ignoramus = a person who knows nothing: a stupid and silly person: an idiot: a person that does not have the knowledge you think they ought to have.
Synonyms: dunce, fool, áss, donkey etc.
Are those that thought Krusher had a chance, not matter how remote, “ignoramuses” for thinking there was a possibility he could potentially beat Canelo?
Should we continue to admire him for citing excuses for his defeat, consequently undermining Canelo's feat in an unsportsmanlike manner, coupled with his money-grab, defeatist and fraudulent behaviour (due to depriving people of their hard-earned money)?
Think it's hilarious.
It was pretty obvious he turned up for a pay day.
And why shouldn't he after those two Vegas fights against Ward already messed with the guy's legacy.
Some sensitive souls are going to be upset by this because it diminishes Canelo's incredible win (one where he had everything set up in his favour Again)
Well, a big part of fans indeed don't know a sh!t about boxing, they just want to watch two men punch each other and they watch majorly the most popular fights. Actually it's like that not only with boxing. It's this way with every mainstream entertainment, with sports in general, music, movies, etc.

Yes, we are ignoramuses, as we didn't expect him to resign even before entering the ring. Yes, Canelo had most if not all trump cards, but Kovalev still had chances if he had fought like a man. Ward clearly smashed his balls.

I remember this word from Matilda.
Never actually heard anyone say it.
Matilda the movie????
Yeh.. DeVito's real wife said it..
[Matilda arrives home late from school]
Harry:
Young lady, where were you?
Matilda:
Ms. Trunchbull kept the whole school late 'cause this boy ate some chocolate cake.
Harry:
That's the biggest lie I ever heard! You see those packages over there? They were left out there for the world to see because you weren't here to take them in!
Zinnia:
Well, I don't think it's fair, bumpkins. [hands Harry a stick of marshmallows]
Harry:
What?
Zinnia:
You get all this stuff from catalogs, and I don't get anything!
Harry:
It's not catalogs, it's car parts, sweetness. It's business.
Zinnia:
Oh, if it's business, why don't you have it sent to the office?
Harry:
Because the cops may be watching the office.
Matilda:
[as she makes herself a sandwich] The cops are watching the house.
Harry:
What?
Matilda:
They're parked outside right now.
Zinnia:
You are such an ignoramus! Those are speedboat salesman, really nice guys.
Matilda:
Cops.
Harry:
[looks out the window and sees Agents Bob and Bill in their car] Speedboats? There are no lakes around here.
Zinnia:
Yeah, but some people like to go away on the weekends. Some people have fun.
Matilda:
And some people are cops.
Harry:
They are not cops!
Matilda:
Are too.
Harry:
They are not! I ought to know if there's cops watching my house! Now go to bed, you lying little earwig!
