    dftaylor thinks the poster has a fair point, but then dftaylor only replies to the best, and redandwhiterob needs to prove he's the best still.

    I think its because they see themselves as some sort of product or maybe because they have a big ego and feel the words 'I' or 'me' belittle them.

    GG thinks this because only GG knows what he has to offer...

    That's what you get when dftaylor joins a thread - great posts and excitement for other posters.

    When DFTaylor enters a thread, It's not just William Charlton that will Listen, William expects many more to do so as well.

    James DeFail did this once on Buncey's show and got told off immediately for doing it.

    Lennox was the worst, followed by Hatton.

    I can remember reading somebodies experience about meeting Carl Froch in a club.

    And he was mentioning..."The Cobra" as if it was some sort of alter ego.

    That's a poor drawing of Dennis Lebadev by the way.

    I ****ing love it, and wish more people spoke about themselves in the 3rd person. It's funny because it's so strange.

    Anyone else find it a bit disturbing to hear Hatton say "This is the end of Ricky Hatton"(!)? Pretty obvious that Hatton actually does think "Ricky Hatton" the boxer is his alter-ego.

    I guess that is how they look at it. The boxer is one side of their persona, the family man, etc is another.

    Ray Leonard spoke about it a lot when he went into rehab.
