Dear Ricardo, For your past several bouts, I, along with some other boxing journalists, have been highly critical of your prefight trash-talking. You insulted Cory Spinks by referring to his deceased mother, and said Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas were each a “maricon,†which, roughly translated from colloquial Spanish, means “faggot.†<!-- m -->http://fightbeat.com/article_detail.php?AT=496
Eddie should be ashamed and Carlos, your site is better than this. Those photos are so obviously fake that it's hard to fathom anyone taking this serious, acting as if some stripper saying it's true matters. She's a STRIPPER...i.e. a second string prostitute. Everyone remember the last time a stripper was given cred....Duke Lacrosse. Tasteless, not tyo mention the insinuation that homophoibc slurs are 'ok' as long as they're true.
It's not an insinuation; strippers by definition are pros. The sexual service they provide is different than a a straight sex pro; but one definition is "a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money."
So what string-prostitutes are cheerleaders and models? How about an actress that performs in a nude scene, or a sex scene, or a nude sex scene?
Cheerleaders and models do not provide sexual services. As to actresses who do 'nude scenes' it depends on the context. Pron stars are whores; the actresses on "Tell me You Love Me" are artists even in the context of the illicit scenes they do. Whores are one of those things: know it when you see it. Never seen a stripper who wasn't.
Found it to be a rather rudimentary, slanted article containing inconsequential gossip, pointless speculation, and cheap self-promotion. The author should have more class. It's a shame. :dunno: I can see photoshops being done as a laugh, but trying to use them as fodder for a legitimate news article is shoddy at best. Ugly stuff. Cupey, aren't this website's news articles supposed to be professional? Come on, you're better than this!
agreed about this article considering nothing has been proven about the validity of the claims launched against DLH. However, your approach seems very holier than thou. "You should be ashamed of yourself"? Come on thats what you tell a puppy as you are about to smack it's nose with newspaper. Not for nothing Cliff but before you got your gig at Boxingscene you worked for a cat not necessarily known for his tact and forthright nature. Also. "Those photos are so obviously fake that it's hard to fathom anyone taking this serious" also seems very "Im above this" as well. How do you know they are fake? From what I have seen PLENTY of people very knowledgable in photoshop have come to the conclusion that if they are indeed fake they are some of the best photos they have seen with very little if any error. Some writers I know asked their photog friends about how real they are and even some of DLH's biggest supporters say they look like they could be real. So while the jury is out dont you think you are as hasty as this article? and you putting down the stripper merely because she's a stripper is a fucked up thing. Your broad based brush sweeping her into the "if she strips she is a slut ergo she is dumb and not worth a listen" is weak at best considering. Maybe it's you who should know better Cliff because last time I checked not every stripper becomes a slut and not every stripper is as dumb as rocks. That may be your perception but in general it is horribly wrong and narrow sighted to lump all of them in the same category dont you think? this article and the writer are wrong to be put out at this point but man your points are far more wrong.
I may indeed have come off that way. Curse of the message board: gut reactions. I figured my past associations might come up. However, to be fair, I didn't say she was a slut. I said she was a prostitute. Stripping is a legal form of prostitution. Period. As to the photos, time will tell and perhaps they could be real but they sure looked bad. I still think the idea that it's okay to slur people, whether it turns out to be true later or not and Mayorga likely sure as hell didn't know, is hardly 'more wrong.'

:bears: FINALLY, A SMART MAN GOT THE JOKE. Everyone else is either fucking stupid or needs to start thinking a little bit out of the box. :doh:
Joke or not, that piece of trash was transferred from the News section to what presently serves as your site's lead story.
Even if Oscar's a fag, Mayorga's a bigger fag. And the BIGGEST fag is the old fuck that wrote this article, lets hope he has a stroke soon.
that's your choice. i thought it had its proper place in the news section, it's all i was really saying. I know you can't light a fire under your writers' asses to contribute, on a consistent basis or otherwise. An article like that has its place (newspapers shove it in the gossip section), just not as a showcase piece. But when your guys won't step up... this gets left hanging in the wind All that said - my opinion, your site. just friendly input/feedback from me, and it's all it ever is.
no wonder why you and your 2 bit site gets shitted on in other message boards. you post up garbage and also shit on your own contributors. see ya.
