    I hope so, the world and this site would be a better place if more people were not like that.

    Calling people "assholes" is ad hominem, Roach should expect some brutal fire coming his way...I said I thought what Margo's camp did was over the top, but people shouldn't make a big deal out of this...Who cares? Will be water under the bridge come fight time...

    It's boxing, not sunday morning church....

    I don't disagree, but as people there are limits. Wait, are you calling foul over Roach calling Margo an "*******" come now? You realize it was about Margo cracking jokes about using bricks right? You slam Roach for ad hominem but not Margo over joking about using bricks? Let's be fair here...

    Oh and it's not like Margo hasn't told young children to call Pacquiao puto and other things in Spanish. Let's also be realistic Jeff. It ain't cool teaching young kids how to curse at Pacman on 24/7.

    I understand that but don't you think certain rules can be changed depending on circumstances? My understanding is there has always been an acceptance of hardcore heckling in athletes' locker rooms. In most underground freestyle rap battles, contestants have no boundaries. This means they can cover material that includes racism, molestation, sexism, chauvinism, etc. - pretty much anything goes. At the end of the competition the opponents shake hands and congratulate the winner. Nobody pisses and moans. Take for an example rap star Eminem. Why is it widely acceptable for him to rap about ****, murder, incest, and hate? And how about cutting edge movies? Are we going to protest all day about the excess amount of politically incorrect junk there is in films?

    Obviously the examples given are not Boxing related in a direct way. I'm just trying to make a point.

    Unless you're in complete control, you just have to realize that the line is drawn in different places depending on the setting. I can crack mama jokes among friends at the bar but during an important business meeting that type of behavior would have me drowning in a pool of ****. I don't think Team Margo has any ill will towards Roach. They're just punking the guy. I've read some worse things in the lounge forum.

    Roach ain't no saint....He has talked **** about other fighters for awhile now... He has even gone on record talking about cherry-picking at the right time, which demotes his fighters achievements by doing so....Most of the press gives him a free pass....Which is fair to a certain degree, but push back is bound to happen, and should expect any/all forms of it, including making fun of disease, is that nice? Of course not, but it should be expected....I find it odd, that people are surprised by this...

    You watch if Margo gets his ass handed to him, this incident will be forgottten....Just like when Mayorga talked all that **** about De La Hoya's wife and kids....Was a big deal leading into the fight, now it's just laughable and not serious at all...

    Here's your request. It's not Roach but it is Parkinson's, you know, the condition that Roach has that makes you laugh. Laugh away.

    How about you guys stop acting like a bunch of ***s for a change?


    Sure if Roach was a respectful , educated nice person i would be offended but he's a piece of **** that enjoys trash talking every boxer that isn't an asian midget with a huge head.

    Here is the way it works in real life, if you are an easy target like Roach because you have a disease that makes you look like a ****ing ******, you try to be a nice and respectful person and get along with most people , but if you ignore that and act like a douche, you know they're going to make fun of you in a way that's going to hurt you no matter what, that is common sense.

    I'd say even people who defend Margarito know that's a dickheaded comment to make.

    Look it's like this, the mocking of roach was a bit over the top but not anything to flip out about. It would be if roach was a quiet, humble, and respectful guy, but he isn't. He talks **** about all of his opponents, especially if they are fighting Pac. He can't expect not to get retaliated against.

    It's like if a chick punched you straight in the face, and she thinks you won't hit her back because she is a chick, normally i would say it is a **** move to hit a chick but if the ***** just socked you in the face, she gots something coming to her.

    Also the great majority of people with disabilities or diseases, all want to be treated equal and not be felt sorry for. So if a person is able to talk **** or even attack you regardless of their condition it is only fair to treat them like wise instead of actually insulting them as people by treating them like fragile weaklings.

    Yeah actually some of it is, fortunately for me i have the intelligence to differentiate a joke from blantant disrespect for anyone living with this disease, over sensitive people such as yourself want to act as if Rios and Marg are boycotting people struggling with parkinsons, i'm pretty sure that you've watch and found humor in shows such as southpark, family guy, saturday night live, mad tv, and pretty much any comedian who has at some point joked about ******ation, death, homosexuality and the list goes on and on, so please miss me with that righteous bull****.
