Anthony Small - anyone know what he's up to these days?

[stevieb_8006]

This thread was always gona end this way.

He's always been a prick.

Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr. says it all.

[whiskey]

Ok back to boxing.

The guy had enough to beat a lot of his domestic rivals - and always had potential to make an interesting undercard fight here and there (e.g Matthew Hall) therefore could have made a reasonable living and received fight opportunities.

But I think towards the end he lacked focus and was becoming completely immersed in his new way of life, and his performances reflected it.

Anthony Small vs Chris Eubank jr ?

dead!!!!!!!

Amazing how a post about a boxer ends up with Islamophobia and racism, on a boxing forum, that's why I don't post much.

You don't post much because you're a complete fuckwit and every time you do post, you end up in a row with someone because of the shite you talk. As for Islamophobia, what a load of bollocks.

I fight for justice, you on the other hand are an evil little git, a nerdy computer warrior, in the real world you are nothing and stand for nothing.

[Anzi]

Pure rubbish, Islamophobia propaganda, posted by an idiot, funny enough called Ali.

My post has substance, can you say the same about yours?

PS. whats funny about my username? its the first three letters of my 'Scottish' birth name you muppet!

No Ali, your posts have no 'substance'. What you state is based on opinion, not fact.

Too true, ignorance is bliss, they say.

I don't he was a big ticket seller, though talented, but needed the title to earn the money, once he lost it, he lost his interest.

Anthony Small - deary me, the guy must have took one too many shots to the head cos he went a bit off his rocker by the looks of it. A weak-minded guy who latched onto something to follow. That's what most religion is for, be it radical or not.

[reggaereggae]

One day Small will wake up and think..... "Why on earth did I go down this path, burn all my bridges , lose my old friends and piss my life up the wall"

[whiskey]

I don't he was a big ticket seller, though talented, but needed the title to earn the money, once he lost it, he lost his interest.

Agreed. But for me , the reason he lost it was that he had previously lost interest.

I think he was an unpopular figure by the time of the Webb ring walk and the defeat compacted his feelings on continuing.

Yes, he felt everyone was against him, he felt he was robbed against Webb( I thought he was outworked by Webb and show boated a bit too much ) and was stopped too early against Pryce ( though he was hurt and on unsteady legs, he might of got through it, who knows ), he beat some good guys like Prince Arron, Takalloo, Mathew Hall, McDonagh and Freddie Curriel, but having such a nickname did not go down well and neither did wearing the football shirt of a team that had just trounced Wigan F.C, when defending his title in Wigan against Thomas McDonagh, he was a character though, one time making two ring entrances for the one fight, the first as Frank Sinatra and the second in his scream mask lol.

[TheCobra]

He was always a bit unstable and a bit of an outsider so I guess he was prime fodder for radical Islam. I still remember that disgraceful video of him was it in Wooton Basseett I think, jeering the soldiers, something like that. Disgrace, should be deported for things like that.

[deadpan]

Bit of an oversight using Ali's 'slave name' in his guileless moniker.

Yes Mohammed Ali would not of approved of that, I remember he beat a fighter up for calling him it, "What's my name " whack !

Just jogged my memory I was at that fight it was dire. As for the post above that said he had a lot of fans on that night he had none!

Isn't it ironic that a name he picked was the one Ali dropped when he became a muslim

Elijah stripped Ali of his Muslim name when he publicly stated he wanted to fight again whilst in exile in 69. 'Mr Muhammed Ali has sporting blood, Mr Muhammed Ali wants a place in the sporting world. We will call him Cassius Clay'
( of course they weren't moaning about him fighting when he was making large wedges of $$ for them )

Knew Anthony a little when he was down at the Lodge. Quite a nice fella but always seemed a bit lost and a tad on the outside. As a boxer he was extremely difficult to reach and had a fair dig on him. Never a ticket seller so having the belt was key to him earning a few quid. Once that was gone and his step towards extremism made him a leper in Boxing circles and probably hastened him embracing it.

Real shame and fear it will not have a happy ending. The people pulling the strings behind the scenes will not be the chaps left facing the music - it will be the likes of Mr. Small.

Well said mate, I agree with everything you have wrote, I met him a few times as well, don't know what his next step will be now, hopefully he will get away from them, but the damage might already be done.

There's no such thing as a god though, it's a scientific impossibility and if i ran the country such people would be forced to be atheist or executed.

So if you ran the country you would force everyone to have your 'religious' views or execute them? : .... That's a bit barbaric.

I read them, but you seem to forgetting that the vast majority of Indians are Hindus, not muslims and the war was mostly won by British, American and Soviet, not to discount the brave efforts from many other nations that joined the fight against Hitler.

Research your history better. Many Muslims stood side by side British Forces in World War 2 in the North Africa protecting the British Empire. Many in India are Muslim also and more so in the time of the World Wars before India got separated which then produced Pakistan. Gain knowledge before you attempt to make claims.

Like saying all Catholics back the Ira

What a stupid, rediculous comparison.

Tell me you do not make this same comparison regarding muslims...

was going to tell him the same things myself, but thought it would be a waste of time, he will still believe what his warped mind thinks, not to mention there was a Muslim ruler of India before as well and many Arabs relocated there under the Muslim ruler, a lot are still there to this day.
