I know this is off topic, but why the hell did you give me bad karmas anorak? for saying calzaghe hasn't beat anyone of significance?
He beat an old washed up Eubank and that was it. Do you give everyone bad karma that dosn't see things your way?

Dirt E Gomez and other cool people can always refer to themselves in the 3rd person if they wish.

... what the **** is all that about?

At least when Audley Harrison does it ("Audley Harrison will be world champ") you can laugh at him. But often it's just plain embarrassing.

This thread sucks, Anoraks a ****ing idiot!!

i think it is a marketing scheme. like athletes in general do it, i think that their Publicist tellls them to do that. who in the world refers to themselves in the 3rd person in real life everyday conversation, nobody, unless you're a complete jackolope!

hmm

Talking in 3rd person is a silly reason to hate on someone. Childisn really. In fact, most times it's just one of many lame excuses for someone to justify why they've been hating on a particular fighter.

This is 2005, and athletes talk in 3rd person. Even the not-so-good ones. Just gonna have to get used to it.

I love it actually. I find it rather humorous. It makes for some good interviews. Especially when more then one person is doing it while talking to each other. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode with Jimmy.
