  1. Yeah amazing, without doubt one of the most talented musicians/song writers of all time...but... Dylan is not the musician of Prince, he is a lyricist a poet, who can write a hook... I think Stiffy is alluding to Dylan having an inferior back catalogue which is wrong...Dylan songs are covered more than anyone (probably)...I know Stiffy hates Dylan though...think Noel is a better song writer lol
  2. I love Dylan, saw him and The Boss last year.. my list of musts is now complete
  3. That song reminds me of lamping in my first car a B reg mk3 escort.. had the album playing when we got pulled by the police with lurchers in the back...I'd love to say that somg was playing at the time, how apt..but that was over 30 years ago so I ain't sure lol
  4. Some great bands about today mate.. Catfish and the Bottleman Wunderhorse Nothing but Thieves (what a voice that boy has!) I love all my old music, big 90s fan... Bruce Springsteen would be my desert Island pick as he is alongside Bob Dylam probably the best songwriter/lyricist ever imo... oh and Jarvis, f**k he can wrote a line! Raye is a great modern singer as well, beautiful voice and she comes across as a great girl, very much like a new Amy Whinehouse...
  5. Real proper character, what rock and roll legends should be! RIP OZZY..
  6. Tony Bellew has said for years he mentally fatigues you, Dubois's brain is probably still hurting lol
  7. Yeah thought the undercard was shit mate, but the atmosphere looked good for the main event, and as you say Usyk didn't disappoint... top 5 you say! Technically possibly the best, but I'm not sure on top 5... I'd of love to seen him in either the 70s or 90s eras just to see some of those matcg ups..

    Coin Cutting

    They look great Arry, real nice work mate.. Definitely be worth a bid at the comp, I think Mary will love them as she is right into her arts and craft, she makes wicker animals etc...she'll almost definitely bid on those mate
  9. We all know the story mate... point is adversity is there for everyone in life, mental strength is as much a test as physical strength..he's not the first or last to suffer loss, poverty, hardship...but he was not mentally strong enough to make the right decisions and that eventually cost him.. Could he have beat Holyfield or Lewis if he had lived the proper life? Maybe maybe not... the facts are they won and showed his weaknesses...
  10. Bit of class from Parker, fair play to him
  11. Loads of them mate, from Mexico to the Phillipines... Pac man lived on the streets from 14, Hagler was dodging bullets most of his young life, Chavez was poor as a church mouse... its a recurring theme, but it either gives you something or takes something away, unfortunately Tyson reverted to type too many times and showed mental weakness...
  12. All very true and well documented... I think most of the great boxers have had to deal with adversity in their lives, for many it is their escape and path to a better life.. No doubt Tyson was the biggest name on the planet at a very young age, he had everything too soon and no shortage of people to take advantage of him... but when arguing different boxers and who is the greatest etc, Tyson will always always been thrown in the mix and pre buster Douglas Tyson who could argue, but his frailties, mentality etc was put to the test a few times and he came up short.. ultimately his choi
  13. Loved Tyson as a kid, I was 10 when he beat Trevor Berbick for the world title.. remember it like yesterday...but.. he wasn't dedicated to the game, you can make all the excuses in the world and say a 20 year old Tyson would beat anyone, the truth is a still young Tyson lost to better fighters, he was 30 when he lost to.Holyfield, 35 when he lost to Lewis.. early 20s when he lost to Buster Douglas (freak punch, or zero preparation?)... The bottom line is Tyson wasn't mentally strong enough to train properly, live properly, conduct himself properly and he lost to the best he fought as they
  14. The problem is that's the money fight, Parker won't have the same draw... I don't see any point in it though, I'm sure Usyks earnt enough to keep some integrity...mind you I think he'd spark fury after tonight's performance, that would be nice lol
  15. Yeah your on tbe wind up...nice one, you had me
  16. He's had a dozen fights against carefully chosen opponents, as it should be, he looks very good, but behave.. he's not been in with anyone yet.
  17. Mate, do you not think the best coaches in the world and elite fighters have a game plan to beat they're opponent?...im not sure if you're pn a wind up, or just don't see what's infront of your face..Usyk controlled everything in tbe fight, Dubois couldn't make him do anything, if Usyk was on the ropes or in a corner it was cause he wanted to be there, he wants Dubois to come onto him throwing punches, he slips and throws counters better than pretty much anyone, watch it again... both knockdowns came from Dubois "forcing" usyk onto the ropes, or back foot ..dubois wasn't in control of that, u
  18. I don't really see much point in Usyk taking any more fights, he has proven beyond doubt he's the best in the division, I like Parker but he won't trouble Usyk.. there is no one worth fighting, Moses Itauma looks a fantastic prospect, I'm looking forward to following his career, Dubois will come again, he's young enough shd good enough...usyk has nothing to prove, if you're a boxing fan you would appreciate what he's done from the best of the amatures to clearing out 2 divisions as a pro...job done
  19. Other than half of round 3 Usyk was in complete control... No shame on Dubois, he's just too good
  20. You can't steam in and bully him, he's too good, his movement, footwork, counter punching, feints (feet and hands), he has the lot as a boxer... he walks you onto shots...tonight was a masterclass, Dubois didn't have the answers for it and I don't think any of tjr current crop do either...the blokes had 300 odd mature fights, gone through 2 divisions abd cleaned up as a pro... I think it's time to accept he's a very special fighter
  21. The new Seven Nation Army
