Do we judge fighters too much by words ascribed to them rather than heard directly?

Nothing about my post was stupid, i just repeated what Amir Khan said. So call him an imbecile im not the one that come out with it, i just found it a bit of bizarre comment. And i haven't seen the footage in sometime. But i don't remember it being a playful comment, thats why many people went off about it on this forum.

You can disagree with me, but calling me an imbecile is pretty disrespectful on your part. Just because in the last few months, you've been on the Amir Khan bandwagon, doesn't mean if someone comes out with any negative comment about him, it gives you right to say that.

As for Checkers what the hell has that got to do, with anything ? have i ever said i could beat the best players in the world ? no i haven't but was i good at it ? yes i was and thats not blowing my own trumpet either. You've played me and you know my skill level, and we can play again anytime at a fast timer if you want.

You claimed you were Grandmaster level Ice, I can find the post if you'd like.

By claiming that then YES you ARE claiming you can beat the best players in the world.

But no I didn't think you were arrogant because I just took it to be a playful remark, not to be taken literally.

My point, which is clearly lost on you, (and hence why I am unable to retract the accusation of imbecile) is that if you can claim to be grandmaster level in checkers and for it not to be meant as a literal statement of fact then why should Amir's statement that he could give Floyd Mayweather a good run in a four round be taken as him calling out Floyd?

From now on Ice I'm afraid I am always going to think of you as arrogant because you claimed to be able to beat grandmasters at checkers.

Lol I'm sorry ICB, but he's got you there.

To be honest im not even sure what were discussing, or arguing about. I was good at checkers not the best in the world, nowhere near it. But i did get 2100s+ rating which is master level, but many people can get that rating. Its not like its a super hard game, its just memorizing losses and shots, and openings which is pretty easy to learn.

If i did say grandmaster then i was clearly being sarcastic, but i would say i was master level. But again thats nothing to do with Amir Khan and its completely irrelvant. And just because i was being sarcastic, doesn't mean Amir Khan was and from my memory it didn't sound like it. Again i don't really see what your trying to prove here.

I don't really care if you don't, retract it or not Bilbo. Your just being insulting end of. And all your doing is further making this more into an argument, i could of said plenty of things to you. But im just keeping this about a debate.

Secondly thats not even the samething Bilbo, and all your doing is twisting this around into someother kind of irrelvant nonsense. Which i don't even know what the hell your on about, i never said he was calling Floyd Mayweather Jr out. All i said was that i found that comment to be bizarre, and a bit ridiculous which is why. Alot of people went off about on this forum.

But according to your logic, they are imbeciles if they think that way. Which i find to be an absolute joke and ridiculous, when many people have thought your comments about Amir Khan. Have been ridiculous so should i call you an imbecile ? no its all about different opinions.

Lastly all i said was that i found that comment to be a bit bizarre, and ridiculous never did i say he was calling him out. And as i've said many times alot of people went off about it on this forum, but because i said that comment i've been called an imbecile. And your trying to mock me, on the main board. In future i won't reply to your Amir Khan threads end of discussion.
