Eduardo is working his way up the ladder in the world of amateur boxing. He makes a stinging remark about his next opponent on TV by saying that his opponent is a coward who probably practices boxing by beating up his wife. Which of the following is true?

Eduardo is being defamatory because his remarks may harm his opponent’s reputation.
Eduardo is not being defamatory because his remarks are statements of opinion only.
Eduardo is not being defamatory because it is obvious that the statement must be false.
Eduardo is being defamatory because the information he published is true.

The correct answer is letter "A": Eduardo is being defamatory because his remarks may harm his opponent’s reputation.

Explanation:

Defamation is the act by which one individual or organization states something about another party as true without proven facts and typically negatively affecting that other party. In such cases, the party affected can sue the defamatory party so the statement causing the dispute can be evaluated. If it is not true, the affected party can request monetary compensation for slander.

Thus, Eduardo is being defamatory by saying that his next box opponent beats up his wife since he does not have proof of such actions. Eduardo is likely trying to dismiss his opponent's reputation.
