"I am however, worthy of the name BoxeR, the greatest SC player of all time." I don't think it's reverence for Optimus Prime so much as respect for his teammates. Optimus Prime was a leader. He wants to prove that he is leadership material first. Sure, but what about respect for BoxeR? Doesn't he have to prove that he is LEGEND material first? He doesn't deserve that name any more than the name of a fictional robot leader.
Did BoxeR prove that he was boxing material first? 
The new BoxeR has said that took the name because of how much he respected the old BoxeR. He probably did it so that he would feel pressured to live up to the name. And the old BoxeR doesn't seem to be too bothered about it, if you've read his comments.
He can't really go out and ask Optimus Prime if it's ok to use his name, so the only concern there is his team. So I can understand him not wanting to use the name until he really makes his mark.

talk about fooling his fans... maybe he should be called FaiL_BoxeR from now on, for disappointing the people who supported him and after saying he'll change his name to whatever his fans wanted him to change it to...
Sure is melodramatic around here.
Yeah, lots of people said FoxeR. But the GOM thread also had OptimusPrime in it, and when we did the polls the only three choices were FoxeR, FauxeR, and Something Else. So it's not like we reached a definite conclusion there.
Fans recommended OptimusPrime and he liked it. That's all.

Yeah, like that thread about Mark Twain's autobiography. What the hell, man? I didn't even know he was dead! Now I know how it's going to end...

He should really take the hint from SlayersBoxeRs gilfriend and change his name alredy.

I think it's a hilarious reason. It's basically nonsensical and he clearly doesn't care lol
I thought the same thing. It amuses me to be honest. I could care less what he chooses to call himself really. Would be awesome if he took Foxer though.
Edit - Read through rest of comments. Is it really that big of a deal guys?

how is it disrespectful?
He named himself BoxeR because he respects SlayerS'BoxeR, and because he is his hero. How is this disrespectful, im sure SlayerS'BoxeR doesnt mind.

Because the real one is still playing?
You don't make an "honor" name before the person you are honoring is out, especially if you are doing better than that person :/

To be fair to him he did say he would use Optimus if he won and he didnt.
But if he isnt worthy of Optimus he really isnt worthy of BoxerR either especially as SlayerS'BoxeR is now competing again.
Maybe he should be "The player with no name" ...much like "The man with no name" until he decides which name to use.
|
He could always add his character code after BoXer like you get on ladder. A whole bunch of Americans wish to call themselves Idra on ladder then why can't this kid use the same logic with his hero?

How would you feel if I copied your name 'Yernbek' and we entered the same tournaments as each other? What if we both played teh same race and were both successful? My excuse? YOU'RE A GOOD PLAYER AND UR MY HERO SO I DECIDED TO COPY UR NAME!!!!!!
You can say that about anyone, it doesn't mean it's not annoying.
|
I wouldn't have called him Optimus even if he did change his name, I'd still say FoxeR (even if it was never official).
|
I guess he really didn't expect all the foreign fans to up and want him to change his name to FoxeR so badly because clearly he has no intention of doing so lol.
Sucks too because it'd be a good move on his part to get even more fans than what he already has.
|
Well I dont care from now on.
He will forever be called Foxer
