The ,s was a terrible era for heavyweight boxing regardless of the individuals it was all about Don King....most of the fights he staged for the Wbc and Wba he didnt care who won or lost because he owned them both and was robbing them both blind he completely devalued the heavyweight championship of the world.....apart from the fact most of those heavyweights were coked up to the eyeballs many of them didnt train hard or fight hard as they knew they was being stitched up purse wise it was Don Kings heyday he had not only the division sewn up but also the governing bodies....Look at the way he

Thankyou mate.

We,ve got a massive great f****n pond i always liked tropical fish so it seemed like a good idea at the time but to be honest they bore me its not like having a tank where you can watch their habits and what they get up to your just standing looking down on Koi a mate of mine pays silly money for them he shows them and all sorts.....i think a good pond is a nice feature in a garden but if you truly enjoy watching fish id go with a tank all day long.

Make it legal to take the life of a convicted paedophile......have them in the general population of prison systems.......and you see how quickly this " illness " is cured......good old fashioned street justice never did society any harm !

Because not everyones wired up the same,simple......just because someone doesnt feel the want or need to take revenge doesnt mean they lack heart.......infact it probably means they have more heart than most.

Of course it is......but it has to work both ways and when Tyson was up against it he folded.....thats typical bully mentality,due to his iconic nature in some folks eyes they are willing to skim over that and give him excuses.........you keep talking about Holmes vulnerability to a right hand but you dont mention Tysons failure to be able to get round a good jab to land that right hand......and we,re not talking about an average jab.......if you are classing Michael Spinks and Tony Tucker as all time great heavyweights then thats stretching the imagination a little too far dont you think.

Stone me what a picture !.....Id imagine you could sit waiting years and never capture something like that......hope it is real.

Nice looking birds them Raymond......tell me chaps,is a silver Greenfinch still a Greenfinch ?......i saw some cracking birds yesterday that were marked up as Greenfinches but a few of them were a very bright silver......lovely birds i was half tempted but the bloke didnt seem to know much more than i did.

No......you was right the first time..... ive had many conversations with Frank over the years about those fights and he willingly admits he was intimidated by not only the man but the occasion itself......for want of a better expression he froze and simply never got his shots off.....A great quality Tyson had was the relaxed intensity he could get in a ring with ( natural fighting mentality )......Frank never had that natural fighting mentality and much as he had the intensity it was never relaxed and being so draining its partly why after 3 rounds he was mentally and physically spent. Im
-
Because as you rightly say they didnt throw it !!!......Ive been on the recieving end of many a Frank Bruno jab and i tell you this for nothing its no fun !!....But same as the others he barely threw it and certainly with no conviction.....and yes for the reasons you state.........but similarly to what you say about " since when has being labelled a hard puncher made you a world class fighter".....well since when has being " scarey " made you a world class fighter ? What happened when Tyson started fighting people who were not scared of him ?.....oh wait i guess its time to bring the excus
-
Now your just being silly......Holmes had probably the best jab in the divisions history and Tyson never could get past a decent jab.....and had no plan b to do so. If you can tell me what round Thomas threw 1 ( yes just one ) effective punch i,ll go back and watch it.....but as with many of those other journeyman champions they were merely surviving not competing. As for Shavers.....if Ali says he was the hardest puncher in history thats good enough for me to class him as a better than average fighter......i can never see what folk like yourself base your theories on regards Tysons gr
-
Thats a bit harsh the Bonecrusher/Witherspoon era was probably worse than this one id fancy Fury over either of those......Dont get me wrong i think Fury has plenty of faults that his sheer size and strength are keeping him out of trouble,if he was a normal size human being i dont think he,d even win a British title on boxing alone......but these are the times he,s operating in and good luck to him he,s got to make the most of it......personally i think if/when he comes up against a top fighter of his size who can box a bit his flaws will be exposed but i hope he gets in makes a few bob and ni
-
Wow !......That made interesting reading.....cant say as i agree entirely but i can see your way of thinking.
-
Thomas didnt throw a punch in 6 rounds theres no excuse or reason for that in a boxing match.....Williams wasnt allowed to continue after a flash knockdown.......you keep saying Shavers was an average fighter personally id say any man who is universally recognised as the hardest puncher in history has to go down as slightly above average......and to be honest ive not seen the scorecards but the reality is he was extended by very average fighters !.....It doesnt take an expert to see the type of opponents Tyson struggled with i fail to see any reason to think the best Tyson could of beat the be

4 hour wait ?....what on earth are you talking about ?.......your words have a familiar tone i see you have only been on here a month or so was you on here before in a different name by any chance ?.......what you getting all arsey for and saying im jealous just because i dont agree with something you sound a right div have a read up about the sport son you might learn something.
-
I couldnt give a monkeys what it sounds like to you i gave an opinion on boxing theres nothing to get emotional about When he gets into the later rounds of a hard testing fight i,m sure you,ll find out why most young fighters go with experienced boxing trainers instead of fitness fanatics

Mcguigan is selling the kid on the back of his own popularity simple as that.....thats ok i suppose but lets have it right if he genuinely had the boys best interests at heart he would of had him with a seasoned experienced boxing trainer instead of somebody with a level 3 strength & conditioning degree who happens to be his son !! Jealous ...spent many a morning sitting wrapping hands with Barry back years ago he was a lovely lad and a pleasure to know......doesnt mean i have to agree with everything he,s done since he,s been out the game like the cricketer fiasco......but i wouldnt

Are you mad...............................i wouldnt be seen dead in boots like that !

Nice to see clubs that are still in touch with their fans the chap sounds like a fans fan.
-
A referee isnt just there to see fair play he,s there to encourage a good fight.......personally i thought it was a fair stoppage Fury had proved what needs proving and thats simply who the better fighter is on the night. As for Furys antics and singing the only people laughing along or making noise were his own clan everyone else was just standing around shaking their heads in disbelief....that sort of stuff dont go down too well round these parts.
-
I wish these silly old fuckers like Eubank and Mcguigan would just piss off and let these kids do their thing instead of jumping in front of the cameras trying to hang onto every last bit of attention they can get.....your times gone boys just accept it ! Expected outcomes and good peformances the Eubank kid has some engine !
-
If im not mistaken Eddie Futch gave up on Bowe and refused to train him as he wouldnt diet or train properly.....Ibeabuchi V Lewis would of been a cracking fight dont you think ?......a strange one for me Mick was Corrie Sanders i remember watching him knock out Klitchko and wondering why id not paid much attention to him before he looked a million dollars in that fight....even Bonecrusher you could say was wasted talent after giving Holmes a good fight he blasts Witherspoon out in a round and then feebly surrenders for 12 rounds to Tyson !....It could be said a lot of them ,s fighters like Ta
-
Of all the dead bodies Tyson knocked over in them early days they were 2 of the worst fights of all.......Thomas didnt throw a punch in 6 petrified rounds and Williams well that wasnt even a fight......what makes you think Tyson could of got past Holmes jab to put him down ? he couldnt get past very average jabs like Tucker/Green/Smith when he was in this " prime " what reason is there to think he could get past the greatest jab in the history of the division ?.......and if he couldnt what would his plan b of been ? he didnt have one.

Nearly got in a full scale punch up over this earlier !......About 6 of us all arguing over the colour of a dress ......blue and brown for me.
