Is boxer Anthony Joshua carrying invisible rolls of carpet?

Carl Thompson could bang. His comeback against Sebastian Rothman was absolutely amazing.

and david haye that fight was crazy

[local hero]

You have to give David haye thumbs up for fighting Thompson so early in his career, I had him down as another audry Harrison before that

Lee Duffy, another myth for which there was alot of truth yet alot of bullshit. Plain and simple, a really hard man but a ruthless bully that got his comeuppance. Same could be said of Tony Sinnott in Liverpool. Lots of debate as to who would actually win between Duffy & Cockerill as you cant trust anyones BS when it comes to self glorifying street cred, i just know i wouldnt want to have gotten into it with either man. From what ive gathered, both guys would have hammered Viv Graham.

Carl Thompson, theres a name i havent talked about for a while. Known as "The Hardman" to some people, hell of a banger & yeah that comeback was exceptional. 1 punch with nothing left in the tank.

unfortunately a lot of the "hard" guys were bullies

there are a couple round notts way that bang people out for looking at them the wrong way or for any other trivial reason they can think off

cant respect a mind set like that

one of my mates is mustard well respected across the whole area

never seen him be anything other than polite and respectful to every one

civilians and grafters

[GraniteCityDon]

True mate, there are not alot of named fighters i know that arent bullies. Some of the worst i ever came across were the McAllisters of Aberdeen. Absolute pieces of shit.

Lee, known as "The Aberdeen Assassin" is in the Scottish boxing HOF for winning 2 world titles, i say that as straight faced as i can because they were the WBU & WBF version against guys ranked around 200 in the world  Hes a joke, very skilled and fast but his old man was rumoured to pay off guys to boost his record at the Ballroom. One of the happier times i can recall was seeing John Murray fold him in half with a left to the body.

[geeizback]

sinnott was a horrible fucking bully of a man

he opened a lad up the day before his wedding day over a late ounce debt. across the grid so his pics would show what happened


duffy versus spiers.

sorry but duffy was no doubt tasty. spiers was in a different league

he wasn't some raided up doorman beaked up- he lived to do his job- security and teach people. there as an interview in fighting arts that terry o neil did- if you can find it read it

[Darren Avey]

Lee Duffy, Viv Grayham all boxers who never went very far.... Why do you idolise these people?

I just love all their bums

[Darren Avey]

Gary Spiers V Cain Valasquez?

[geeizback]

Gary Spiers is dead so Cain would win that one.

Tends to be the norm for blokes that are the real I am.

Was good friends with a man who was top dog in our area for a long time and he was one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet and would do anything for you.

He hated bullies and those were the only people he ever started shit with, he'd always seek out a know bully and batter them, but people could drink and have a laugh with him and do the sort of shit to him that most blokes would Kick off over, someone even set his hair on fire one day and he laughed it off.

I would love to see khan vs brook

khan has mayweather blinkers on looking at a 50 mill plus pay day

I think if he gets that fight he might fight brook at one of the outdoor stadiums in Yorkshire

I think khan schools brook technically with brook having a decent punchers chance

great fight

I also think khan has the speed to hit mayweather and I think mayweather knows that and might duck him

Brook's timing is far superior to that of Khan's and technically one of the best in the UK!
he's got a classic Ingle schooling behind him!

Khan still has a habit of moving in straight lines with his feet lagging behind - Devon Alexander was piss poor that night and while Khan was impressive it was more a case of Devon under-performing than Khan putting on a world class performance.

he should have made easier work of Algieri last night, was far from a top level performance and Brook would have taken advantage all day.
not only that, but the difference in power and accuracy between the two is substantial. what Khan has in his favour is punch speed and volume but that means nothing if you're constantly being out-timed and worked on at all angles like Brook and especially FMW would do.

he can call out FMW all he wants, after last nights performance Brook is more deserving of a shot than Khan for a unification fight (should Brook impress vs Gavin which he will)

[goku]

I think its a weak pay for view, Hearn is being a bit cheeky... But I'm in this weekend, so no doubt I'll stump up for it


I half hope no one buys it, for me ppv's were for Tyson v Lewis type fights, not mandatory/domestic fights

he'd argue that there's 3 world title fights with 3 of the top domestic talents taking part in them with another top talent in Joshua co-headlining in his toughest fight but i agree mate, you can't have a main event of Brook vs Gavin and fucking charge a score to watch it!

