    I like when he got into a Twitter war with Shannon Briggs. Made me smile to think that Briggs might go "Brownsville" on fat boy and smash his face in. Dan is an OK writer but he says a ton of dumb stuff too.

    All these threads about Dan Rafael and negative talk about Dan Rafael is straight jealousy. The guy has a job most people on here would give their left nut for. Let Dan worry about his weight and just sit back and enjoy the man's work.

    It's to do with his journalistic integrity, jealousy doesn't enter the equation.

    Dan Rafael has his negative and positive characteristics.

    On the negative side, his gay "Love Child" talk is sickening. And sometimes he can be biased, favoring American boxers, especially HBO stars and Top Rank fighters.

    At the same time, he's very knowledgeable and is actually fair and objective MOST of the time.

    Apparently, some are offended that Rafael critisizes Floyd and Haye to the point where they can't hear what Dans really trying to say.
    If there are two fighters that are ever open to critisism it's Floyd and Haye. At the same time, Rafael is paid to write about what he sees .
    Dan is a very average reporter , but attacks on his appearence don't accomplish much other than a dig at someone who dares blaspheme Floyd or Haye.

    Fat dan is now the favorite \writer of the *****s.

    He put Gayweather as PFP number 1.

    He lost his credibility before but regained it again. So now he is credible.
