Any forum minus your "input" is better off. You say you can't be bothered to support your criticisms of my writing, well, then you can't substantiate your arguments then. I'll make it easy for you. Here's a link to a number of articles I wrote whilst at britishboxing.net. http://www.briti...

Ever thought of having a go yourself, Simpsons? Yes i have, but i don't have the time and would not disrespect the art by being a part timer, i make a good living from a boxing related field anyway.

The websites are already giving print media a run for it's money, and in time more of them will evolve into web based magazines with full time staff and growing user bases, much like maxboxing.

I don't read The Sun much but when I have read his stuff his anti-Lewis mind-set seems a bit irrational, on the other hand if you want completely objective boxing writing read a ring record. His job is to put forward opinions, my only other gripe is that he seems a bit "been there, done that, ...

let's see what some other fighters think of Enzo - cruierweight BJ Flores, over at Eastsideboxing. "Flores: Enzo is a big, tall, strong guy who comes at you in a straight-forward manner. Maccarinelli has benefited greatly from Joe Calzaghe’s fame. I don’t feel that Enzo has earned his title, a...

They gave Naseem Hamed the MBE in 1999. The image of the royals was so tarnished after Princess Diana's death in 1997. They were handing out these honours like candy to give off the impression that they were in tune with the average public and appeasing the celebrites to gain favourtism. It was lik...

Re: Is it too late for me to think of a pro career?

Whahahahaha....LMAO! Just found out from BBBOC that you can box with laser corrected vision. Unlucky punk.
