Evander Holyfield Reports of Death are a Hoax....He's alive and well.
...just read this on Twitter. Is it true???
Re: RIP Evander Holyfield
Link?
Might want to at least put a question mark in the thread title too.

Re: RIP Evander Holyfield
Probably fake, people claiming living people are dead is weirdly common, plus he tweeted 35 min ago.

Exactly. There is no semi-reliable source.crusader wrote:Link?

Re: RIP Evander Holyfield
The OP should delete his thread....actually I don’t think you can once it’s been added to. Bad form to announce a “death” like that. Take note for future reference

The OP didn't bother to make an effort to supply a source of this fictional news and no effort whatsoever was made to verify this misinformation.

I changed the title, just to be accurate, informative, and ward off any further upset on behalf of the readers.

I'm glad the title of this thread had been corrected.
I honestly don't know why some people refuse to spend five seconds to verify the accuracy of such shocking fictional news.
Perhaps it's just me, maybe my mindset works differently to others.

...We often blame media for sensationalism, this is just one more example..
Re: RIP Evander Holyfield
Well as long as we're talking about lack of effort, it would have took you 3 seconds to open the thread and confirm that the OP was in fact uncertain and had come on to ask whether this was true or not. A query, not a statement of fact.Enlightened-One wrote:There's nothing "honest" about laziness.davie wrote:The guys made an honest mistake.

The thread title was misleading, as I said, no doubt an honest mistake.
Unfortunately however, the internet is full to bursting with arseholes looking for something to be offended by/get angry about

It only took me three seconds for me to provide an article dispelling the shocking rumour posted by the OP.davie wrote:Well as long as we're talking about lack of effort, it would have took you 3 seconds to open the thread and confirm that the OP was in fact uncertain and had come on to ask whether this was true or not.

It would have been quicker for the OP to do this himself rather than creating an attention-grabbing thread with a clickbait title that was a statement rather than a question.
Even when the facts were established, the OP didn’t change the title of this thread until he faced criticism.
I wasn’t the only forum poster who criticised the actions of the OP, but I guess it’s OK for you to single me out, by only criticising me for my outrageously offensive words, such as stating the obvious, which is clearly deeply upsetting to some!

So you're not a phone junky, but your first reaction to a Twitter hoax was to start a thread on Boxrec entitled 'RIP Evander Holyfield'. Yeah ok.PsychoGamerTwo wrote:Sorry, had to work all day, and im not one of those phonejunkies, being online 24/7.Enlightened-One wrote:davie wrote:

He's so seething right now, trying with everything he has not to erupt. Enjoyable.
