    Serious question, are you related to him?

    It appears that you are.

    He's a great fighter, and I enjoy watching him.

    But there's still question marks surrounding him, and it seems that you're not being objective when you discuss him.

    The second line sums up my point.

    The GOAT?

    I don't think so.

    But we'll have to wait and see.

    It should be an exciting and interesting 2015.

    I'm hopefully he can go on a good run after Wlad pounds him.

    What? Why would the greatest boxer of all time have to be a heavyweight?

    What you're talking about is H2H (head to head) not a measure of skills or ability.

    Boxing isn't some free-for-all where they just throw guys into the ring regardless of size. Therefore the greatest boxer can be any weight as long as he has the greatest skillset.

    When people talk about the hypothetical GOAT they're actually talking about is which fighter is the best at boxing. Not "who would winz in da fightz! derr...midgetz would get be4t3n!"

    ...oh god, the irony, it's so rich. That Bertrand Russell quote about intelligence would seem to apply here.

    ...I...uh...what? It's the EXACT SAME SPORT! What does it matter if they weigh less than 147?

    bear knuckle? not any other type of animal knuckle?

    You've never heard of bear knuckle boxing?!? It is very popular in remote areas of the Arctic, where unfortunately people are uneducated, cut off from outside society, and worship Tyson fury because somebody discarded a picture of him when flying over in an airplane a few years ago. It's truly a sad place, where removing the paws of poor polar bears and beating each other with them is their only source of entertainment. Congrats on their new Internet connection that they just got a few weeks ago:good

    You should challenge him to a bare knuckle boxing match as opposed to the twisted animal cruelty that is bear knuckle boxing:deal

    Unfortunately my Mother passed away from cancer this last March. She was never aware of this strange ritual of BEAR knuckle boxing, but I assume she'd be against it because she loved animals and had many pets over her lifetime. Please help put a stop to BEAR knuckle boxing. It's time for your people to do away with such savage acts. Thanks in advance. You CAN make a difference:good

    oh man, do I feel stupid now! I thought it was just a hilarious typo, not a way of life for this poor deluded nomad.

    Although to you and I it may seem cruel to remove bear paws and fight with them, we must remember that this is the culture of these (some might say 'noble') indigenous people. And If we don't condone it we can at least try and understand it.
