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.
