Vanes Shreds Fat Dan For His Tweets

I wonder what the excuse will be next. They might just keep deluding themselves and keep waiting for Canelo while the belts disappear one by one. I say move on. Yeah it’s a big money fight but I’d rather him unify then defend against the biggest threat or give Jacobs that rematch

I don't like Dan, but Dan is right even as a GGG fan I can't really see how fight Vanes is a good one... We have Derev asking for the fight and also Andrade, so can we get some notice as to what is happening here with those two names? Those two guys should be way ahead of Vanes, but If you can't get either then sure... SURE go ahead and fight Vanes, but only because it seems like there is nobody else to get in such short notice.

:lol1::lol1:

Yeah I know I agree. Then fawking ggg chooses to fight a fawking jr mw this is crap I wonder what the excuse will be next. They might just keep deluding themselves and keep waiting for Canelo while the belts disappear one by one.

Thanks for responding. So, basically, there is no rematch anymore. Cool. The first one wasn't that good anyway. Yeah I know I agree. Then fawking ggg chooses to fight a fawking jr mw this is crap

The rematch that was set until conelo decided to purposely get caught cheating and now with his fake knee surgery he is so scared of an old plodder ggg that we will go out of his way not to fight him. A guy at ESPN said to Marcellus Wiley that his source in the canelo camp told him conelo is scared to fight ggg. Max Kellerman said it himself too. It’s obvious man Thanks for responding.

WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders lets loose on ESPN’s lead boxing reporter Dan Rafael after the journalist says the Englishman ran from fighters. Journalists and fighters having a difference of opinion is not uncommon in a sport as internationally diverse as boxing, where fighters from different countries are often involved in negotiations for cross-Atlantic bouts that frequently fall through. ESPN’s highly respected boxing journalist Dan Rafael took to twitter this week to break the story that Saunders is now off the upcoming Canelo vs Smith show in Texas, which prompted Saunders to get in touch with the American boxing writer: danrafaelespn@GoldenBoyBoxing fat boy don’t talk sh*t ??! — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016 To which Rafael replied: Saunders ran from GGG and now he’s turning down all his victims too (Stevens, Rosado, Monroe). lol — Dan Rafael danrafaelespn) August 11, 2016 What then ensued from Saunders was, well, this: danrafaelespn ok bring me your mother you fat c*nt and I’ll bend the slag over ) you talk a lot but you need to get of your fat ass — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016 danrafaelespn and get some of that flap off you fat Grease Pig ?? — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016 danrafaelespn you put me in the mind of a paedophile hw can you talk boxing ? and all your middleweight boxers in US are Bums! — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016 danrafaelespn get a statement of golden boy why I’m not on the bill! But plz sort your over sized fat head out you Paedophile — billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016 There’s always been a healthy rivalry between US and UK boxing, but the above takes things to a new level at least in terms of UK fighters calling out US journalists and vice versa.

While I am all for GGG-Vanes, Fat Dan is a journalist and is supposed to write the facts. Those are facts.

Tbh not even the worst troll here says anything that matters. This man has the platform and he spurns it. He should be embarrassed about the disrespect he shows at times. agreed...but not really in this case. maybe he shoulda worded it differently, but there's many opponents ggg should be trying to fight before this guy. if anything dan shoulda said shame on k2/team ggg.

that's what I was thinking. everything he tweeted has been posted here numerous times. Tbh not even the worst troll here says anything that matters. This man has the platform and he spurns it. He should be embarrassed about the disrespect he shows at times.

Dan is right. Vanes is trash anyway C/D level fighter at best. Hasnt fought in 2 years coming off a loss he doesnt deserve the GGG fight. Vanes is just butthurt.

I don't see anything wrong with his tweet. That's exactly what 99% of the boxingscene's members feel about Vanes get the opportunity to fight GGG. that's what I was thinking. everything he tweeted has been posted here numerous times.

I bristle at a lot of what Fat Dan says. It's a different kind of sport. You have to have some reverence for the participants. And it does make it worse that he looks so fat and weak. The man looks like the lead singer of The Mavericks after he ate the rest of the band and their instruments.

lmaoooooooo the hot dogs tho!!!!!!!!

Fat Dan ain't a likable guy, he's a fanboy writer and he's wrong way more than he's right, but this time he's 100% correct. Sorry Vanes, but the truth hurts.

He's not lying this time but Fat Dan has always been an unprofessional, disrespectful troll in general. How ESPN hasn't fired him or a fighter hasn't put hands on him yet is beyond me.

What rematch? Any sources where Canelo himself said that after the cancellation? The rematch that was set until conelo decided to purposely get caught cheating and now with his fake knee surgery he is so scared of an old plodder ggg that we will go out of his way not to fight him. A guy at ESPN said to Marcellus Wiley that his source in the canelo camp told him conelo is scared to fight ggg. Max Kellerman said it himself too. It’s obvious man

fat dan may be right but still he is sh*tting on another man tryin to get a big pay day putting bread on the table by risking his life fighting

Everybody saying Fat Dan is correct. I agree. But my thing is how does an obese man who calls a professional boxer "sewage" become the ONLY voice and ambassador for the sport on the biggest platform possible which is ESPN. Read the things I posted he said about Shannon Briggs. I'm very surprised none of these boxers have flattened him on sight. Maybe its because boxing is such a niche sport ESPN doesn't even care their main boxing writer is a classless disrespectful tub of grease. And another thing about Fat Dan is that he can't take criticism in return. He is very sensitive and demands apologies when somebody attacks him in like fashion. He even block Rigondeaux on twitter cuz Rigo responded to Fat Dan's attacks towards him. When Al Haymon specifically banned Fat Dan from attending a PBC press conference the fat boy took that as disrespect and requested "professional courtesy" from Haymon. A guy that calls fighters "sewage" and made a joke about boxers with brain damage cannot turn around and demand courtesy from anybody. You guys are missing the point. It's not about him being right is that this tub of butter is not qualified to be the biggest voice for boxing on the largest sporting platform. Great Post Deserves a Slow clap
