    Seriously, this guy is an absolute ****. If he was just a boxing reporter, fine, but his ****ing opinion stinks, especially the derogatory way he talks about fighters. He shits on them, like he's got a right to an opinion when he clearly doesn't. Remember all that bull**** for months about Margarito? A guy he labelled "Margacheato", which was incredibly funny on every level? Even though I don't like Mayweather, nobody in the mainstream press should resort to the kind of comments Rafael has. He constantly calls David Haye a "ducker" yet the fat ***** has been ducking a diet every day for the past decade, so I'm not sure what right he has to insult a guy who has frequently gone to war in the ring.

    Take a look at him - What a pathetic fat *******. He's got absolutely no right to ever talk **** about any fighter who has the balls to get in the ring. I can't remember who it was about, but I even remember him calling a fighter lazy about a year ago. Look at him! The only reason he reports on the internet is so he can sit on his fat arse all day, with one hand on his mouse and greasy keyboard, whilst the other is in a bucket of KFC.

    He's an internet troll with a few good contacts and, bizarrely, the chance to work for ESPN.

    and you just know that if he was ever sat in a room interviewing any of the guys he's insulted, Mayweather, Haye and Margarito included, he'd be a sycophantic ***** to them. Anyone think he'd call Margarito "Margocheato" and mock him getting beaten up by Pacquiao? Of course not. Rafael is a coward, hypocrit and, in case I didn't make it clear, a fat ****ing waste of space.

    :lol: you've been mad about this one for quite some time, huh?

    I agree, he's a douche. But he is pretty dedicated in terms of updating his blog and keeping on the up and up. The quality of his writing is poor, but eh.

    He has good sources but his opinion is incredibly biased. Nobody can seriously think he's a better writer than Hauser.

    ESB's John Garfield's left scrotum got better sports writing talent than Dan Rafael.

    Someone is a little peeved that Rafael failed to label Saturday's fight as an ATG win for Haye.

    JG is a much better writer. Quite a lot of the people who post in the classic forum are better writers too.

    Not really. I've said on ESB for a long time, that anyone who seriously considers Haye a ducker, doesn't know his history. If Rafael thinks that he is, I consider him as ignorant as the posters on here who say the same thing.

    I still haven't decided on whether I think Haye is ducking. I DO think that the klits gave him a contract that was unsatisfactory, and they have done it before. I also think Haye has made himself look a lot worse globally with fans for picking a fight with audley instead of a more legitimate opponent, adamek for example would have been a great fight and nobody sensible would have said ****.

    Point is he needs to fight Vitali at least sometime soon, and get ready for Wlad. or at least start taking on some legitimate top ten opposition.

    he's a good source but I skip his analysis and opinions of everything he does. His scorecards are always awful. My biggest problem is that he thinks his analysis of boxers and fights are so great, but they are worthless. He does have a lot of good sources though and that's the only reason he has the job he does. He should just stick to being an info guy, like Adam Shefter is for football. Dan giving his analysis of fights would be like Adam Schefter breaking down game tape. He wouldn't do it because he's never played football and knows nothing about the x's and o's of football. Well Dan has never boxed and knows nothing more than any hardcore boxing fan.
