Your favourite NSB strawman argument?

[Guest]

A lot of people in here (usually the ones that >average IQ) love their strawman arguments.

I always laugh when I get some bull**** like "You didn't like Taylor's fite against spink's? lamo, ur from uk, i bet dat u think hatten cud beat a prime tyson, lamo, pwn!" You see the logical jump there? No, I don't either.

A good one I had the other day was when I suggested that Roy Jones of 2008 wouldn't be a threat to The Blow, just a name, what with him being severely declined in ability/speed/punch resistance, etc. So naturally, "ur sayen dat peter manfredo is a beta boxer dan roy jone's, lamo, pwn!" Actually, I didn't even MENTION Manfredo (a joke opponent for a joke fight) but you get the idea.

However, my favourite ever came a couple of weeks back. Simply put, it was this: "I bet you're a closet **** who supported Hitler." WTF?

"Americans who prefer Hopkins to Calzaghe are always using expressions like 'pwn' or 'lolz'."

Have you checked the calendar, chief ?

"Vitali never really lost a fight"

Dude, you're getting REALLY boring. Can you post something that doesn't litter a thread with Vitali posts? I mean, the ****'s been TKO'd for three years by Danny Williams, let the guy rest in peace.

And Jabs - ALL Americans say pwn. Daily.

"Mayweather-Castillo was a bigger robbery than Ottke-Reid, Forrest-Quartey, Whitaker-Chavez and Jones at the '88 Olympics."

To be fair,slag, that ain't a strawman argument, is it?

I'll give you a free pass seeing as you're an American and all, you can't help it.

Apparently because I have occasionally reffered to PBF as GAYweather, I completely ignore his boxing skills and focus on the fact that I dont like his attitude, despite having said on NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, a fair few in that same thread, that I believe Floyd to be one of this generations very best.
