Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Manager Gets Court Order To Stop Huck's Talk

Wouldn't surprise me if Boente did plan it without Vitali's knowledge. He's obviously failed to tell Vitali that Haye agreed to all his terms too.

Saying "I think" is ridiculous, otherwise the whole body of law is useless as you can simply prefix every potentially defamatory statement with "I think". You wouldn't like it if someone said you engaged in prohibited activities with children but simply said "I think" before it making it legal.

Just summarizes my point perfectly. IMO the lawsuit wasn't necessary, as no one takes frikkin' Huck seriously anyway, but if Boente thinks it damages his reputation when he has done nothing wrong, then he has the right to go to court.

It probably won't go anywhere. But you can voice an opinion, so long as you back it up, otherwise it's potentially defamatory.

Boente's a ****. But that doesn't mean you can go around saying statements which can potentially damage his standing without proof. And if Huck had proof he should have said how he knows the incident was staged instead of dropping a hint and not going anywhere with it.

If you back an opinion up its no longer an opinion, its a fact. Me personally, I could give two ****s what anyone says. If you haven't done anything wrong that all that needs to be said. You know why? Because people with no proof are only looking for a reaction. Nobody has taken Huck seriously about this. By filing a restraining order though it not only gives the appearance of (not in my mind) wrong doing, but it keeps Huck's name relevant which is what he wants.

Stating " I believe" makes it an opinion. If he had said "I can prove" it becomes an unsubstantiated allegation if not backed up. You should learn the differentce. And filing the lawsuit isn't what I was comparing to **** Germany. The comparison is if people are no longer allowed to voice their opinions.

If you think you're right about this how about a wager? Ill bet this frivolous lawsuit goes nowhere. If I win you put my avatar as your own for a month. If I lose I'll give you half my points. We on?

What a b!tch move

Going to court to bring a restraining order into effect against someone has nothing to with 1941 Germany, it's more of an American tradition. And claiming the weigh-in slap (which was actually fined with 50,000 $) is Boente's fault without backing it up with any evidence surely doesn't fall under "stating your opinion", it's speculative accusation.

"I believe Chisora slapped Vitaly at the instigation of Boente". THAT is an opinion! The consensus is Boente is acting like a jilted school girl. And if opinions are no longer allowed in Germany than today has something very in common with 1941 Germany, doesn't it? Dope.

Stating false allegations is not the same as voicing your opinions about something. And how very civilized of you to throw in the "**** card".

Germany doesn't allow people to voice their opinions anymore? Didn't realize we were living in 1941 again. Sad.
