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.
-
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.

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 !!

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.

Joshua is a 3 year pro who only laced gloves on for the first time less than 10 years ago. Fury is a 9 year pro who laced gloves on as soon as he could walk apparently. Oh that reminds me.

I think its great that another likeminded chap is convinced having seen the evidence maybe we all would be if we saw it......but then Socks is hardly a big cat or photographic expert and is also of the opinion big cats are out there anyway so its not exactly an un biased opinion.....it certainly seems like Greyman has seen something.....but i cant help thinking that more people who WANT to find the Loch Ness Monster have seen " something " than those who couldnt give a monkeys. Just out of curiosity what was in the footage to give it some sort of scale i understand it being easy to judge b

The Scaphoid is literally the size of a peanut and thats the biggest of those bones......its a complicated little area thats for sure.
-
Maybe,i just think its best tool for the job....call me old fashioned. I cant see anything " smart " about them dogs whatsoever they just look like appalling animals out of a cartoon to me so i cant see the logic in breeding them with something just as bad........why do you think the blacks and the pakis stay apart
-
Another way of looking at that would be to ask if Joshua would be Furys worst nightmare........i dont think Joshua suits a toe to toe tear up he doesnt have the upper body movement......but what he is good at is tracking down runners and pinning a moving target....particularly when that target is of little physical threat back to him.Sorry that didn't read to clear I actually meant fury would be ortiz's worse nightmare... Its going to be interesting to see who AJ fights next don't think Wilder will be ready I haven't got much enthusiasm for the klit rematch and tyson won't be ready I don't see

What do you mean had them screwed? My hands are smashed to bits,only got a couple of metacarpals left that are the same shape as they're meant to be,I keep meaning to go and get them seen but apparently they just re-break them. They call it " rigid fixation "......if its a displaced fracture they normally screw it to line it back up....i think its 8 different carpal bones we have....the scaphoid,lunate,capitate are a few others i forget their names now ive had quite a few surgeries,a couple of times to remove floating bone fragments where like you say my hands were literally smashed..

Its good to finally watch him playing a scouser in something he,s a good actor but has a moody cockney accent in things ive seen him in. Playing the parts well them parents......its a sad reality im afraid where good decent innocent folk get caught up in the nastier side of goings on in city life....poor little lad.
-
I cant remember now if Scaphoids and Carpals are the same thing but ive done loads of bones in that region over the years had them screwed and all sorts let me tell you now its none too pleasant years later in cold weather when the old arthritis starts to set in to them joints you wont even be able to hold dominoes let alone play with them......you,ll be safer in the gym i reckon

Statistics and boxing just dont work in my opinion......put it this way as a former fighter i can tell you hand on heart i would rather take 20 punches off Fury than 1 off Joshua

Why on earth would anybody look for 2 breeds of dog who have been totally f****d over to the point that they are completely useless at the jobs they were bred to do and say " i know lets breed them together thats a good idea "

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

Hesitancy plays havoc on your timing .....i didnt notice his timing being off for the rest of the fight.....infact id go as far as to say that was the best,most nimble and energised Klitchsko ive seen in years. I think the best Wlad looked in recent years was his fight with the unbeaten Pulev,timing and accuracy spot on,wasted nothing.It was a top performance that night for Wlad . Yep Pulev was meant to be the new beast but Wlad wiped him out. People forget that Wlad had looked poor in his previous fight before Fury when he laboured to a decision against Jennings, he's past it it's as simpl

Unless theres some obviously distinguishing landmark or sign of some sort in the footage are people seriously going to be able to recognise a piece of land by some trees/bushes etc The simple answer is yes in a lot of cases. Any person worth their salt knows their ground like the back of their hand. Trees and shrubs have features that change very little over the year, stone walls, tree stumps all have individual facets that make them unique. As I said it is unlikely, but possible that the ground could be recognised. TC I cant see someone being able to recognise a tree or bush in

Yet if Josh had walked in and ironed him out in 1 round folk would be saying " well that don't prove he can take a punch or has any heart or can go into the later rounds or can hold his power for 12 or or or or " ....its funny how different folk view sport in different ways.

Just out of curiosity what is the source of this " article " Dogman ? Judging by the content its clearly not somebody with boxing experience.....and judging by the vocabulary its clearly not a journo/reporter.......so who/what/where etc ?

Wish i hadn't asked Chris

Incidentally,when doing all these silly comparisons with Fury lets get a few things in perspective. 1.Joshua survived his first real gut check last night against the greatest heavyweight of his generation....Fury survived his first real gut check against some Polish cab driver i cant even remember his name. 2.Joshua is at least 6 or 7 fights away from being the best fighter he can possibly be......can Fury ever be any better than he is right now ? Just a few things to keep in mind

Havent looked through all these posts i skipped through a load having nearly pissed my pants laughing so much so apologies if i repeat anything already said.....the thing a lot of folk just cant seen to get their head round is Joshua is a novice boxer,a 3 year pro who makes mistakes.....what he said in the ring afterwards i thought was beautiful to hear from a world champion " Im not perfect....but im trying ".............what more do people want from the boy !! He answered all the questions asked of him regards chin/heart.....he proved he can hold his power over 12 rounds,ride through sti
