lol, quite a few people like to get hit.
When I'm in a fight, I let my self get punched because I enjoy the thrill and adrenaline off being engaged in a fight.
I'd rather get in a toe to toe war, then destroy someone, and I guarantee I'm not the only person out there like this.
Why do you think people like Gratton, Cote and the likes do open up like they do, because they have no problem getting punched in the face.

Criticise my "god" , when did I call him god?

Please tell me why my statement --talking the talk to him straight in his face, would apply to politicians or celebrities? We are talking about Georges Laraque, and only Georges Laraque. Or shall we generalize so more and as you say include everyone , politicians, celebrities, hell why not include doctors, vets, gym teachers...... This is about criticism of Laraque, plain & simple.

Did I make Georges out to be a "victim"? Hmm..

Seriously, feel free to critique Georges all you like, but the fact is, hes still better than 99% of the fighters out there. Whether you think so or not. Ill go with the amount of respect he gets on the ice, than the amount of respect he gets from you .
You spitted out the most childish and worn out clicheŽ around - Don't say it if you can't tell "it" face to face.

I assume that you live like you learn by the way you post? I hope you are straight with people, considering how you would like people to treat Georges. That would be living by the sword my friend.
And of course, it should be the norm as how you treat people in general, not only a thing to use when you get pissed because some people at HF.Com is ripping on your god.

As for the last paragraph... generally there is a mutual understanding between the "homo fan boys" and the "haters", he is good. No one is disputing that, atleast not me. That debate is however old, redundant and very boring at this point. The average poster knows what he has accomplished during his fighting career, no one needs you to tell them who Georges Laraque is.

And yes you made him a victim, you don't think he can handle that people on the internet has opinions about him? Laughable.

Because they're outclassed in terms of strength, and they have no choice to throw 'em because they're defense would be simply overpowered.

I don't know. The question is an interesting one, but kind of misleading and depends strongly on a person's expectations. We are comparing a high volume, tough but average enforcer with a LONG running champ (or top 2 or 3 for you Brash/Boogey?Belak fans...hmmm, lots of B names).

Both of these guys sort of met my expectations. Laraque again didn't unleash a vicious campaign, and Parros did excellent enforcing and took on all comers, yet didn't impress in the win dept.

I can't say Parros disappointed me. He is 6'5", but he really lacks the bulk to dominate imo. He's actually a bit thin and lanky compared to a BGL, and his style is more smart/defensive (hasn't been KOd much for a high volume fighter!). Being a high volume fighter, he is going to get a few surprise wins and a few surprise losses. He does exhibit some power on occasion (Cote). He does his job admirably, is a great locker room guy, is easy to market to the fans, stays pretty healthy, and actually has started putting up some points/minutes. I'd choose him over BGL for my team, and I'd choose both if I could

In brief: I'm not disappointed with the `Stache, he's the man!!

You'll see them both in the AHL soon enough.

Did I say it---don't say it if you can't tell it--face to face-----------were those my words??????

As for being pissed, you're kidding me right?? Seriously, you actually think this? Hahahaha you must feel this banter between yourself & I is more important than it is. Ill say this too, again, he is not my "GOD" , I have never said this nor shall i ever.

As for me not telling anyone what he has accomplished, why should you tell anyone what you think he has not? Sorry friend, Im more impressed by what someone has done, than what someone thinks he should have.

Sorry, but can you please tell me where I said he "cannot handle that people have opinions about him on the internet". Made him out to be a victim, no way, sorry.

You insinuated something in your original post. I caught the gist of it, Or?

If i was wrong, please enlighten me. What was it you wanted to say?
Or are we trying to create a rationalization to make your "argument" look better? Are we trying to keep this thread running long enough to forgetting what was said in the first post of yours?

As for the rest of your post. It's pretty obvious that you are trying to switch focus to pretending i dissed Georges as a fighter, i didn't.
I simply dissed your way to tell people that you can't accept any negative opinion shared about Georges.

The banter itself is not that important, but wheter you like it or not, banter between people on a message board just happens. No need to cry about it.

God i feel gay typing the name Georges over and over again, btw.

What argument? You started arguing with me, not the other way around. You do understand this, yes?

I also never said you "dissed" Georges as a fighter.

"I simply dissed your way to tell people that you can't accept any negative opinion shared about Georges."
Really, i cannot accept any negative opinion on Georges. Hahahaha you are delusional, and now apparently know what i am thinking or how i feel. Please give yourself some more credit here, can you also tell me how i cannot accept people not liking Orange Goblin, or Steak ??

And as far as banter between people, this is what the board is for. So i gave my opinion and you gave yours. Can you accept this? Can you stop crying? after all since you are sure i am, you must be too, correct?

Are you really this stupid?

So far you have proven absolutely nothing--(oh wait yes, you have, you've proven to me that you can make stuff up that suits your --argument). So now you have to refer to-- the "post you called me out for" ??????? What are you talking about? What what what?????

Is it more "GOD" stuff, or "VICTIM" stuff? Seriously, sorry friend, but you remind me of the grade 5 child who now has to cry to his mommy.

Eventually you may understand that you have proven , nothing, except you know how to waste my time. Congrats, you got me there.

And hence the reason why they are ****ty fighters.

You're a bigger dolt than I originally thought. Weak chin? Maybe someone with enough fighting talent who can stop Laraque from grabbing his sweater can test his chin someday.



You describe the Belak fight as Brashear "opening up?" I'll simplify it for you: Brashear fought the way he normally does and got punched in the face, really hard, for his troubles. He found out the hard way that Wade Belak isn't Jared Boll.

Have a nice day.
his chins weak, brash opened up, and yes some fighters get punched cause they can take it and use it to open up their opponent. no matter what to you bgl is perfect and will nevert lose a fight

Again with you. Laraque has been TKO'd, what, once? And that was in the minors.

Weak chin, eh? Prove it.
