Naz did it perfectly. He built the hype beating the lower opposition, and when stepping up and getting found out he quickly retired leaving a legacy that has only gained further hype. If Fury and Wilder had both retired after their 3rd fight I have little doubt both would be in the top 5 .. if not ...

Surprising it looks like 25 years later both his books are being made into a Hollywood film called Giant with Paddy Considine as Brendan Ingle! I suspect Mick Mills will be a character too. https://www.edgehill.ac.uk/internationally-acclaimed-psychologist-takes-his-books-on-boxing-to-the-bright-lig...

I was part of the backroom staff…. I havnt got a clue who you are on about

So what is his relationship like with his promoter?

Clinton and Dennis got on very well.

You do realise that “got” is in the past tense?

I seem to recall Poxon was in the corner for at least one of the Glencoffe fights? Who was the trainer for the Hoye fight? I would have guessed Poxon but now you’ve said that, it sounds like Clinton was very happy with his camp then. Poxon was his trainer when he won the World title. He’s not the o...

anyone?

I’d already said that Poxon was his trainer when he won the World title.

*Hoye fight

Thank you for the comments. I am reasonably confident that Clinton was not happy with Richard Poxon.😉 I seem to recall Poxon was in the corner for at least one of the Glencoffe fights?

He trained there when he was a kid. His first trainer, Ray Gillet, was trained by Brendan.

I posted the article, and had not mentioned inheritance. So you can't criticise James for an article he did not refer to, lacking information. I have also read about the inheritance dispute from a family member of his who is not far from me and has posted widely. Not saying it is truth but it defin...

Be careful! Posting that is ‘libellous’ according to pugilist specialist the Boxrec legal expert 😂😂😂😂 There’s nothing in either article about “inheritance” as you claimed.

Woodhouse had quite a bit of publicity when he went pro, ex footballer etc, I was annoyed he was even given a license, I assumed he would be a Flintoff. From a boxing point of view he turned out to be a quality fighter. I imagine he would have been even better if he had taken it up earlier and had ...

Grew up in Driffield and one of my best friends is Curtis’ cousin, Curtis always been a prick for as long as anyone can remember Didn’t he rob and beat up his cousin? Something to do with inheritance? Woodhouse comes over as a prick No. That’s libelous. It was reported that his cousin kicked Woodho...

Used to post on here and was very pro FW.
Used to be very anti-drugs on Twitter.
Now he gloats on Twitter about Conor Benn being “cleared” and seems to worship AJ and Hearn.
Bell. End.

Bradley was his third defence.

Smith is a tidy boxer but his lack of punch power and desire to finish will hold him back. He landed some good shots on Allington but the fact he took them fine is worrying. As is Smith’s inability to go through the gears. I saw some comparing him to a young Kell Brook. Not in terms of style of fig...

Because it's harder to get straight shots off?

It’s an open secret that Kell likes to get completely off his tits and will shag anything, man or woman that he can get his hands on. However that’s his life and he’s entitled to do what makes him happy. Coneyes post makes sense in that he’s gonna lose a chunk of his bankroll in the divorce. Gettin...

This posters' fantasies turn every Kell Brook thread into his own jerk off thread.

600 is a hell of a lot. I wonder how far that goes - would say Eddie and Frank be banned because they dealt with MTK? Would MTK boxers be banned (Josh Warrington as an example)? It’d be a real bad hit for Eddie if he can’t get over there. Maybe MTK Leeds would have to explain who paid for the air-c...

I tipped Price on here when he was 15. He's 21. Clarke is 30. McCormack is 20 odd. McGrail is very good. I've kept an eye on Price since Mickey tipped him. He's looked outstanding so far but it's a shame he's had so few fights. I think it was also Mickey that mentioned he has 2 younger brothers tha...

Same situation then. Wood would need to vacate. IBF don’t unify with regular belts or when there is a super champion at WBA. That’s why Warr had to relinquish his IBF before.. he was trying to fight Can. Kid Galahad had been IBF mandatory for 12 months. Warrington gave his belt up because he wouldn...

MasterG wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 18:55 Why did Lara vacate the IBF title for Warrington to fight for it?

Lara has never fought for the IBF title. Warrington vacated the belt to avoid his mandatory challenger.

He was just selling the fight. I'm amazed that boxing fans still buy into it. You could see Kell was fighting for his life in the interviews but Khan was just messing around. I don't think he had anything personal at all towards Kell and was just having fun promoting the fight and ensuring he made ...
