Unlike those 2 immortals of the British ring Hatton and Calzaghe eh .....who were loved for fighting over the hill names ! Calzaghe was the biggest waste of talent ive ever seen and Hatton was the best conman ive ever seen yet they are both idolized by the British public.....how dare Khan pick fights I think your Benn argument has run out of steam a little as it doesnt take a huge boxing fan to see the likeness of their losses at the same stage of their career for the same reasons and it seems you wont even accept what comes from the horses mouth so we,ll have to leave that one !!!...

Im not exactly blessed in the brains department and have absolutely no idea what erudite means but i like the sound of it i might use that one ....no doubt i,ll use it in the complete wrong context but we live and learn All the best

Blan are you a barrister by day ?....you have a clever way of putting a spin on things to suit your argument..... How can you possibly say that the loss Benn suffered to Watson was any different to the loss Khan suffered to Prescott ?....they were both losses through a severe and glaring weakness.....and that weakness was a poor defence brought about by overconfidence......to say one was different to the other is just plain wrong....i hate to name drop as its muggy.....but Benns trainer in later years is a friend of mine since childhood so i did occasionally get to have a natter with Benn fro
-
So apart from the fact they were both olympians what are the similarities between Khan and Harrison ? They have no similarity in fighting style and their pro careers have taken totally different routes....????....the step 1/2 you mention is simply professional boxing !!....a young prsopect is fed easy opponents until they either A, lose a fight....or B, reach a title.......normally A happens before B !....step 3 will happen regardless as no fighter fights tough fights every fight of their career ! You say Khan was exposed by Prescott but Benn was outclassed by Watson......you are just play
-
Mate you cant seem to get away from this " comparing fighters " thing......we are not comparing who is better or whos this or that.....i started off by pointing out that Khans CAREER is taking an identical path to Benns.....as fighters they have similarities....not in quality but in styles/strengths/weaknesses.... The fact ive mentioned Tommy Hearns in the same sentance doesnt mean im comparing them for ability.....does your whole entire knowledge of the sport come down to who is best !!.... As regards the Benn/Watson fight i was around 30 feet away from Benn when he went down,Benn was

These dogs are about as much Bull Terrier as i am !......when you cross a cross over many generations do you even have a breed.
-
Your comparing the uncomparable......... So because Benn stood toe to toe with Mclellen that means he can take a shot......yet he got blown over by a jab from Michael Watson which finished the fight........the mistake you are making is putting too much emphasis on a fighters chin and not enough emphasis on a fighters defence.... When Benn lost to Mike Watson he had no defence whatsoever because after blowing everyone away he had never needed a defence,what did he do,he went away and worked on his defence,he still didnt have the greatest chin in the world but it was never exposed in the sa
-
You mean why is he relevant...in a topic with his name heading it Benns chin was no better or no worse than Khans is....the fact you refer to Khan being knocked out by " a cab driver " and Benn standing up to Mclellens shots are the words of an archair boxing fan with all due respect.....it doesnt take the greatest fighter in the world to knock you out when your caught cold,Khan was caught cold because he had no defence not because he had a glass jaw.... Benn has admitted many times he couldnt take a punch....and i dont think there can be any doubt as to Hearns,i remember the referee te
-
I remember everyone saying almost exactly the same as that word for word in the early part of Benns career,in fact the only fighter around at that time who had possibly a worse chin than Benn at world level was Tommy Hearns,who didnt do too bad for a glass chinned fighter either.
-
Nobody in todays times would get away with what Benn did in the first few years of his career,he fought absolute no hopers,Benns manager at that time was Burt Mcarthy who was a buiseness man not a boxing manager,he financed Benns early career and wanted money back on his investment,Benn didnt fight a live opponent until Watson,if i remember right he fought Darren Hobson who was vaguely decent. The stage of career Khan is at now is the stage Benn was at when he beat Barkley,he had come back from a defeat,won a world title and defended it.....in my opinion a Khan fight with a Timothy Bradley

June is a winter month in South Africa,not like we know winter of course but it wont be scorching anyway. Im inclined to agree the Argies are always there or there abouts.
-
It wasnt a debate as to who the better fighter was....i was simply saying that at the stage of his career Khan is at now,Nigel Benn was exatly the same at that stage of his.....an unexpected defeat,a suspect chin a reputation as a banger,and a trip over the pond to make him a better allround fighter,their careers are mirror images of each other......im not for one minute trying to suggest Khan is or ever will be as good a fighter as Benn was....im a big Benn fan,he was from my manor at a time when i was around a few gyms myself and he was a likeable lad so im not putting him down at all.....he

