Couldnt agree more....i have always maintained the one thing that killed the apbt breed in this country was they became popular as pet dogs........i believe in an old saying with this breed which is......." the further away from the pit they go the more trouble will come ".............if formula 1 cars ever became popular everyday transport there will be trouble on our roads....but in the hands of the people who compete with them theres no problem........high performance does not fit in with our everyday life it should be reserved for where it belongs.............like i say,this breed is as pr

I couldnt answer about the other breeds but regards the apbt there seems to be this strange theory in recent years that game bred apbt,s are/were in some way great temperament trustworthy reliable dogs.......they wasnt and are not.......yes there are plenty that are,but theres also a fair few that are not.....i detest the idiots breeding this breed who have no place being around such dogs......but dont be fooled into thinking there were not just as many bad eggs if not more in years gone by......look at the ,s when the breed and sport was at its height.....a fair few top performance dogs were

name='Bulldogman' timestamp='1312232189' post='2175105'] the only dogs i have ever come across who have never given off ANY sign of immiment attack have been game bred pits and these were not MA. Maybe you have just been very lucky..........there are just as many unfortunate incidents with apbt,s bred for purpose than there is with any other breed,probably more.......the difference is the sporting apbt is usually in the hands of an owner who accepts that a dog bred for extreme high levels of aggression and tenacity can sometimes direct it in the wrong way...........hence many attack

Nice pic.......the little fella looks happy enough in there................................so what you gonna use the spare room for

Why do folk always want to change things.........this website is bang on nothing needed changing......what i know about this sort of technology you could write on a stamp and im sure Mr Ian B has his reasons so who am i to critisize...........but as the old saying says....." if it aint broke it dont need fixing "

Tyson always struggled with tall fighters,Bonecrusher Smith,Green,Tillis,Ribalta......were all far inferior fighters to Tyson but all gave him problems and took him the distance.....and they were all around 6 foot 4/5.......Klitchsko is a far better boxer than those with far better movement and a far better jab...and .he is also 3 or 4 inches even taller.........Personally i think it would have been an interested fight that would go either way.

For me it says more about the UFC as an organisation that it is willing to allow washed up out of shape ex boxers to mix it with their premier fighters without ever having fought before.....look at the farcical childrens comic type fiasco when they got the strongman lump Pudzianowski in to fight Tim Sylvia,an ex world champion !! I also,dont criticise the sport....i criticise those running it ! Can you imagine any of the boxing organisations allowing a washed up out of shape Randy Couture in to a boxing ring having never stepped in one before....to fight Klitksco for his world title......

What you getting excited about ...You,ve entered into a debate so make your points and reasons and lets talk......but dont start getting all defensive and victimised if you dont know what to say next,thats just silly. Of course boxing has picked up a fan base over time,and that fan base is as strong now as it ever was.....the young fellas who have fallen into the ufc trend will have you think otherwise,but the FACTS tell its own story. This " entertainment " you keep mentioning.......its top level sport,not a reality tv show...it doesnt have to be entertaining it has to be of a high standa

Exactly what i was thinking Infact,the poor f****n animal is going to have a tougher job surviving its own body than it is a few splits on its boat !

I agree with Simoman,if you intend continuing to be around dogs you just got to get straight back in the saddle,so to speak......a bad attack will effect different people in different ways.....i was involved in a very nasty attack a long time ago,my mindset was to accept it was a freak occurence from 1 bad dog.....the next few weeks being around dogs was nervy but the confidence soon builds up again and it does infact leave you with better skills at reading situations... Physically wounds heal hopefully with no lasting damage,mentally it can take longer if you allow it to get the better of yo

I was told earlier today that George Graham,Jim Mclean,Tommy Docherty and Craig Brown were all born within that same 25 mile radius.......im not suggesting these were on that same level of greatness......just strikes me as an amazing little statistic thats all ......Thats now 9 or 10 who managed at the very highest level 4 or 5 of which would go on any world list of all time greats.............all born within 25 miles of each other !.....Unbelievable really.

I know a lot of genuine fight fans....but i dont know any who all they want to see is " blood and guts "......if you want to watch blood and guts watch a horror film or go stand outside a nightclub on a friday night..... Genuine fight fans want to see technical ability,guts,athleticsm and every quality that makes a fighter a good one.....blood and guts doesnt even come into it. Your not seriously comparing the stitches a ufc fighter might get to the serious life changing injuries suffered in boxing rings year in year out. " to the average joe public boxing is going downhill " they was sa

What a let down......i thought it was building up to a pic of a nice big plate of grub......sod the scenery wheres the dinner .....nice pics

Must admit id be a touch dubious about meeting a bird whos interests and hobbies included laying snares,butchering pigs or skinning rabbits ......Theres some mental pictures you can have of ladies ....skinning and gutting bunnies is just not one of them !

Its worth remembering the people who run the sport of " mma "....sold it out long ago,dont forget this was originally sold to the public as " a real fight "....no holds barred ? cage fighting ? no rules fighting ?....they quickly decided against that idea and started to call it mixed martial arts when tv companies refused to air it and certain states banned it......today it has more rules than any other combat sport and is certainly not a real fight.Thats a massive turnaround of the entire sport in around 15 years.....In well over 100 years the rules of boxing have never changed. As for boxe

Thats what i would find the sad part.....it used to be Anyway i wont be negative on a jock footie thread

No matter if its 25 or 35 miles the fact is boys thats a remarkable statistic that 4 of the greatest managers in the history of the game came from the same area.....must be something in the water up there.

Without getting too in depth....its much easier to generate power when punching upwards than it is punching downwards !! Punching downwards is just an arm punch.....punching upwards you generate much more power through your legs and hips,look at Mike Tyson as an example......very few extremely tall fighters are hard or explosive punchers,and Fury will more than likely never be either,for that reason.......that doesnt mean he cant have a good career it just means he must play to his strengths.....I used to spar regularly with a fella named Funso Banjo who was a decent domestic level fighter

oh ok so i wasnt a million miles out....seem to remember him slumped in the dug out im sure i watched it on telly......

Im no fan of the EDL i think they are a waste of useful energy that could be going to a far better cause but in a similar direction.......but in all fairness,i think the lad interviewed by Paxman on that clip carried himself very well....personally i think all the demonstrations and football hoolie type bollocks does far more harm than good.....but this fella put his points across very well and it would be hard for any normal person to argue with what he said.....i,ll be looking into more of what this fella has to say.

How you doing sir....some good info there. That 30 miles thing,a friend of mine told me that a few weeks back....i told him " piss off what do you know about it " Must be fact if im hearing the same thing again.....incredible feat that will never ever be repeated....i love statistics like that. Didnt Jock Stein have a heart attack and die during a game ? or am i getting him mixed up with Tommy Cooper .....Also,i wonder how close George Graham would come to that little group.... Just one other thing that same mate of mine told me.Stein,Shankly,Busby,Ferguson.....were all born with

.....some folk are so impressionable.

What it really shows is the desperation of the ufc as an organisation and mma as a sport An out of shape over the hill Randy Couture would never be allowed by any boxing organisation to step into a ring with Vladimir Klitchsko for example.......it just would never be allowed to happen. What reason could there be to think Mercer or Toney could compete in a different sport at the top level......likewise what reason is there to think any of them mma boys could step into a boxing ring at top level......the difference is boxing is still a noble and dignified sport with morals...........ufc is onl

You boxed,and your friend beat an English prospect.... Well why didnt you say.....none of us could possibly understand the game as much as somebody of your calibre ......hats off to you im sure we could all learn from your obvious knowledge and experience. ta ta champ.
