Steve Bunce and his ridiculous opinions

[dondada]

Gomez was clearly a flash knockdown, Khan was not all over the place.

Haye did not take a knee against Mormeck, his legs splayed and he almost did the splits. Against both Mock and Mormeck he got up and was clinging on for dear life. Watch it on Youtube if you don't believe me. Jim Twite flattened Haye as an amateur.
As for washed-up, Thompson was over 40 when he fought Haye, who was knocked down before he was stopped and Adam Booth actually threw the towel before he got battered - hardly a great warrior performance. Mormeck was 35 and hasn't boxed since, although I woldn't take anything away from that performance.
Stop trying to rewrite history.

What a load of bollocks. Khan is chinny as f*ck, Haye isn't. Khan gets hurt by non-punchers and was demolished by a big puncher. Gomez hardly touched him. Baby Jake Matlala would have rode that.

Haye gets hurt - yes. But he does get tagged by big men who hit hard.

I think its safe to say that both are chinny and both could get KO'd. As for who is the most "chinniest" well its a little hard to say, although evidence does point more towards Khan - although Haye hasn't been hit by a puncher of Prescott's ability - no names on his record or not, that guy can seriously whack. Enzo Macc can also, but never tagged Haye clean.

For all the criticism of Khan being hurt by poweder punching Super Feathers - lets not forget that Mock is a Super Middleweight, not even a Light heavyweight.

Either way, I don't think its important to know who is most chinniest - both are dodgy, thats why both are compelling to watch.

Haye's weakness is his chin, definitely. The evidence certainly does point to Khan though.

If you get hit in the wrong place (i.e. the temple) you could end up on queer street, whoever does it.

Haye has been hit clean by hard hitting men and rode it. Has Khan ever done the same? No.

difference is Khan gets hit, bang he goes down and is la la land, Haye was on his feet against Thompson (and talking of huge punchers have you lot forgotten? You talk about prescott being p4p in punch power Thompson's power was proven and far more brutal) and he couldnt spark haye. So i think yes David does touch down but he recovers well, Khan on the other hand is rendered akin to a jellyfish if he gets hit.

[dondada]

I've started a poll on this - so have a vote.

Experience tells me there's little point in 'discussing' things with Stu. He invariably has to have the last word and I can't be bothered.

[J]

oh yes you Khan.

[mrbassie]

Loads of people did this but he did try to hype up Haye - Mac as a 50-50. I'm not even sure he ever picked a winner.

Let's be honest, it was always going to be an early Haye KO. Totally different class.

Not on here at the time it wasn't always going to be Haye.

I thought Enzo was going to win, often I pick against the guy I want to win though. Let's not revise history to
the point where Enzo couldn't have sparked Haye if he was the one who landed big first.

What some people need to appreciate is that for most boxing shows, there are boys (and laydeez) behind the scenes who book the guests, write the scripts etc. Setanta hasn't got that infrastructure. Bunce's Boxing Hour is exactly that, BUNCE puts it together, makes the calls, books the guests, does all the prep work, THEN goes on screen too! Try getting ANYONE ON CAMERA at Sky, ITV, whatever, to do that at all, let alone to the level Bunce does it, literally PACKING an hour with different subjects and guests - and all off his own efforts, and he ain't overpaid for it, believe me. He does about eight people's jobs there, including leading that inexperienced kid presenter by the hand. Bunce deserves a medal and anyone who knows anything about that side of the business would agree. No one, FULL STOP, else in boxing could do what Bunce does there.

Absolutely. I fecking love it.

I voted for it in this year Sports Journalists' Association awards.

Brilliant work. I challenge anyone - say as much as Steves Bunce or Holdsworth do, basically one-handed, and I guarantee you will both dry up and eventually (quickly) start talking shite.

Buncey plays the game and does it well...it's the best sports show on telly (well, along with little Jeff Stelling's effort).

Bunce's show is excellent. No doubt. He spraffs garbage an awful lot. No doubt.

What he's done for boxing in the last 18 months has been brilliant, but his love of Hatton and Enzo discredits him.

[stujones]

I prefer Bunce's boxing show to his analysis of events. Personally, I think this is his strength - not so much presenting but talking to fighters, getting them to say their bit - when a fighter is relaxed... we can get them to talk.


Cannot fault the boxing show, I don't like his post fight stuff if I am honest, but his boxing show and the segments he used to do for the BEEB are top drawer.

I didn't know all that Glyn. My respect for what he is doing just went up even more. Well done Buncey.
