I'm already working on something. I am trying to get his e-mail to start a big E-mail spree to him to show him our support. Wouldn't be be lovely for boxer to wake up one morning and have over 9000 (hehe) E-mails from his fans. Would evn be awesome for him to get a few dozen a day. For him to read and know he is loved for what he does. | ||

Reading over that, you would think you were reading about a general or a world leader, not a middling professional gamer on the downside of his career. No offense to Boxer, but that's what happens. You can't continue to live off past accomplishments and still expect the same amount of respect you got then. In short, yeah Boxer did a lot, but that was years ago. The new generation is better, faster, and smarter. Boxer may come back and win, but I wouldn't bet on it. Tiger hasn't won anything in awhile ey. Maybe we should say he's in a downward spiral and fallen to hell. Nevermind that he probably inspired young golfers everywhere. No worries. Thanks tiger, pack your bags see you later. I'm sure I could think of a better example given time, but not right now. No one deserves what that journalist wrote. Even so, he was a pioneer, not just a winner. And the new generation being better, faster and smarter? I'd like to see thebestfou play boxer. LOL. | ||

Sure, I doubt he'll ever really rise to the top again, but your purely materialistic view of professional competition is shallow and suggests ignorance. You're forgetting that Boxer founded what could be argued as the two most successful eSports teams of all time - SK Telecom T1 in BW, and SlayerS in SC2. Not to mention his contribution to Air Force ACE. You're also forgetting how Boxer alone was one of the biggest drivers in bringing eSports into mainstream Korean culture. Learn from the past to create a better future. Dismissing him as a "has-been" is both disrespectful and ridiculous. | ||

Emperor fighting! Seriously, he's done so much for esports in SC1, competes for several seasons among the top calibers of players in the world, assembles a team of unbelievably skilled competitors, and now because he's not playing code A anymore he gets shrugged off by a reporter? He's still f'ing boxer lol. | ||

Wouldn't it be silly if I didn't respect Muhammad Ali because he's not the boxer he once was? (Wow no pun intended, must have subconsciously chosen him as an example ). His accomplishments are still there, and he's still the man that accomplished those things. What would be the point in being great at anything if at the time you were no longer great everyone forgot you or slandered you? Saying that he's not very good is not disrespect, it's the truth. I'm not condoning slander, but there is nothing wrong with pointing out that Boxer isn't a top class SC player. Respect him for his past accomplishments, rightly. But respect him right now as a player? Er... pass. | ||

And people criticising the writer apparently have no sense of irony whatsoever. If it's not okay for him to bash Boxer, why is okay for you to bash the writer? Again, ridiculous. | ||

I don't think anyone has a problem with saying the chances of Boxer winning GSL Code S in the next few seasons is slim but that's not what's being discussed in the article. | ||