I think we expect too much and fall into the trap of thinking because premier league players earn such high wages that means they should win the world cup !....id be happy if we reach the quarter finals and be very happy if we reached the semis.... Ive always felt the mistake we make at international level is trying to out-football superior footballing sides.....the english game is based on speed tenacity fitness and passion...yet when we get amongst the foreign flair teams we try to play football against them instead of doing what we are good at. If we keep the pace of games high instead of

To be honest i cant believe Pudzianowski has degraded himself like this.....he is a phenomenal athlete....but a fighter he is not. A man with such muscle density would have a hard 1 minute in him before lactic acid would take over and his arms and legs would feel like tree trunks......i dont know who is advising him but they shouldnt be....he is a very wealthy guy and one of the strongest men whos ever lived.....be happy with that and dont think that makes you invincible because fighting has a strange way of exposing the truth !

Some folk call them a lazy mans tool.....but in my opinion its better to condition a dog with a mill than to either miss days due to weather or work a dog soaked through to the skin !...guess it just depends what your needing from a dog......if its the type meant for people might be as well to board up the sides,a dog will always work one better when he,s facing forward all the time ....good luck
-
Depends if its free running or elctric......if its electric its only likely to be any good for walking/slow trot....if its free running the dog should be able to open right up.......always used both myself a dog can walk/trot a slow elec mill all day whereas a fast running slat mill you will need to keep an eye out to make sure the dog dont overdo it.....for an unfit dog 5 minutes fast running on a free running slatmill will tire him out but that same dog will walk/trot a slow elec mill for hours. Takes a dog a while to get used to a slatmill as well......just build the dog up progressively u

Kevins got a hard fight tonight ive got my doubts he will win but he,s a determined kid in great shape and theres no quit in him whatsoever....that alone gives him a decent chance. Plus he,s fighting at the mighty Upton Park ......i,ll be ringside tonight so keep an eye out for the really good looking bloke in the 3rd row
-
no way blood...i was too swift for him ya get me
-
No its not a roland rat tribute....... Our local lad Kevin Mitchell fulfils a dream tomorrow night with a big fight at the mighty Upton Park Dont fancy his chances really i saw Katsidis beat Graham Earl a few years back and he looked a class act....Kevins in the best shape of his life and he,s a real decent kid with strong principals....quite rare in this day and age......hopefully he will get the job done and go onto bigger things,maybe a good old fashioned tear up with Amir Khan
-
Nearly pissed meself then .....classic Personally i think theres something distinctly " not right " about Clint.....his english is getting worse,his british army stories just dont stand up....and ....well....i just dont like cheap foreign labour myself.
-
Get this.....i was taking the piss out of a young lad i know the other day for this exact reason.....he proceeded to give me the history and meaning of this " trend " Apparently its something to do with american jails and how convicts are all given one size trousers,....meaning some spotty little teenager walking along fulham broadway is actually copying a badboy killer from san quentin .....what the f**k is the world coming to !
-
Words i hate most are these nerdy spastic trendy words like... " fella ".....cheers fella ............... f**k off mug ! or...when a waitress gives you your food and says " enjoy ".............. f**k off div ! or....when someone describes a person as a " legend " ............ get some meaning of the word you prick ! in fact theres so many my blood could boil just thinking about them.

Hmmmmm....as i suspected....must admit im slightly out of touch with the dog fashions these days. A lad contacted me recently telling me about a deal he is thinking about,personally i think he is being shafted but theres no telling some folk.... As you may remember i had my own cunning plans for the eggheads some time ago but having looked at the dogs around me i quickly realised i couldnt compromise on my morals and thats where the plan ended ! Ive heard good things about these Ingles dogs if i was in the market thats where id be heading....thanks for the input chaps.
-
Ive recently been asked if there are any Gull Terriers in the uk....not being familiar with the breed and not being exactly " down " with the asian community i thought id see if any of you good folk would know.?

Ive never understood this posting pictures thing....if you walked up to someone on the street with a picture of a dog you are inviting comment,whats so different about the internet....its not difficult,if you dont welcome comment,dont show pictures !!! Personally ive never felt the need to post pictures of dogs,i know i had some exceptional animals and nothing anybody could say could convince me otherwise.....so why would i need opinions ......i dont need a weatherman to tell me its raining !......then again it can be a strange world this internet.
