At the end of the day folk don't have to watch or pay for the fights, it's a choice. I just can't understand the hate for these boxers, there out there earning a crust by fighting, have any of us folk had the balls or the will to do it Easy for armchair athletes to quickly put down these men, I think it must be jealously, actually it is jealously. Dry your eyes an turn off if you don't like, calling boys bums cause they couldn't survive at the top,they'd spark out most on here, not many survive at the top, hats off to the men that have tried. Gone on to feck lads these bums put the time in have any of you. Oh happy father's Day Absolutely right great post that....you get these armchair critics on these forums that have no idea what the pressure of fighting another man in a fair fight is like yet have the audacity to make statements like " he quit "....people dont need to have tact on a forum they say the edgiest shit they can say yet have no real idea,interest or desire in a physical fight. An old trainer once said something to me when i was a young man getting into trouble,having enemies etc....." The quickest way to make a friend of somebody is to have a fight with them ".....stuck with me for years those words. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone that was impressed by fury's win over him need a word with themselve's It was a sales pitch mate....Bob Arum submitted a tender....nothing more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWSBOY 306 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Never in my life seen anything like this hw division, worst boxing ever in the history of the sport.

To hear promoters etc rant about how exciting this crop of heavyweights are, well, I'm wondering who the f**k they are watching! Terrible era for heavyweights 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiggy 3,209 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Even if they are poorer than previous generations at least there's 3 or 4 at the top all roughly around the same ability but with different styles which makes it more interesting to watch. It's far better than watching the klitschos era when they went a decade without a challenge and were boring to watch. The only exciting fight that could of been made in that era was if they fought each other and that didn't even happen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWSBOY 306 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Well thats a matter of opinion mate, vitali klitschko was not at all boring imo, very hard to beat, only lost to lewis with a bad cut, pulled out of another with injury, would have beat todays lot i think.

I was going to use the phrase learn but that's asking too much BM lol You are aware that Eddie Hearn is likely to be the greatest boxing promoter this country has ever had....he has taken the sport to its height of popularity in Britain and is now doing what Frank Warren couldnt.....B level fighters are now getting paid A level fighters money because of Eddie Hearn......ask any young British fighter who he would like to sign with and they will all say Hearn......you see boxing from an armchair critics viewpoint but for people actually involved as fighters/trainers/journeymen,even paying punters... Eddie Hearn is doing a fantastic job that no other British promoter has ever been capable of doing. Edited June 22, 2019 by gnasher16 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
