They were slower smaller and weaker for that very reason.....can you imagine the Robinson/LaMotta series of fights with todays advances in training/nutrition ? They were unbelievable fights and they were men off the streets in physical comparison....................its like comparing Roger Bannister to Seb Coe......was Coe a FASTER runner of course he was......was he a BETTER runner not necessarily. Bannister was a sprinter, Coe was an 800metres specialist, but I see the analogy and its misleading.Track surfaces and different shoes have helped, and men are bigger , but running is relativ

Oh ok nice one theres a few on the walls in there so could be one of many...i,ll keep an eye out cheers

That's cause it dont matter who they are...Mancs have a saying when someone asks them a non relevant question 'bla bla the cat sat on the matt', they soon learnt to listen, if they dont someone tells em to fone the fire brigade. Please more ........come on do another one

My view is pretty much the same as yours Bryson.....its so hard to gauge a fighter who has never taken a smack on the whiskers the Eubank kid puts me in mind of someone who has spent his life fighting in front of a mirror....but then from what ive heard he,s sparred some good fighters who think highly of him. Billys trainer is having to constantly reel him in regarding Eubank as he knows its a far bigger fight later on with a title on the line than it is now but as you say Billy would take the fight now and thats the mad gypsy thing in him i suppose its just as well his head is on right in as

Great stuff i love reading ol Trimmys posts i never have a clue what he,s on about but its still fun to read him talk about Bob Jeff and Mary walking into the chippy like we should all know who these people are ..... Even on the internet theres folk you just take an instant dislike to but this guys growing on me

Advice For Someone Starting Out...
gnasher16 replied to Mustelid's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
I was using one bpr sent me,nothing wrong with it i just couldnt do it plain and simple i tried every which way i must just be a cackhanded c**t !............ Thats a good video though might give it one last go after watching that -
Do you think he would have dominated the way he did in any other era than the one he fought in Neems ?.........Good boxer with a great chin and conditioning but lets not underestimate how weak the era and how poor the competition he faced was.

Back then fighters like Jess Willard and Primo Carnera were seen as freaks of nature that folk said had no place in a boxing ring......even in the ,s i remember sparring people like Jimmy Oyebola or Funso Banjo who also were seen as freaks,Oyebola must of been 6 ft 9 or 10 maybe....you could out muscle him and break him up on the inside IF you could get there....but getting past their jab was near impossible.....the difference between them and these lads like Fury/Price etc in todays times is these boys are much bigger naturally stronger men than the guys back then.....Oyebola was only around

Beautiful !.....Call me a big soft twat but i get more inspiration from watching that lad run up and down in a straight line than i could get from any daft Jackie Chan spinning roundhouse caper !.......I dont buy into all the silly demonstrations they do against people being demonstrated on......but that fella seems a good man who understands the true values of sport and how it can enrich our lives......thankyou for posting that Wilf.

All that nice greenery,sunshine,got his nice brown jacket on........its quite a romantic setting probably the equivalent of making love under the stars in pig world.

Yes i do remember him mate lived on a site just off the a127,thought it was a good move for him at the time but seemed to just fade i dont know where he is now...............but this is the point im trying to make Billy is no more sensible than the next nutty gypsy kid ......but with proven and experienced boxing people who have been their and done it around him its common sense that he has a far better chance of success.....................why Furys people didnt try and get him in with Joe Gallagher or one of the other top trainers up there i dont know.......its like anything if you want su
-
I suppose its right each to their own...............ive just never really understood what these arts have got to do with " having a tear up ".......which conversations of this nature always end up about...Id like to think ive done enough over the years to feel confident in most exchanges within arms reach,im not really sure how many ways there are to skin a cat but i suppose if you enjoy it and it gets you exercising its all good

so what about Billy Joe Saunders ?? as gnash said very well thought of in the boxing world and a traveller also different team behind he doesn't bang on about being a traveller also very talented and still can't get top billing . Is that because he's a traveller ? Without sounding like a broken record the big difference is from day 1 Billy Joe surrounded himself with PROVEN experienced boxing people.....Tyson Fury surrounded himself with family and friends.......you either act like a professional or you dont................personally i have nothing against travelling lads whatsoever ive
-
I dont disagree with any of that............i just dont understand where Tyson Fury as a sportsman fits in ?...............Please dont terrify me with the assumption you think he has anything that even closely resembles Clay/Ali in terms of personal charisma or sporting interest ??.............Dont forget when Clay did it.....it hadnt been done before,certainly not to the level he took it.......Fury is like a cheap immitation of something he cant quite grasp in the first place,he,s not unique.... no matter how many times you use the words f**k shit c**t slag wank ..........................Muha

With every respect.....who are you to say what is or is not worth the risk for another human being........................for me the risk of lung cancer is not worth the rewarding feeling of smoking,the risk of becoming a complete f**k up is not worth the rewarding feeling of injecting heroin.......but i cant speak for everybody.......for argument sake lets say i have 60 years of quality healthy life 20 of which included taking steroids.......alternatively i could of had 70 years of reasonably ok health not taking steroids................who is anyone to tell me im wrong either way there are d

Without wishing to offend anyone whos into all this malarky its always astonished me just how gullible some folk are when it actually comes to having a tear up !.....I always associated all that hong kong fuey shit with impressionable youngsters with pictures of Bruce Lee on their bedroom walls or grown adults going through a mid life crisis......i mean whats it all about ? once you have read all the books and been taught all the moves by your shaven head monk double dan gandmaster............. what next ?.....fair do,s i must admit it all looks very pretty and im sure it impresses some folk,b

Doesnt surprise me to be honest......you have to wonder about the mental stability of any man who needs multiple names on an internet forum !.....so they,ve run off and started up together have they....how embarrassing ! is it embarrassing for you being on this site ? its just the internet, people take it way too seriously No im not embarrassed coming on the internet......if i had to run off and make my own forum for me and my little friends then yes.... A,it would be embarrassing....and B,id be taking it a little too seriously.

Bit out my depth here just wanted to acknowledge an interesting conversation in a language even i can understand... well in chaps

To compare the hype of Muhammed Ali and Tyson Fury is about as ridiculous as comparing them as fighters !.......As the greatest fighter in heavyweight history during the greatest era in heavyweight history you allow Ali a bit of leeway in terms of his mouth......A fighter like Fury who has done nothing in the weakest ever era of heavyweight boxing is simply embarrassing,and if its hype to sell a fight its not working as the ticket sales for this event proved ! A fighter like Fury takes the spotlight away from good genuine up and coming fighters and thats a shame.....Billy Joe Saunders is f

I could sit here and say exactly the same about smoking,drinking or any recreational type drug......none of them sit right with me and none of them are good for your health......but again who am i to tell another man how to live his life..........why a class c anabolic steroid seems to get folk all hot under the collar i have never understood when the self same people happily attach themself to far more dangerous stuff......for life ! Always puts me in mind of the old " stop f*****g swearing you c**t " statement I wouldn't condemn someone for using them properly,the results some people get
