Didn't he say to Shannon Briggs after the Vitali fight that he wished it was a 15 rounder? I'd like to see the fat **** have a 15 rounder with Shannon Briggs, or 15 seconds would do.
What is a matter with that? Just because he doesn't toe the line with the boring consensus? Pretty accurate if you ask me, I fail to see how in anyway it is disrespectful, the truth hurts so they say.....and he is always going to be pro-Broner, the bloke is so far up Broner's ass. Its Broner's weekend ***** I think.
I'm about 4 lines in and can't be arsed with rafael just disrespectful. Too busy throwing **** on Gonzalez rather than giving him credit to make burns look bad.
Fat Dan is a *****, but it's hard to disagree with anything he says there. He's a **** journalist though, disrespectful to fighters and a crap writer. How can he paid for writing **** like this: 'Gonzalez befuddled an ineffective Burns (36-2, 11 KOs), who was as lucky to keep his title (in his third defense) as anyone is to hit the lottery.
He is a total disgrace, constantly disrespectful to fighters and totally biased. One week, a masterclass by Rigo to defeat elite fighter in Donaire is deemed as boring and gets slated, then Mayweather masterclass to beat Guerrero is lauded as a brilliant masterclass. He is a fat hypocritical wanker.
....and thats the problem. atsch I'm hardly a fan of Dan Rafael, but I had the respect to at least read the entire article and then comment. I feel at least 99% in this thread have the same pre-conceived attitude as yourself and only really wanted to have a dig in the first place, regardless of the truths he actually spoke. In no way was that article disrespectful, and for those that think it was, probably didnt like the truth it spoke.
Kirkland was lucky to beat Molina. Williams was lucky to beat Lara. Burns was not lucky to win last night.
I recall fatdan on espn classic fights once when he was in the company of such august folk like Bert Sugar & Angelo Dundee. Talk about being out of his depth, and he knew it, Brian Kenny asked fat dan's opinion about a classic battle from the past that had been just shown & the look of absolute hilarious contempt from both Sugar & Dundee said it all as they both looked at the ceiling listining to fat dan sink without trace.
