Dan Rafael is the primary columnist for ESPN.com's boxing coverage. Recently, he has become both insufferably arrogant and just plain wrong. Today's chat brings us, yet another, example:
Melinda: Butte,MT: If Mayweather/DelaHoya II happens, then Floyd should be stripped of his #1 pound-for-pound status. He will not only have fought none of the elite(Cotto,Williams,Margarito) in his divison, but he will be fighting no one that will prove that hes still the pound-for-pound king. At least we have Pacquiao/Marquez II which makes a hell of alot more sense then Mayweather/DelaHoya II.
Dan Rafael: Apparently, the air is in Butte. Get real.
What is the point of this answer Dan. Melinda made a point. You can agree with or disagree with it. You can even go as far as giving reasons for your agreement or disagreement. For instance: "PBF will stay #1 until he loses" is an acceptable answer. "Right now, PBF is too well established in that position to be removed for NOT fighting someone" is acceptable. What is not acceptable is what you have done, Dan. Because what you have done is nothing.
the air is in Butte. That's the answer? Did you even read the question? What does that even mean? Is that a drug reference without referencing any drugs? Can you do that? Also, "get real"? Who says that? What is he nine years old? Get real? No, you get real Dan.