Selby vs the Russian isn't deserving of ppv status and could argue Brook vs Gavin isn't either.
Mitchell vs Lonares should be fight of the night but again not enough to make this a PPV.

should have been shown on sky, i'd be shocked if they earn the kinda money they're expecting to from PPV sales.

i reckon Lonares will get the win and i think Selby may struggle as well.
Joshua to make easy work of Johnson and Brook to do the same with Gavin - both early stoppages i think

I think motivation was an issue for khan last night

his best performances alexander and maidana were against real top opposition

brook hasn't thought someone as quick as khan

I agree he moves in and out in straight lines

but he throws in bunches and is often gone before he gets tagged

no doubt his chin will get tested against brook though and might be found wanting

the two possible outcomes are khan on points or brook by knockout

mayweather wont fight khan not for his last fight

[goku]

You already know my loyalty to Brennan, but better than O'Neill? Never seen that side of Sensei.

On topic, i believe the division is Brooks for the taking. Once Mayweather retires i dont see Manny beating him, Khan wont get in the ring with him never mind fight him. That leaves Thurman. Huge banger, i think Kell has that little bit more in regards to skill and would take him the distance & get the decision.

completely agree, Thurman and Brook to take over the welter div. soon enough.
people are looking too much into Virgil Hunter coaching Khan, Brandon Gonzalez maybe Hunter's best bet outside of Ward and little ole' Jim McDonald's boy DeGale embarrassed him.
Khan can switch as many coaches as he wants, won't make a blind bit of difference when he steps up the levels. has habits he'll revert back to when in trouble.

you reckon FMW and Cotto for his last one then mate? its one of the two, reckon it will be Cotto myself but at catch rather than 147.

Maidana lost to Alexander too, upped his game considerably against FMW in the first but generally neither of those two were at their best against Khan imo and even then, they're not at the level of Brook/Thurman either.

also Porter > Devon/Maidana.

Alexander has some serious rebuilding to do, to be fair Khan against Maidana was his best performance.

surely Brook and Khan in a Wembley sell out is on the cards if FMW goes down the Cotto route. now that would be a PPV worth buying!

yeah the cotto fight makes more sense

especially in the states

the only other fight that makes sense for khan is brook

I think it will be at one of the Sheffield stadiums as they are both Yorkshire boys

hopefully they might double it up with groves and mr arrogant

think Khan is from Lancs mate, Bolton i think it was?
Brook Yorkshire though, Sheffield.

depends if they can do the numbers mate, 90k Wembley capacity plus its the capital - be looking to match Froch Groves i reckon but maybe Old Trafford more realistic. local to them as well, Manc boxing fans are manic so would make more sense.
Sheffield stadiums won't hold the capacities they're bound to target especially with Hearns/Heyman doing the work.

didn't even cross my mind that - double header of Brook Khan and Groves DeGale! good shout!

if they can triple up with Frampton and Quigg that would be a historic UK card!

Joshua and Price too much to ask on that? lol

THE NEW KING OF HEAVYWEIGHT IS COMING TO TAKE THE THRONE !!! 

[local hero]

No one can touch Joshua, I think he could chin the top 3 on the same night..

[maxkane69]

THIS OTHER BRIT (KELL BROOK) WILL DOMINATE THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION AFTER MAYWEATHER JR. RETIRES !!!

AND YES...KELL BROOK IS MUCH BETTER THAN KIETH THURMAN !!!

Kahn wont fight him, when kell beats him its the end of his career as Élite... He can loose to mayweather and still keep face..

Only welter to beat brook is money...

[GraniteCityDon]

AJ has yet to fight a serious competitor, the division as a whole is pathetic. Johnsonwas on a downward spiral of losses and coming off a 13 month layoff, how exactly was this supposed to go other than the way it did? Im still not convinced of him being the new Lennox Lewis, let him fight someone thats can fight back and isnt a can or old.

Amir "Jester" Khan better ante up soon, Kell will take the moniker of King and we all know there will only ever be 1 Prince in boxing.

Price crumbled when he moved to this level, aj didn't brake a sweat... He was never going to loose, but this fella has done the distance with the big names

He made a statement tonight, other than klitchko who could give him a fight right now?, wilder maybe... He will walk through frury..

I think it will be price or chisora end of summer, with same outcome

[maxkane69]

BUT THIS WAS THE BEST FIGHT OF THE NIGHT !!!

LINARES VS MITCHELL

ENJOY !!!
