Quote:saying "He gave Iron Mike the fight of his early career." is saying it as fact. he does not say " in my opinion He gave Iron Mike the fight of his early career." or " i think He gave Iron Mike the fight of his early career.".
He didn't have to say it cause its pretty obvious that he's speaking for himself, he is typing it, so who else could he be speaking for if not himself? If he is speaking for himself it is an opinion. Every sportswriter writes in his own opinion when describing events, ofcourse you cant dispute facts like who won or the scoring but the fight itself is written from their opinions. You can't go over the hill and say Bonecrusher dominated or something but the fact that he pushed and tested tyson is pretty much there.
Clipping snippets of my posts to fit them to your needs isnt helping either. I jumped in becuase its a boxing thread and you know Damn well I am the biggest boxing head here and you are arguing a boxing topic, so what I cant join in?
By saying he gave tyson the fight of his early career is a valid opinion. He pushed tyson to start using rough house tactics, using his glove to open further a cut, trash talking, elbows, etc when he got frustrated. Many could say that night Tyson started to unravel. Cus D'amato was dead, he was with Don King and being torn apart outside and now inside the ring.
Plus you can not deny that Smith rocked tyson in 12th round.
