And the award for idiot poster of the month goes to Sanchez768!

[Kev]

Let's just remind ourselves of his thread 'Majority of fans and analysts don't know shit about boxing!'

He wrote this

'And it's making me sick to my stomach. Being an avid boxing fan, I'm quite amped up for the Cotto/Pac showdown. What's really irking me is how so many MORONS out there who claim to know anything about boxing, actually beleive that Pac will stop Cotto specifically in the early rounds!!!!

Are you kidding me!? It's bad enough for those who see Pac as a 3-1 favorite but to think he will stop Cotto?!!? Do these so called boxing fans and critics know anything at all about Cotto? Cotto has taken the best shots from Zab and Mosley and was never knocked down (I mention these 2 fighters specifically as they are in the same vicininty in terms of speed as Pac but hit much harder!). Cotto took a pounding from a huge 147lb'r in Marg and STILL wasn't knocked down...that too with possible plaster'd wraps'


Cnsidering the total lack of respect for those who thought Manny would dominate Cotto I think this should enter the Hall of Fame as one of the most spectacular and misconcieved rants on here in a long time

It did seem plausible before the fight.

I think it's a landslide. I saw that guy's post and I didn't even bother to reply it was so out there.

[antimoron]

had to be a Shovel Piece Prize award...

[Dark Lord Al]

Yes i did give him grief at the time of his post , now its all the sweeter.
Like many fanboys , he cant pass a judgement as he sees it only from one point of view.

eg. " Cotto will win , because i like him " lol

I hate any fan boy who thinks that their fighter will win just because they like them... credit goes to Dark Lord Al for calling the guy an idiot BEFORE the fight.

Bilbo, you just come across as a bit of a tosser here... if you were so sure that he's an idiot poster why did you have to wait until after the fight to say so?

You didn't call him an idiot during the time when he wrote the post, only after... not too sure yourself?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I think you need to settle yourself down and give that 24 hour ban button a go until you've calmed yourself...

[jamiebhoy]

The huggers will truly be out in force and then the "real" fans will be left in the main.

Agree with Adam, a problem with a post should be addressed at the time, some do get carried away with their opinions but they are entitled regardless.

Bilbo you have stated that you will support Floyd over Pac as you have supported his opponents in his past few fights, does that mean someone can say you are the biggest idiot poster should Floyd fall short like everyone else seems to.

He was an idiot not for getting it wrong, we have all done that, he was an idiot for creating a thread soley to claim that those who thought Pac would ko Cotto were morons who knew shit about boxing.

If you are going on record to call half the people on this forum morons who know shit, and then are proved spectacularly wrong you deserve to be ridiculed for it.

You guys are totally missing the point here. It's not about who was right and who was wrong, its about the labelling of the majority as 'morons who know shit about boxing' because they believed what actually happened would happen.

Nothing wrong for getting a call wrong, but when you create a thread calling people moronic for thnking a fighter will win by ko, and he does you DESERVE some stick.

As for me being an idiot of Manny beats Floyd..why? I won't be creating a thread saying anyone who thinks Manny will beat Floyd is an idiot and knows shit about boxing, and if I do, and he does win you can certainly call me an idiot.

Bilbo are you trying to tell us , that you are also an idiot ?

[Gandalf]

Bilbo is right. There are means and ways of getting your point across. Sanchez wasn't very subtle in how he went ahead with pressing his agenda and looks a bit silly. There is nothing wrong with messing up a pick, but you can garner a little more respect by conducting yourself with a little decorum. Calling people 'morons' isn't a very funky thing to do.

[AdamGB]

lol no... it isn't nice.

I think the guy took issue with the fact that people were writing Cotto off, ratehr than saying Pac would win.

He was out of line telling informed fans that their pick was 'moronic'... but if you feel so strongly about it that you go out of your way to create a new thread about the guy (rather than just posting in the one he made that you barely said shit in other than basically sitting on the fence) then why wait till after the fight to do it?

Whether Pac or Cotto had won it's out of line to have a go at a large group of fans for having an opinion... so why are we only reading this from Bilbo now?

It's just friendly banter Adam, you call a group of people moronic for having an opinion and they are proven right then you get some stick.

i'm not being malicious, I'm just taking the piss. Isn't part of being a bloke the ability to (and necessity) of having a laugh and a windup?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I think this thread is stupid.
