    Mars - there is no reason to get wound up over Miles. Humor me and allow me to give my deconstruction of Miles. Understand that Miles likes nothing more than a good controversy. The man thrives on it especially when the favorite gets the nod. Examples of Miles upset at scoring in fights are a plenty and too numerous to count. For example, he was angry about Marlon White and the Andrade/Bute ending. More recently, he was angry about Macklin and Sturm. What I can't recall is Miles scoring a close fight with the favorite. Similiarly, I recall he frequently berated Floyd for retiring rather than face Cotto or Margarito and facing Hatton when Cotto and Margarito were out there. He also has been outspoken against Manny for balking at the drug tests. Consequently, to be fair to Miles, he is consistent in that he is outspoken against what he perceives to be injustice in boxing regardless of the boxer (e.g. he is neither Flomo nor Pactard). In addition, like I believe myself to be most of the time, he is a constant supporter of the underdog. On another note, when it comes to boxing (b/c outside of boxing he has been known to spew the occasional anti-semitic slur) something I like about his views is that he doesn't seem to hold much ethnic bias like VD (Mexican fighters) or Erics44 (British fighters) or Brockton (Italian fighers). At the end of the day, Es Lo Que Hay.

    Trust me Rant-cat, I already know what an argumentative "cunt" miles is, so he's not winding me up in the least.
    Guys like miles, however cuntlike they are, make the forum a fun place to come to, plus miles' bitching is always done respectfully...

    I am who I am so you can go fuck yourself if you disagree. My fighters are all at the end and that is why it is always the underdog. It isn't really about supporting the underdog, though I thought that post was pretty well thought through. Good read.

    Fair play. I wasn't trying to be a prick.

    No, I enjoyed your summary, it was very entertaining. I see the pattern, but I disagree with the conclusion.
