    I'm well aware of what one is, I just don't know why you used it. Are you suggesting my name isn't Jack?

    And why is a following in Germany or Europe in general less relevant? Eben in the HW division, which was dominated by Lewis, then the Klitschkos and Haye being the only fighter seen as a possible threat to them, still the term Euro -bum oder Euro -level is thrown around, as if American HW's are automatically better. Americans have to get off this delusion that the US is the most important country in the world.

    Germany has health care, politicians wise enough to not get involved in the Iraq disaster, a much better soccer team than the US, is far more popular as a country/people than the US, probably the most unpopular country/people in the world due to their annoying exceptionalism. Friends from the US I have now claim they are from Canada when they travel because they don't want to be blamed.

    Is it jack? if so then thats cool and the quotations should not be there but if it is not then that is where they belong. Do you admit you were wrong about 50/50 yet or are you still awaiting conformation from haye despite even saurland admitting to it :deal

    Wlad and Mayweather don't need excuses...

    Oh, Did you come out to your parents, yet? How did it go.

    Duran/Leonard wasn't the highest level..it was Leonard getting tricked into a brawl. Same goes for Holyfield/Bowe.

    Now Walcott/Charles is the highest level, ***** 4 realz.

    Surprised, you even attempted dialouge with me after the beating you got last time...

    This man speaks the truth. I will see highlights on the web. Tell HBO to save it's money for competitive fights between styles I want to see.

    That old moving target, misdirection thing has always been in play here so he and some of the Haye fans are being perfectly consistent here. :yep

    This is the common misconception....that HBO is saving its supposidely exiguous boxing budget for better bouts. That's a lie. What HBO is duing is diverting more and more of its budget into PPV bouts. They even went so far as to create their 24/7 boxing series, which is nothing more than a well-produced 30-minute commerical on a supposidely non-commerical network that is used to promote their PPV bouts. If you've notice, they are spending less and less money on the bouts that are free for subscribers and diverting more into PPV. Yes, subscribers s:roll:hould be pissed.

    True.

    And, to reiterate, even if it's HBO's decision not to show Wlad-Povetkin, it doesn't seem like many others are bothered by how they went about doing it. Had they simply declined, no harm, no foul- Wlad could've simply went to Showtime and had the fight on the 18th.

    The only reason Klitschko went with the 11th is that HBO promised Team Klitschko they would air the fight then. By the time HBO backed out, it was too late to change the date and Showtime wasn't an option.

    That's the part that should be pissing people off. It's much more than a simple "sorry, we're not bidding on a Povetkin fight".

    No, I'm saying he should rub his two braincells together and try to understand the context.

    I've never done anything more than balance up the arguments and play Devil's Advocate. Like I've said, I'm a bigger Wlad fan so I don't know why anyone would think I'm against him.

    We sit here and watch you type im a bigger Wlad fan really, but he sure is a punk the slave contracts and all the lowballing and throwing Hayes name through the mud why would haye deserve that he is so..... Yeah bulshitt buddy no one is buying that excuse. much like your " gag order" your excues are thin and really hard to swallow. telling people they were outright lying about the contracts then saying no really i am a fan....

    bunch of Bulshitt the sad thing is you were wrong about the **** you said and are not man enough to admit it.. I guess kinda like bunce in a sort full of **** get called out on it you deflect and avoid but cannot admit you were full of **** even with your own quotes proving you wrong.
