  1. Maybe being driven IS the enjoyment......its a different type of riches but truly enjoying making money can be more rewarding than the money itself.......dont you remember in Only Fools & Horses after Del had got his millions from that Sothebys auction the next day he was back on the phone to Monkey Harris or whoever it was doing a deal on some toasters ......i totally get that. Anyway i was certainly living the dream last night beating them dirty Yids again

    Poverty

    Not from what I read constantly on this site and frankly coming out of every 'working man's' mouth. Haven't you heard? Apparently it's not the poor hard done by working man's fault for taking a loan that he can't manage, it's the lender's fault! See that's how society works now, we're not responsible for our own actions, it's every one else's fault. Makes perfect sense to me! Why do the British hate freedom and responsibility so much? I can see Labour having a landslide. It's straight out of their mantra. My nephew was made redundant. He has two kids. His rent was astronomical but
  3. I have no time for folk who dont have dreams it shows a lack of ambition we should all try to be the best we can be physically,mentally or financially.......my brother is the worlds worst for settling for second best with a " what will be will be " attitude he had exactly the same upbringing as me and has moaned and whinged his way through life with no dreams,goals or aspirations.....im not perfect by any means but any goal i ever set myself i reached and then set bigger ones,plenty of bumps and bruises along the way but its all part of achieving in my opinion.
  4. I sparred James Oyebola back in the late ,s im sure he was 6 ft 10 or 11......before the spar i told him he should go and join the circus.....after the spar i said forget the circus you aint bad at this boxing lark ......smashing big lad he was God rest his soul.
  5. Ive said for a long time id like to see fighters weighed in before the fight in the ring itself......what reason is there not to ?....you get 2 fit healthy fighters at the weight they are best able to perform.
  6. I might be wrong but wasn't it you who said Klitchsko would do that to Jo Apart from Wilder who is 6ft 8 is it ? im not sure there is anyone else around the size of Fury......im not entirely sure what point you are making mate,sure theres plenty of good gym fighters out there but a fighter can only be judged in competition and so a fighter whos greatest attribute is his size is never going to be popular. As for how a Joshua/Fury fight would go im of the belief that a guy like Fury can wing it and fiddle his way through the odd fight without getting exposed......but nobody can fiddle
  7. An authorisation for the use of intrusive surveillance can only be granted by the director of Soca,a Chief Constable or HMRC......and only for the detection of serious crime or in the interests of national security. If you chin the geezer down your local boozer you havent got to sweep your home for bugs
  8. In the words of John McEnroe.....You cannot be serious ......or is my laptop bolloxed !
  9. Is that different to an over active active ?...........sorry couldnt resist

    Good to see folk looking after their own....fair do,s and all that. f****n sad state of affairs when a bloke gets penalised for doing the right things.
  11. Sod the towers i enjoyed the article about using omnipresent radiation like cosmic muons for imaging.........right up my street all that.
  12. Who are these other 6 ft 9 heavyweights mate ?....not digging you out i just genuinely dont know. I dont think anyone has said Fury is crap you dont become a pro fighter by being crap whatever size you are........but on God given talent and ability ( which will be what it will be regardless of size ) i dont think he would even be British Title level as a 5 ft 10 " middleweight......as an example John Ryder has more pure boxing ability,better punch delivery,punch accuracy and variation in his little finger than Fury has in his entire being yet he,s never even won a British Title !
  13. So what's your take on it gnasher.Are you a believer or a non believer.in what Greyman and socks are saying. I dont really have a take on it.....a few of my own thoughts but im a relative newcomer to the countryside so not really entitled to an actual opinion thats why something like this is so frustrating its an interesting carrot being dangled and without seeing the footage i cant really see how anyone could form an opinion......unless of course they have their own experiences/sightings.....which i dont.
  14. Fine words.......words to be proud of both.
  15. Same here i like ol Dogman i was just like him when i was about 16..... just angry at the world and everybody in it,no f****r actually liked me they just wanted to be around me to see me go on the turn and do something nutty every 5 minutes Dogman if you make a man an offer he cant refuse........good will and manners usually go out the window
  16. I think we,ve had a similar conversation before Wilf so i dont want to antagonize you but would you say you are ashamed of being English ? I had all these " is the grass greener " type of questions and it took me all of about 5 minutes to realise that yes it is.....but that still doesnt change who i am and where im from im a big rough kid off the estate im not ashamed of that who am i to turn my back on where im from. What Chris said is right if you dont like the situation then make changes and that for me is another part of the whole " living the dream " thing in that all be it small ch
  17. Its like trying to do a juggling trick with balloons who the f**k knows how a picture of a big cat looks without seeing a picture of a big cat i cant believe ive let myself buy into this madness the chap above is right !
  18. An old boxing trainer from these parts who has trained world champions and probably forgotten more about the sport than i will ever know put it to me like this...... " you would like to think that the greatest prize in sport would require a little bit of God given skill and ability "........" that it would require more than just hard work "........" that it would not be reliant on physical size " Cant say i disagree to be honest.......should you be able to make a decent living without great skill/ability ? sure i did ......should you be able to reach the pinnacle of world sport.......it j
  19. No he,s not he,s what we used to call in the old days a box fighter.......punchers/sluggers are not concerned with scoring points they totally commit to getting the finish and rely on their punch to win the fight......just because a fighter hits hard doesnt make them a puncher/slugger.I was talking about him being a big hitter, when you say someone is a puncher most of the time you're on about their power. Wlad is a classic boxer/puncher. Exactly a box fighter go,s in the ring with a completely different mindset to a pure puncher.....a puncher/slugger is going to try to take you out and
  20. Thats about the long and the short of it....................long and the short get it Dunno what im so happy about ! I disagree i dont think he is crap he,s useful but certainly not a world level fighter without ridiculous physical advantages that are beefed up by a safety first style....likewise the Russian giant Valuev wasnt very good yet he was a 2 x world champion. Without his size I doubt he'd even be a top ten European fighter. But as you say he has his size and has used it to get where he needs Bit of a daft way of looking at things,if Fury wasn't bigger than his opponents he'd
  21. Must admit i thought the " illiterate " bit was a strange one as well.
  22. If i took a picture just of my ol chap it would look quite big.......but if i put a box of matches in the same picture We can all find another device to fall back on How can you tell that a cat is big with nothing to scale it to.
  23. Thats about the long and the short of it....................long and the short get it Dunno what im so happy about ! I disagree i dont think he is crap he,s useful but certainly not a world level fighter without ridiculous physical advantages that are beefed up by a safety first style....likewise the Russian giant Valuev wasnt very good yet he was a 2 x world champion.
  24. just had look stan , what Schadenfreude ment lol There is no translation in English mate, but Stan, I'm with you ! Lol You boys are too polite......normally i would never laugh at another fans misery as i know what its like to get relegated. But if somebody is going to constantly book themselves as your enemies and dream up some pretend rivalry then f**k it. The massive....The gravy .....talk about make a complete c**t of it !!
  25. No he,s not he,s what we used to call in the old days a box fighter.......punchers/sluggers are not concerned with scoring points they totally commit to getting the finish and rely on their punch to win the fight......just because a fighter hits hard doesnt make them a puncher/slugger.
