    cutting slack means less pressure. without the cutting part the definition of slack is here

    : not stretched or held in a tight position

    : not busy : lacking the expected or desired activity

    : doing something poorly because you are not putting enough care or effort into it

    you sure?never heard anyone say they slack someone.

    slacking off work, slacker (mcfly u slacker!), slack.

    one of my old bosses used to say " I slack you" but he had a speech impediment and meant something else.

    Butthurt about what? Exposing the fact that you're terrified of skyping me? No it's my pleasure showing this whole forum how many excuses you can come up with to not show your face, or place you live in. It just shows how scared you are :lol::lol:. You accuse me of posting about you, yet you've posted on nearly all of my threads, and brought up old threads as well, it's obvious that you're mad that I've destroyed and humiliated you countless times. Will you ever be man enough to skype me though? :lol:

    what do you mean am I sure? cutting slack is an expression, the word slack by itself isn't the same.

    cutting slack yeah sure.

    just you don't use that in your opener. you say people slack bob the boxer etc.
    I don't think that's its use.

    I agree with your post if that's worth anything. brook is taking the calzaghe path.

    my point is the word slack by itself doesnt mean less pressure. slacking off is also an expression just like cutting slack. and I've explained several times that where I grew up we used slack instead of words like flack, and ****, for giving **** to people. i dont know why people are bringing this up over and over again, that's not the point of this thread.

    and you're correct, as of now brook is taking the calzaghe path, jo jo dan then Gavin is a huge joke.

    Ellerbe and co seem to completely ignore the facts in your posts, which is usually a sure fire sign that they have no logical counter to debate. Once Team Khan decided to go in a different direction (something which caught Brook and Hearn completely by surprise) what was Kell supposed to do? Gavin was the best option at the time. If one assesses the WW division for an opponent, Manny and Floyd were obvious non-starters, Thurman was unavailable (he was just coming back from injury) Bradley had ruled himself out, JMM is still out, Khan chose a different path. Porter? Brook has already beat him. Maidana? He isn't coming back anytime soon. Rios? He means absolutely nothing to the UK audience (which is important, since it is a UK ppv card) and to be honest, Rios quite simply isn't that good. Gavin is the IBF's #4 (I think that's a joke, but it's not Kell's fault) Amir is #3 and there is no #1 or #2 since Kell beat #1 Dan (another joke , but again, it's down to the IBF and not Kell) and #2 Bradley went in another direction. Gavin, though not ideal, was the best option for Kell as he was voing to probably have Gavin as a mando before the end of the year. Ellerbe dishes out flak to Brook, but doesn't slate Thurman for fighting shot to sh it Collazo, who Amir got slated for fighting (and utterly dominating) a year ago!! And whats with ellerbe's incessant desire to Skype you Hans?? He's obviously looking to do a Leslie Grantham, so you do well to avoid that!!

    I've explained this plenty of times blizzyboy. Even though Rios isn't that good he's fought far better and ebat far better competition than Gavin. Also Bradley might have been available if he was offered the fight sooner, he didn'T take the fight with Vargas until extremely recently.

    Also, I did give thurman **** for fighting collazo, I'm very disappointed in the fight, but if he stops him that would be very impressive. Collazo has been in there with Mosley, he beat Hatton and Berto, none of these guys could stop him. Gavin ahs been in there with Bundu, THurman's leftover and he lost.

    Thurman fought Leonard AFTER Frankie did. Good to know that you're as consistently wrong as ever. And it was a split decision that Bundu beat Frankie on. You are grossly exaggerating just how good Rios is elle. He went 2-1 with Alvarado, who is 1-4 in his last five and not that good really, he has a DQ win over Chaves, which was a really close fight (and Chaves is sh it) but who are these excellent fighters that Rios has beat? Other than a hammering by Pac-man, his record is littered with wins over nobodies who Gavin (who you are underestimating) would probably handle comfortably. Rios is tough, no doubt, but incredibly overrated. Collazo didn't beat Hatton (it was very close, but stop it) and that fight was nine years ago. his win over Berto was six years ago and he was hammered by Mosley even before that. In short, Luis is half a decade past his sell by date. I tell you what, you want to prove that you're a reasonable poster and not a rabid Brook hater? Prove it! Set up a thread slating Thurman's choice of opponent for his next fight. But of course, you won't do that, will you? Because you are a Brook hater and typical Thurman fanboy=American.

    I knew they fought before you absolute moron. :patschThe first Bundu fight I watched before he fought THurman was against Gavin, and I gave **** to Thurman for taking that fight. No one thought it was a SD, it was a clear win for Bundu but of course you didnt watch it so you wouldn't know.
    Stop exposing yourself as a casual fan. Rios has a very decent resume. I'm not overrating him at all. Have you never heard of acosta? He's an extermely solid name, Anthony Peterson and Antillion are good win too. His resume is FAR better than Gavin's, like I said, the only decent guy Gavin got in the ring with was thurman's leftovers/tune up and he lost. Rios took Alvarado's 0, and that was an Alvarado who was coming off beating a Herrera who went on to beat Danny Garcia.

    You say Collazo didn't beat Hatton, but Collazo did better against Hatton than Gavin did against Bundu forsure. I doubt you watched either fights since you most likely started watching boxing in 2014-2015.

    Why do you have this insatiable desire to Skype him elle? You do realise that he in all likelihood is not THE "Super Hans" don't you? :lol: Mind you, if he was, I'D want to Skype him too ( Hans in Peep Show, what a bloke). Are you wanting to do a Leslie Grantham? :lol:

    He accused me of not living in Japan. I told him I lived in a 5 grand a month apartment in tokyo, and he called me full of ****, and I accused him of being a minimum wage making b1tch that lives in a **** hole. Instead of just talking, I thought skpying each other would save a lot of time and let the truth out. But of course he's had an excuse everytime not to skype like "he can't access his webcam", or he can't afford a smartphone :lol:. Oh btw, peep show s a terrible show, inbetweeners all day.
    It's pretty obvious that he's terrified to skype, and values his dignity. I've humiliated him so badly that even some brits are calling him a duck, of course there are the gramseys, and maybe you that will suck him off and defend him no matter what, but the majority of the forum is seeing how scared he is.

    oh and for the record, if THurman fights back to back bums like Dan and Gavin, I'll definitely make a thread about it. He's coming off fighting a top 10 ww that has fought the #1 p4p Floyd Mayweather. If thurman fights collazo, and then Dan or Gavin I'll definitely make a thread.
