What you are basically saying is that if you do not agree with me you are a worthless idiot. You did the same thing with the Zimmerman case. To you it seemingly matters not what other people think or how qualified they are to comment on things, how relevant their experience or what motivates them to form and express an opinion they have, All that matters is that your opinions are supposedly based on flawless logic formulated by an esteemed and untouchable special kind of genius that renders all other arguments as worthless. People that utterly and completely 100% sure on any given subject are nearly always mistaken. That of course is just my opinion.
No, what I'm saying is if you form an opinion based of fallacies and ignore all contradicting evidence, you're an idiot. Has nothing to do with whether or not you agree with me. I see posts every day that I don't agree with, but I don't think are idiotic.

I'm not infallible and I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong on something, but that comes from someone posting something of substance to contradict me. All you're doing is misquoting me, setting up straw man arguments and accusing me of being "emotional", like that's supposed to legitimize your opinion. It's nonsense. You have nothing to offer intellectually to this conversation. Just accuse me of being a bully and back out.
I agree if you form the opinion based on fallacies and ignore all contradictory evidence then you are indeed making yourself seem like quite the idiot. The idea that people involved with boxing on a day to day basis for most of their working life must be wrong because you have decided that any body not putting Mayweather in the top ten of all time greats is stupid and has nothing to offer, is both supremely arrogant and dumb on your part. Much like the red herring that is your straw man argument, you are yourself ignoring the actual issue and just deflecting any real attempt at discussion by questioning the intellectual legitimacy of my reply. You must entertain the possibility that there are posters on this forum that actually do not rate Mayweather as being worthy of making their all time top ten who actually do have a valid opinion and could well be more knowledgeable and experienced than yourself. I apologise if you think I have misquoted you even once but I am pretty sure I am not mistaken that you yourself said


"If you don't think Mayweather is a top 10 ATG, you're opinion on anything boxing related is absolutely worthless."

If that is your opinion then fair enough, but don't mistake it for a fact.
