That cant be right mate you dont get world title shots with a 7-7-1 record at a guess id say he probably had 40-50 fights winning a lot more than he lost otherwise why get a title shot i know he was beaten by Emille Griffith quite easily.......but he was a good fighter no doubt about it.......i dont know much about his case but i cant see the wbc honouring a known murderer so must of been enough reason to think he was wrongly convicted......but like i say i dont know the ins and outs. Got me curious now think i,ll try and give the film a look

With that you could also do away with the multi million pound business of sports supplement products,herbal medicine and a whole bunch of stuff.......but the reality is if someone is getting something from a product and its not doing them any harm...............wheres the problem.

For f**k sake not another gypsy thread ....maybe someone should start selling " gypsy costumes " so we can all be one...or at least pretend to be

Nothing to do with Hollywood distortion mate Carter was a very good fighter fought Emiile Griffith for the world title,also lost to Dick Tiger both legendary names of that era......theres a film about him played by Denzel Washigton who plays the part real well so im told......he was given an honourary belt by the wbc after his release.....im not even sure if he,s still alive to be honest he,d have to be in his late 70,s i only know what ive been told by folk old enough to remember.
-
Like i said....scum !.....I forget now if Bobby was his brother son or cousin .... but they were like chalk and cheese everyone liked Bobby he was a bit scatty but a likeable fella yet Johnny was hated even when he was fighting....last time i spoke to Bobby he was on a murder charge ....dont know if he was aquitted or not....i try to steer clear of some folk
-
Dont think so mate.....the one we,re on about here fought at light heavy .....he had a couple of good fights with Chris Finnegan might of even won a British title in one of them im not too sure.....
-
Right ok i didnt think id heard of him........i think that was only an interim title that Casey fella fought for but still a top fighter nonetheless didnt he win a European title im sure i remember him winning one of the prizefighter tournaments though i might be getting him mixed up with someone else.......featherweight or bantamweight or something....i dont really like them prizefighter tournaments i just cant resist that York Hall atmosphere though
-
Not sure who Michael Smith is/was but certainly not a European champion in the pros......thing is it takes a lot more than big balls to go anywhere in the sport plenty of these travelling lads will have a tear up fair do,s.....but that will only take you so far.....skill,talent and a big chunk of dedication come into play as soon as you leave the caravan park ......the kid Billy Joe Saunders has the right idea he got away from all that bullshit and got himself into a good little club as a youngster and did things the right way.......he,s a pleasant kid with manners and a great temperament for
-
Never worn one myself but some folk swear by them.....all to do with the copper being absorbed by the skin for the relief of joint pain or something like that.....what the difference could be to taking some kind of oral supplement i dont know,but if folk think they are getting benefit good luck to them.
-
People have been having straighteners for years......i think the Snatch film coupled with these boys filming their punch ups have led to a lot of impressionable young lads thinking its " cool " as you say.....A bit like when Tyson came on the seen and the younguns started calling their dogs " Tyson ".........usually lads who would never dream of having a fight but like to watch others....funny enough.
-
Dont know if you mean the father or son but they,re both passed on......i forget the relationship now but i knew Bobby Frankham back in the ,s he was a decent pro and a nice fella.....again i cant remember the relationship but Johnny Frankham was an absolute scumbag....but again,was a decent boxer. Bobby was banned from the pro game for smacking a referee after stopping him early.
-
no i know mate i wasnt directing that at you i just meant in general.........whatever has led to this obssesion with gypsy fighting i dont know....but its not good for boxing in my opinion and definately not youngsters. I dont think boys should be introduced to any sport that young but thats only my opinion and thats only from a sporting point of view not a parents...so not saying im right like.
-
4 ... Stone me !! and i thought our ol fella started us young...... Personally i believe anyone getting their youngsters into boxing should steer as far away from this gypsy stuff as possible.....if you wanted your lad to be the next Beckham or Rooney you wouldnt take them to watch sunday morning pub football you would want them watching and learning from pros...........same applies to boxing......Its a beautiful sport but set them off on the right foot would be my advice.
-
Ive never understood the Tyson/Ali argument....what possible reason is there to think Tyson would have stood a chance......All Tyson had going for him was a knockout punch.....a knockout punch that was nowhere near as hard as Foremans,Ron Lyles or probably the hardest puncher in heavyweight history Earnie Shavers....and none of them could knock Ali out ! Ali would have played with him,Ali always found a way to win Tyson couldnt do that .......If it took Holyfield 3 rounds to frustrate him into quitting can you imagine how frustrated Ali would have had him !
-
Have you ever seen the Fluval G6 filters mines very similar to them....real complicated shit im still trying to get my nut round it......you control everything from a laptop !....im thick as shit when it comes to computers so its probably taking me longer than most folk to get to grips with it.... Ive had big Discus tanks before with just normal sponge filters,with Discus the water changes are so important the filter dont really get a chance to build up too much,because they are almost constantly in fresh water the sponges suffice....but must admit ive gone a touch overboard with this new tan
-
I cant believe some of you lads are mentioning Mike Tyson in the same sentance as Muhammed Ali ................Its like comparing Ricky Hatton to Sugar Ray Leonard !! All the best to the great man,regardless of the guts,talent and desire he showed in the ring........living with that illness the last 30 years takes some doing.....must admit i dont really like watching him being paraded around anymore its painful to watch.
-
Dont get a multigym mate they dont allow natural movement and you,ll soon outgrow it strength wise.If you really must train alone then a smiths machine would be a better bet than a multigym or a cage..............training at home is hard work that takes real dedication to stay motivated and work with full intensity......if you join a good gym nobody will judge you....you,ll be given good advice and learn more just from watching others........your enthusiasm and intensity level will stay much higher in a gym but you must have the correct mindset and not get into the macho bullshit that some gym

Surely if breeding dogs is your " profession " you really should know your breeds standard !
-
Is being " responsible " breeding physically grotesque specimens to look like bloated out hippos ? no.....but plenty of kc breeders do it !......not saying you do by the way.....but the irresponsible owner is sometimes the second irresponsible person in the lifetime of some dogs and the damage is already done.
-
I still think that was possibly the best opening round ive ever seen in a contest,simple because of the magnitude of the event......quite often massively built up fights turn out to be a let down because of the hype.......but that first round just wasnt expected....very rarely do 2 fighters of such a high standing in such a huge event come out and just try to get the other out of there. The Gatti-Ward fights were good honest bouts that had some great moments but Hagler - Hearns being one of the most anticipated fights of that decade makes it a better fight for me. The Reg Gutteridge commenta

I use an ro/hma mix....tap water is reasonably hard round here so its essential really if you want to see the fish at their best.....i was into Discus back years ago when they were considered specialist fish but these days they are much more common,that said theres some real poor specimens being sold that i wouldnt touch with a barge pole its not so much tap water folk are just breeding poor specimens....ive bred the odd time but i leave that sort of thing to cleverer people than myself !....I had this tank specially made it was supposed to be 1000 litres but came out just over at 1030 the fil
-
Be surprised what these little c**ts get up to nowadays......dragging some poor little mutt off the streets and letting their big bad red nose munch on it for 10 minutes......in America i think they call them " bait dogs " ...................sad but true.
-
No i dont go on the forums mate i nick the occasional idea but nothing more.....its a discus tank i have a fair size one indoors and another at work but wanted just one time to really go for it ....water is heated and treated in a shed 50 foot away so theres absolutely nothing but fish in the tank...well thats the plan anyway its probably about 2 thirds done i,ll get some pictures when completed.

ok great .....im 99% decided then.

Is that a fact..............................it took me a minute,but i got there
