Yes, although that doesn't mean Kerry was following proper debating protocol. In fact, I could argue it wasn't debating, it was mudslinging, because it was a political 'debate'. Just like Bush was doing to him. Kerry technically was intellectually dishonest, but that's 'expected' in these types of environments (as ad hominem attacks are the norm, unlike in true debates).

while i agree he debated in very poor taste,the end of his arguement was that louis was not among the very elite in hw champs,his sole purpose was not to bash a fighter or make insults such as someone saying ortiz has a big head

his thread was louis is overrated,not louis or his oppenents are a piece of ****
Well, calling fighters 'bums', 'sorry ass', 'garbage' and so forth for 75-90% of his posts makes it very likely that the sole purpose was to fighter bash (under the guise of making an 'argument' that Louis was overrated). After all, I didn't see any counter-argumentation, just bashing of Louis and his opposition.
