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.

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?

[mad_takamura]

lesson of the story, don't jump in to conclusions when your nuthugging heart is overtaking your brain!

[Dizaster]

I love this thread!! I even said in the chat window during the fight "I can't wait to go back into that thread where someone said people were morons and knew nothing about boxing if they thought Pac couldn't take out Cotto"...


He had to knock downs by round 5, and by round 8 was fighting entirely on his terms....

Cotto is a warrior and has a huge heart, but Pac had his number....


Just it's a pretty bold statement to make of the P4P number ONE fighter on the PLANET, to say they can't take a fighter out who they are legitimately getting in the ring with and have most odd's on their side...

If this scenario was completely unfathomable to this poster to the point where he thinks anyone is a total moron for picturing it and thinking it might actually happen, then that proves how little they know about boxing..

So EPIC FAIL of a thread!!


BUT, respect to anyone on this site, we all f'k up and learn from our mistakes. Everyone boxing fan learns at some point that whenever you stick your neck out to confidently, it will get hacked off... Boxing is full of surprises and nothing is a certainty... And not many predictions are truely stupid or make you a moron, but eliminating an entire scenario is where the stupidity lies.. Anything can happen.. And when you are discounting the P4P number on in the world, you are heading for a fall...

Hope you stay around though buddy and I will send some reps your way anyway..

Exactly mate its just a fun thread, no need to take things so seriously.

He should get some stick, and we will make sure he does

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I'm keeping the main board clear of personal attacks and bullshit.

Also Bilbo, you know you posted the thread about Sanchez being an idiot twice?

Bilbo ,Gentlemen, What ever he posts from now on you can just cut and paste his original comment under it as a quote.

That way he has to eat his own mud pie continually.

Actually he will probably leave, if you all do that.

Hmm Maybe a slower torture routine is more applicable.
