Luke, got another question for you.
From my boxing commenter:
"You have Bika vs Brinkley this weekend coming. Bika is listed as 1.57, i was curious what your mates prediction would be for this. I have Bika to beat Jesse."
Thoughts?

2012: +19.33
2012 Parlay project: +16.5u
I guess I will also pose my Klitcko question here:
Vitali is -5000 (not -500, I said -5000)
The other guy is +2000
Seems kind of worth it to toss $10 on the dog. Does this guy have any chance at all?

For me this would be like putting Sims up against Fedor

So are you only NOT a bum if you're the champ? Or in the top 5? Or the top 9?Originally Posted by Luke
I really have some issues with your use of the word "bum." When I think bum, I think some down on his luck fighter, probably alcoholic, who hasn't won a fight in years and is of course nowhere near the top 10.

You fail to address the point.Originally Posted by Luke
How is a fighter who is in the top 10--especially when he comes from a pool of 1,000 fighters (your number)--and bum? That really makes no sense to me.
I heart cock
You can chill on that Roy Jones bum shit right now.Originally Posted by Luke
That guy is my hero.

I just think it's retarded. I also think that considering you used to fight yourself that it's a little odd for you to speak so disparagingly of another fighter's skills. I mean, if RJJ--or Brandon Vera, for that matter--are bums, then what about the guys who are fighting in your local MMA org? Super bums?Originally Posted by Luke
Personally, I just think that fighters who are willing to go into the cage or the ring deserve respect. If you have to call someone a "bum" or a "can" then at least reserve it for those who truly are, like maybe Blake Bowman or Andy Wang.

I almost never use either term, and if I do then you know that I'm REALLY making a statement about how I feel about a fighter's abilities.Originally Posted by IWS Zak
In my book, you have:
Top Guys/The Elite (Penn, GSP, Silva, Fedor)
High-Level Guys (Melendez, Edgar, Fitch, Alves, Marquardt, Mir)
Mid-Level Guys (Matt Hamill, Ross Pearson, Alan Belcher, Amir Sadollah)
Solid Fighters (guys like Shannon Gugerty who come into the UFC, maybe get a win or maybe not, but get cut after a few fights)
Bums/Cans (Blake Bowman, Andy Wang, that dude that Herschel Walker fought)
If I call a guy a bum or a can, then he just needs to find another profession.
