'Tough as nails' is something i equate with Jerry Quarry, George Foreman types.

nothing wrong with him?

where do you get your facts from?

Limond had a burst eardrum in that Khan fight

Not a fanatical Khan hater at all, just dont like ITV and the tabloids telling me what he is when he hasn't proven it.

Willie Limond had good basic skills, but dont think a stoppage loss in a Commonwealth title fight should lead to even an IBO belt.

My facts come from Willie Limonds brother, who told us all here on boxrec that Willie didn't actually suffer any injuries.

what u on about overhand right? firstly i DID not say willie didnt suffer any injuries. i came on to clarify that willie suffered a burst eardrum and not a broken jaw as sum were saying on this forum, also it was his corner that withdrew him from the fight- not willie himself.

We have to get rid of these titles because they are killing our sport. Limond is a good fighter - so let him establish himself as a legitimate
top 10 contender! He hasn't done it yet! It would be a long road for him but the IBO title isn't going to do him or Scottish boxing any good in m opinion!

Billy Schwer might argue with you about the IBO title, it means he's a world champion apparently
