Vanes Shreds Fat Dan For His Tweets

[ruedboy]

Fat Dan ain't a likable guy, he's a fanboy writer and he's wrong way more than he's right, but this time he's 100% correct. Sorry Vanes, but the truth hurts.

I bristle at a lot of what Fat Dan says.

It's a different kind of sport. You have to have some reverence for the participants. And it does make it worse that he looks so fat and weak.

The man looks like the lead singer of The Mavericks after he ate the rest of the band and their instruments.

I don't see anything wrong with his tweet. That's exactly what 99% of the boxingscene's members feel about Vanes get the opportunity to fight GGG.

that's what I was thinking. everything he tweeted has been posted here numerous times.

Dan is right. Vanes is trash anyway C/D level fighter at best. Hasnt fought in 2 years coming off a loss he doesnt deserve the GGG fight. Vanes is just butthurt.

Tbh not even the worst troll here says anything that matters. This man has the platform and he spurns it.

He should be embarrassed about the disrespect he shows at times.

agreed...but not really in this case. maybe he shoulda worded it differently, but there's many opponents ggg should be trying to fight before this guy. if anything dan shoulda said shame on k2/team ggg.

While I am all for GGG-Vanes, Fat Dan is a journalist and is supposed to write the facts. Those are facts.

WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders lets loose on ESPN’s lead boxing reporter Dan Rafael after the journalist says the Englishman ran from fighters.

Journalists and fighters having a difference of opinion is not uncommon in a sport as internationally diverse as boxing, where fighters from different countries are often involved in negotiations for cross-Atlantic bouts that frequently fall through.

ESPN’s highly respected boxing journalist Dan Rafael took to twitter this week to break the story that Saunders is now off the upcoming Canelo vs Smith show in Texas, which prompted Saunders to get in touch with the American boxing writer:

danrafaelespn@GoldenBoyBoxing fat boy don’t talk **** ??!

To which Rafael replied:

Saunders ran from GGG and now he’s turning down all his victims too (Stevens, Rosado, Monroe). lol

What then ensued from Saunders was, well, this:

danrafaelespn ok bring me your mother you fat c*nt and I’ll bend the slag over ) you talk a lot but you need to get of your fat ass

— billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) August 11, 2016

There’s always been a healthy rivalry between US and UK boxing, but the above takes things to a new level at least in terms of UK fighters calling out US journalists and vice versa.

The rematch that was set until conelo decided to purposely get caught cheating and now with his fake knee surgery he is so scared of an old plodder ggg that we will go out of his way not to fight him. A guy at ESPN said to Marcellus Wiley that his source in the canelo camp told him conelo is scared to fight ggg. Max Kellerman said it himself too. It’s obvious man

Thanks for responding. So, basically, there is no rematch anymore. Cool. The first one wasn't that good anyway.
