What do you think ? He called Margo a hypocrite for not fighting PW in his next fight and claims Dela Hoya / PAC is a worthy match up.
Rafael is on the Golden Boy payroll. He has been for some time now(although he is right about Margo being a hypocrite).
Dan Rafael,The Ring magazine,they all about the money,they just talk smack Anyway you did this thread yesterday,here we go again
Dan Rafeal, ESPN's self professed "Boxing Guru" is a ****ing disgrace and the shame is, he's the liaison between the boxing world and the casual boxing fan. The fact that he passionately supports the DLH/Pacquiao fight tells it all. For all of you that can't stand Larry Merchant, you need to take a good look at Rafael. Larry tells it like it is and calls a **** matchup a **** matchup. To me Rafael is just a mouthpiece for the Golden Boy Productions and the other big Promotors. I mean, he had Alfredo Gomez listed as a top 10 welterweight prior to the Cotto fight. He rates guys higher before a big fight so idiots that don't know better or people that don't really follow boxing think the guy is legit. **** Rafeal!
I called out Dan a while ago. Look how many people ran to his defense. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69237&highlight=Talking+points+memo
From his live chat: Mark (Vancouver): Sounds like you're a bit pissed off at all the questioning of your Margarito Blog. The truth is, I agree with some of what you say, but you can't blame Margarito for wanting to fight DLH = $$$$$$$$$$$. Chicken hoya did say that he was going to fight the winner of Cotto-Margarito, plus its a payday. HE IS NOT DUCKING WILLIAMS! Dan Rafael: (1:02 PM ET ) I don't blame Margs for wanting to fight Oscar. Everyone does because he brings the $$$$. But you remain an idiot because Oscar didn't say he would fight Margarito. So go cry somewhere else. I would also consider investing in a reading course so you can understand what you read instead of just saying what you want to believe you read. Joe (NYC): I'm as big of a DLH critic as they come, but I don't know how people like Mark in Vancouver and Carlos in Funky Town can accuse Oscar of ducking anybody. Dan Rafael: (1:06 PM ET ) Because they are haters who do not understand the business side of boxing at all. Sounds like some typical nuthugger poster on ESB.
did dan really say they were haters??? LMAO.. how bout the side of boxing where you fight competitve fights with guy sin your division? and not once a year ?
