Dan Rafael on "Boxing in 2016"

[FeFist]

Gat Dan needs to shut the **** up. Boxing is more than the people at yhe top.

Plenty of fighters over the world are putting work. As a reporter, he could do more to elevate boxing at a grass root level but his main concern is leeching off of the fame of known fighters.

Read it yesterday ; as usual with Rafeal it was a Garbage article

Just a bunch of fat man tears complaining about the sport

Guys on the biggest platform and Cardiac Dan instead of promoting it he spends most of his time degrading fighters and being critical of the sport en****** unless he's on their payroll

What does listing a couple of rigged awards have to do with Dan Rafael being a horrible reporter? You suck up to the right people you're going to win your fair share of rewards in a crooked sport like boxing.

... this is how journalists usually behave... so, no surprise...

IMO,

if you're a fat tub of lard,

you cant complain about sports.

that's just a personal rule of mine.

i agree with dab rafatael, boxing has ****** in 2016, but he cant complain.

he's fat.

Lol. Tub of lard? Dude that's mean. More like a pool

I'm talking about Promoters who he aligns with not his employee ESPN

Look critically at this heaping pile of trash that your praising

Cardiac rides Gennady so hard I half expect him to be The poster BigDramaShow on the DL . He sh.its on Golden Boy ( Kind of agree ) then goes on the attack of Jacobs & Haymon, when he has no idea of negotiations taking place and never being critical of Gennady , crying that because of Haymon he cost him 3 fights this year

In that same article he takes about another 4 negative swipes at Haymon & PBC about their inactivity( which is true ) but never mentioning TR& GB roster inactivity ( Bradley,Rios, Walters, Matthysse,Ramerez, Postol and so on ) and takin shots at Andre Ward & and Billy Joe Saunders

complaining about catch weights as a reason not being able to make fights and praises Brook for making the Gennady fight( a fight that could potentially ruin his career ). So trying to make it a levelish playing field isn't cool but having no regard for fighters safety and having the bigger guys(Canelo&Gennady) purge little guys ( Khan & Brook) is cool now. Like seriously WTF, why even have weight classes at all.

Actually the more I Think about it the worse this whole article is, such garbage a shame that fans like you thinks this is good journalism

Read the article last night. Pretty spot on.


2016 was shit, at least we are closing the year out good

[Lester Tutor]

Isn't Fat Dan expelled from PBC events?

[R-C]

... you would have been right if it only was an opinion... but it was a factual recap -- with practically nobody left aside.

At the end of the day, GGG fans feel that he had a great year, PBC fans feels that they had a great year, GB fans feel that they had a great year. All fans complain are bias and don't see the big picture. so, yeah it's just an opinion to me.
