if you all haven't noticed, I welcome debate ... I love it ... especially when I have to go it alone, even against the world it seems ... among those battles I've taken on my shoulders:
-my distaste for Euro ball players as a whole ... zero toughness, zero defense and IMO the only reason why they're in the league now is because the NBA changed their rules to cater to soft players ... most specifically, my well documented beef is with Jose Frauderon, who's been touted as a premiere PG in the NBA, by the idiots here in Toronto ... but last season proved my point that he's nothing more than a glorified backup at best ... this season will simply re-inforce that point ...
-most recently my HV teammates and myself have been in a debate over the greatest female R&B vocalist of all time ... I'm officially ready to hand the crown to Alicia Keys, but my boy Skip is siding with Mariah Carey, while NC is holding firm with Lauryn Hill ... short and sweet, all three of Alicia's albums have far surpassed any albums Mariah has put out post 1997 ...
-Boxing vs. MMA ... Dana White = Eric Bischoff ... so many parallels with their outright arrogance ... before Saturday White claimed "boxing is in trouble"? ... well the public has spoken with a resounding HELL NO!!! ... Money May nearly tripled UFC's PPV in buys ... UFC and MMA are fads ... much like AND1 Streetball a few years back and where the hell are they now? ... like I told Zona: MMA is for the unintelligible, Boxing is for everyone ... seeing the audience shift in interest at Boston Pizza last Saturday, combined with these PPV numbers is a sweet victory ...
next debate I plan on undertaking is baseball vs. soccer ... most people I talk to, love to bash baseball for being "boring" ... I'm of the opinion that soccer is THE most boring sport on the planet ... I guess by saying that, I'm also saying that most people in the world are delusional, considering soccer being the most "global" of all sports ... but J-Smooth vs. The World, I wouldn't have it any other way ...

You know I had to comment right. I'm not even touching MMA vs Boxing. You know how I feel about that.
Greatest R&B of all time I would put in a dark horse, Mary J Blige. Her first 5 albums are legendary. But that is a very personal pick, to each their own.
I cant wait to see calderon this season...
As for Soccer, Its a sport that is very boring if you dont understand it, same with baseball. Soccer is only universal because all you need to play it is a ball. The simplicity makes it such that anyone anywhere can play at any time. Baseball is an american sport you must admit that. But there are more people out there that would agree with you about soccer than you might think...
yeah, I know the big blow to UFC this past w/e must be tough to swallow, LOL ...
Mary J, completely forgot 'bout her ... she's great no doubt, but me personally, never considered her among GOAT ... like I told my boys, plats don't lie, she's only had two, I believe ... however, the longevity factor, she had a pretty nice run ...
Frauderon's got no excuses this year ...
I do understand Soccer, but it's still boring ... I may even take this a step further and argue baseball over both hockey and soccer ...
You and your sales justification.
Like I said, according to your justification, Solja boy is the greatest rapper of all time, or at least on track to be...
please!
sales is the LAST part of my WHOLISTIC argument against MMA, along with Skills, building fighters and subjectivity
now music to boxing is apples to oranges, soulja boy's only claim to #1 is the soundscan/sales ... a big part of the health gauge of boxing has been PPV buys, along with the marquee of the heavyweight and P4P divisions ... but the HW div is negligable right now b/c we have two A-Side PPV draws in Pacman and Money May ... and Dana White's claim to #1, a big part, has been sales ... so your argument against me is fallacious ...
Draws = sales.
You say the comparison is bad and then you prove my argument. I personally have no opinion on which is better. Its like I said if we go by your argument, Football is the #1 sport in the world, which I think is a false statement.
Dana's argument is not my argument, please don't group me together with that Loser.
And my argument is fallacious? Boy is my mind in the gutter.
my bad, I should've been more specific ... like I said, a wholistic argument, along with skills, etc. ... when I said buys/draws/sales whatever, was a big part, I was talking 25-30% ...
and if we went on the sales argument, soccer is leaps and bounds the best sport, ughhh, yuck ...
Dana White, like I said before, the new age Eric Bischoff, had some innovative ideas, but his arrogance will eventually be his and UFC's undoing ...
