Hey TA, plase drop the gimmick accounts and STFU!
TA DOES whine and has done so many a time. He also doesn't say exactly what he thinks all of the time because he KNOWS some of the stuff he types on these boards is complete and utter b.s. (that would be LYING).
with all due respect chris, and i do respect you for being another that has backed up your talk and as pretty genuine (more than ta in a lot of ways), i'm not a gimmick.
ta bullshits a lot (225 d/lifts for 112, 10000 calories a day and stay lean

but he does back it up now and then and he sticks to his story in spite of the opposition.
i haven't kept up to date with his pissing contests with you or anyone else (can't be bothered with that shit to be honest). i avoid those threads usually, but i love fighting and the possibility (no matter how remote) of a couple of bbers actually fighting is too enticing. bbers never actually fight you see, because usually their egos couldn't bare the possibility of losing after they've talked it up so much (ego again). they suddenly realise as they get close to fight night and reality kicks in, that they are NOT actually fighters

they are the opposite (show not go) and they find every excuse possible to back away.
i do see relevant info coming from him now and then though. he could be a little girl on steroids for all i know, but that's just it, it's only a message board and he's only ta to me. i read pages and pages of bullshit and every now and then i find a gem. hint: there is NO such thing as integrity on a message board. if you're expecting it then you need to stay away or you'll go nuts.
what have i ever got from whateva, nothing. he is a non entity. he contributes absolutely nothing but occasional whining about ta and then waits for everyone to champion his cause. 'there there whateva

'
then he enters a comp knowing that he's got a 1000 mile advantage over everyone else and just sits back and collects the winnings. if you can't see the obvious huge advantage an experienced competitor has over members that have never even entered a novice am comp before then i'm sorry but i have to question your cred in the industry.
you can call ta a sore loser but he was dead on when he called out whateva and i don't really blame him for being a little pissed about it, or any of the other guys that actually went to the effort of giving it a go thinking all the while that they were competing against their peers.
whateva isn't even a poster here. he was probably just lurking around the internet looking for a gift. again, well done whateva. you're such a pro.
