing as a sport. If he truly likes MMA, he should just jump the fence (well... maybe walk around it ) and stay there. And yes, he slurs... not that he has anything useful to say.

When I said you were a skinny, proper, white Englishman... I forgot to mention that you are in the academic field. And from your posting history, it's obvious that you like all things intellectual. So even more puzzling then, is your fascination with a boxer who can barely utter his own name. Boxers used to be categorized as dumb, back in the day. But nowadays you have some very well educated and articulate boxers, who can speak in perfectly enunciated sentences.

It's kinda like Fay Wray's fascination with King Kong.
