Dan Rafael...discuss.

[JK1700]

Good point mate, he acts diplomatic with the fighters then when he's behind a keyboard he's insulting. I recall him calling up the Mayweather-Mosley conference call and he was brown nosing Floyd. He will NEVER get to interview him again now.

And he is very biased.

lol. I remember that. It would be okay if he had a reason to act like that. But he doesnt, He just looks at a situation and assumes something happened that he would like to be true. Maybe he does it because he thinks it will give him and ESPN more attention but overall it just makes him look biased when the truth comes out. He acts like an "insider" but really he just believes what he wants to believe.

I get the sense he's abit dumb too. At the Mayweather-Mosley press conference he asked Floyd "Was that the most hurt you have ever been in your pro career?" and Floyd replied "No, DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley and Zab Judah hit me with a better shot than that". About 2 minutes earlier somebody else had asked Floyd the exact same question.

Dan Rafael calls it like it is 90% of the time. Rafael and The Ring's Doug Fisher, along with boxingscene's Jake Donovan and Cliff Rold are the best American boxing writers.

They are more objective and less nationalistic than someone like "Arse" Iole. If a boxer is good, they will recognize him no matter whether he's American or not.

He doesn't have a ****** prejudice against East European boxers like The Ring's Eric Raskin and Bill Dettloff. While they would never write a positive word about a Klitschko performance or about someone like Pirog or Dzinziruk, Rafael is above such ignorance and gives credit where it is due.

I like your posts, for the most part. But the problem with you is that if a writer says something, anything, negative about one of the fighters you mentioned, even ONE time, you label them. You're only happy when writers are praising the fighters you like 100% of the time.

For the *****s here, anybody who as much critic floyd is a "dumbass" who "hates" their love-one the fraud floyd.

You have to ass-lick floyd, like them, to be called objective.

I'm not surprised at all as they have brains as big as floyd's nuts.

Damn, man. Do you know how ****** you sound? You can't possibly re-read that immature nonsense and think "yeah, I really told them".

Grow up.

I don't have a problem with Rafael per se....but it just seems hypocritical to me when he wishes for an American heavyweight that's "in shape" when he himself can barely do a jumping jack.

I like dan,He just keeps it real.He favors no promoters or fighters unlike
other writers.

dumbest post in the thread, so far

Damn man, i don't care if it sound so ****** to you but to tell you the truth i could make it sound more idiotic really and it still would hit home.

You wouldn't be quoting me if you had grown up too...just a thought.
