Hi. You MUST use an. This is the only option you have if you want to be correct.

Usually, we don't use an article with a person's name.

I agree that "an Anthony" is better than "a Anthony" but if you just want to say that Anthony is an immature loser (hardly a nice thing to say, by the way), you don't use an article.

Thanks, this person is stalking me everywhere....I can't say I feel bad for regarding him for what he is.

If the sentence included in the original post is spoken under the pressure of the situation, then that Anthony will be the winner.

Guess who will be the loser...

Someone who can't even stay out of my hallway, etc...and is pretty much following me everywhere I go pretty much sums up a loser.

I believe your grammatical point has been answered so I don't think further discussion on the character of the person is needed.
