If you ask any young fighter of the 90's who they would choose to manage them they would say Frank Warren,if you asked any young fighter today they'll say Eddie Hearn and thats because of not only the fairness of the purses they end up with but the exposure they get,the facilities available to them.....back in the 80's only the very elite fighters didnt have to work a day job which for some of us who went in that direction that came as paid sparring partners which again today are a rarity.... Frank Brunos sparring partners for the Witherspoon fight in 86 were on a grand a week for the 6 week camp which was good wedge for the time....Gary Mason,God rest his soul didnt clear that much in the entire year which was i think 8 or 9 fights....i know this as its something we would laugh about in later years.....Lloyd Honeyghan won an undisputed belt and defended it 3 or 4 times but never made real life changing money......the cartel did but he didnt......world champions like Dennis Andries ended up as a security guard !.....the power back then in London was in the hands of 4 or 5 men and thats where young fighters today possibly not even on a level of some fighters back in those days need to be grateful.

Interesting info. Across the pond, how Don King was never roughed up or shot by the dozens of guys he ripped off, including Ali and Tyson is a mystery to me.

Just a couple of snippets that you'e written the last couple of days, Gooey.

I've seriously lost count of the number of times that you've claimed fury to be the best Heavyweight of all time!! 😄 👍

Excluding Butterbean, he's the foat. Fattest of all time. Twenty odd stone now. Sir Henry fought at 13 and a half stone.

 I think Fury over analyses/pities himself. I think lots of men have all the psychological symptoms he describes. Lots of us live on the edge. Up and down, dark thoughts, nightmares,difficulty sleeping or concentrating , fantasising briefly about  smashing your car into an oncoming vehicle. I think it's part of being male. Part of life taking its toll.You pick up mental,scars along life's journey. So what? Personally I don't think there's any point in navel gazing. You just get on with it.

Fury should pack in the stunts, the TV cameras, the coke and guiness  benders he has with his fucktard father and stop obsessing about his f****d up head. Might help if he fought genuine opponents on a regular basis as well.

 No disrespect to people who are genuinely suffering and need help.I'm not underestimating mental illness at all.

I think you're spot on mate - a lot goes through our heads but, we keep it down and crack on and keep providing :thumbs:

a man weighing 14 stone with a descent shot will be able to sit any man on is arse though gnash 

you really think ali would beat fury mate i don’t 

@Bakerboy

There are lots more of the same stuff that Gooey has written like that on here.

And if, like most people on here do, you/we agree that Ali was the best Heavyweight of all time, that last paragraph proves what I said earlier.

And yes, I'm well aware that max thought the same as Gooey.  Lol 👍

ali was great shaark and great to watch but he would struggle with fury he was. about 6/2 and not even 15 stone mate not a big hitter 

norton and frazier for instance had his number holmes lewis would have been there aswell
