gnasher16 29,754 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 im not at all gnash its only a debate so calm down........ you do contradict yourself sometimes tho, wasnt you saying before how a sports star should ONLY be judged in the ring, on the field etc??? so what if he "sells himself" as long as produces in the ring, surely thats all that matters??? if di canio made a comeback to football tomorrow would you expect him to bang goals in at old trafford on his first game back.......... How am i contradicting myself i AM judging him as a fighter and he hasnt done anything in 3 years so what is their to talk about ?.....yet all he wants to talk about is how many fans he has...............................its not very often i take a dislike to a professional sportsman as i understand what it takes to compete and i normally stand up for them on most things............but Hatton absolutely repulses me in every word that comes from his mouth..... he is loved by the general public yet disliked by a lot of the boxing fraternity,mainly by people who can see straight through him..............he was a very good fighter but was very bad for boxing in my opinion. If Dicanio came back to football tomorrow and wasnt good enough to get into the first team i would have no interest in him whatsoever i want to watch him play football i dont want to be his friend !
