Don't be sorry pal. It's wide open , and Danny has as much chance of any of us. I've always got other fights booked but with my heart hundred percent into this , I've got to fancy my chances , in my mind I'm the best journeyman in the country. But then, I would say that. That ain't woodhouse is it?

Thanks Curtis , same here , your fight with peter was blindin! I don't think thorpy,s power would bother me. And he called me a pussy earlier so I want him in the first round . He has to get back to Sheffield after all. Ha

I dissagreed, it couldn't be no worse than the last heavyweight shower. Here,s hoping they repay us and put some faith into us. Boxing owes us I Think
couldnt agree more jonny boy!! if it was ever to happen id treat it like aq world title,the chance of a massive cheque plus the well deserved exposure!! ud get some cracking little fights!! one thing is for sure tho kristian laight would win!!! 1 tough bastard with a chin like granite,can actualy fight a bit too!! :TU:

It weren't the best you'd boxed but a loss isn't the end of the world, least it's not put you off + Peter's lost more than he's won. It shows you a record can be deceiving, he can box and he knows just when the round is coming to an end and what to do. To be honest he looked to have a decent dig as well.

I'm not trying to knock this idea down cos i think it would be great, thats the only thing that we dont want to happen.

What do u guys think ?
cant talk for the others mate but do the math 32k is a lot better then 4k!!! :D im sure every1 of us would give it our all to win the tournament :bag:

Top point Rhino 222

Mostly these guys are journeymen who have forgotten how to win and just survive. There is a chance that as soon as they hurt each other they will go into survival mode and it could make worse TV than the recent heavyweight one :OhYes:
no chance!!! each journey man will know its a even stevens match, this im sure would bring out the best in each and every1 uv got guys who can actually fight a bit in that list altho im not sure wed see any ko.s as most of that list hav good defences and cracking chins!!! ovreall ud hav 8 pumped up journey man giving it 110% personally its a kristian laight vs jonny boy greaves final for me!!! :bag:

Yes kris , we agree. But how would you spend your 16 g,s . Ha. Only joking mate.you have my full respect, you know as well as me. We,d Deffo go in looking to win. Every fight has classic written all over it. If the show was shit telly is happily donate a chunk of my purse to charity. That's how confident I am in us putting on one of the best prizefighter,s theres been.

P.S "Greavesy" i'd piss it anyhow so dont get too confident if it comes off lol :box: :box: :box:

Billy. There's a bit of a story to that one to be honest , they just wanted me to move him about . He tried to stop me and blew his wad. But no I weren't tryin to lose, just didn't want to bash him up.
