    3. you can even go so far as to verify that he has reported on fights that he hasn't even watched from time to time with JMM vs John being the most famous

    you like fine I care less really but stop catching feelings over a guy who gives **** #1 about you and really isn't what you make him out to be
    Exactly. Remember the when BoxingScene broke the news of the Super Six tourney and Dan appeared on Fight Camp with a smile on his fat face taking all the credit for breaking the news. Btw when I read Dans notebook it's week old information I have read from someone like the guys at BS or Maxboxing. Shit, you eaner barely report but when you do its more straight to the source quality writing.

      My response to your comments by number, as the good man Dougie Fischer does regularly does:

      1) As a boxing writer, if there is another writer who breaks news before you, does that mean that you shouldn't mention the news at all? That doesn't make sense because a fight fan may only be following your news (say, on Twitter.) Dan is a boxing writer, and his job is to report on news as soon as he has his hands on it.

      2) Steve and Doug are always at the gym, which is wonderful. However, have they ever traveled outside of California to do a "gym notes" article. I don't think so. They have the luxury of living and working in California, where a lot of fighters train and live. They work hard, but to say that Dan doesn't work hard is ignorant. His chat today was 3 1/2 hours. He doesn't have to do that at all. He can do a weekly mailbag, which would take considerably less time.

      3) I can recall him mentioning JMM/John, but I never heard him "report" on it as you say. Please provide proof of what you are saying.

      I am a fan of his, and I'll defend him when two idiots call him "fat." I could care less if you don't agree with that.

        Shane Mosley isn't aware of my existence.

        On a much bigger note, Mahatma Gandhi isn't aware of my existence.

        Does that mean that I shouldn't defend them when someone attacks them without any good reason?

              Okay, so you are saying that Dan should have had a glum face on because he wasn't the first to break the news of the Super Six?

              As a boxing writer, should he have not said anything about it because he wasn't the first to know?

              How does a smile translate into "taking credit"?

              Please answer these questions.

                Calling someone "fat" is a verbal attack. Why don't you post your picture, so I can make fun of you?

                I'm just trying to show everyone how ignorant you are. I think I'm doing pretty well...

                  Thanks man appreciate the good vibe

                  I am going to start writing a bit more and me and a couple other bscene guys (Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton) are starting up bscenes radio show in the next few weeks so I will be more active on the reporting side in addition to my Everlast gig

                    You are like many users on this website.

                    You can say something, but you can't back it up.

                    People also have better things to do than to call someone "fat."

                    I wanted to prove that you were an ignorant fool. Mission accomplished.
