Fighter you was glad to see beaten.

[whiteboy]

Khan losing to Prescott was fantastic. Like him a lot more these days. The stuff coming out of his mouth while beating up on the likes of Gomez, St-Clair, etc was unbearable.

Antony Small…… Hail Sam Webb

Good posts

I loved seeing Broner getting carried away by security crying after the Maidana fight I have a good feeling he will get KO'd this year.

Matthysse smashing that drug cheat Peterson was enjoyable however the cheat still has his World Title so hopefully Danny Garcias left hook does the business in a few weeks.

Even though I'm not keen on Stevenson I didn't mind him doing a job on Bellew after his prefight antics.

Yes Chavez Jr getting beat by Martinez was good to prove he is not a World Champion and never will be.

Degale getting beat by Groves was enjoyable though Degale has got his act together now so don't mind him.

I loved seen Bute getting beat in the manner he did by Froch. Nothing against him but just everywhere online saying he was going to come over and demolish Froch really annoyed me considering Carl had foguth far superior opposition.

Nothing against Anthony Joshua at all personally I think he is good but I wouldn't mind him getting beat just to shut Eddie and sky talking about him being a god of boxing. He hasn't been hit back yet !!

Junior Witter getting beat and thrown out of the ring in the Prizefighter final with El Machi. Was fitting that someone with a dull as dishwater, awkward unusual style should get out-awkwarded in a bizarre 3 round fight.

I never took to Junior Witter.

He seemed to spend a large portion of time insulting & trying to goad Ricky Hatton into a fight.

I'm so glad that Hatton never fought him, because he didn't deserve a big payday that a Hatton fight would have brought.

I think he did deserve a big payday,he went on a very long unbeaten run prior to winning the WBC title,he wasn't exciting to watch,in fact he was absolutely infuriating at times,but Hatton refusing to give him a big payday was wrong and Just like Khan deciding who gets payed what,that winds me up.

That wound me up too Jack, the styles would have made for a good bout and Junior was hitting very hard; Hatton didn't have to like Witter and they could have built it so both made big money; if Benn and Eubank and Froch and Groves can see past personal animosity so should Hatton and though he went on to brilliant things I still think there was a calculation that Witter could have turned him over or made him look a fool.

That's why i was over the moon when Mayweather and Pacman sparked him,if he hated Witter that much he should have tried to give him a beating like almost every other fighter would have and forgot about the money.

I agree it would have been a great fight. The thing is Ricky didn't need it because he was that big and could fight pretty much anyone and make a mint. Junior, on the other hand, had far fewer options and was desperate for the fight. IMO Ricky just didn't have time for Junior so chose not to fight him, probably because he wasn't impressed with the way Witter used to call him out.

Another thing, I think with hindsight that the Judah match was a bad move for Junior. He was an exciting fighter with power but he looked boring against Judah and it hurt his image with Joe public for a long time. Junior was knocking people over for ages after that fight, but no-one seemed to care. I think the Judah fight sent him into the boxing "wilderness" for longer than he needed to be there.

funny enough always wanted to see Joe Calzaghe lose. only ever wanted joe to win against jones jr, hopkins. he showed me

I agree that the Judah bout hurt Junior's career, the US television execs wanted a destructive display from Judah and Witter's tactics made him look afraid and Judah seem ineffectual. Apparently they put the kibosh on showing Witter again, it is a real shame - toward the end of his career Junior looked ungainly and badly coordinated but at his peak he had an effective defence and hit very hard and with accuracy - crap fighters don't go on 15 fight knockout streaks.

hurt his image? bs, hatton v witter was the biggest fight that could be made in the UK for some time, it would have shifted plenty of tickets. hatton ducked him because losing was a real possibility thanks to witter's style. judah was the next big thing in boxing at that time and didnt junior take it at short notice? watch the fight again and he actually did pretty well all things considered. hatton acheieved a lot in his career but not facing witter is a blot on it all (plus the wbu nonsense)

[banjo]

Personally I'm more annoyed at the fact he missed Gatti, Cotto and Judah more than Witter but hey ho, he did beat Eamonn Magee though.

Hatton was at the stage where he could fill the MEN against anyone, he didn't need Witter. He might have put up a good fight against Judah, but watching it back, it was hardly exciting stuff, which was pretty typical for Witter and US TV wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, they gave him a fight against N'Dou out there on HBO, he stunk the place out and they wouldn't show him again. It was just never going to happen, there was no reason for Hatton to fight Witter when he was boring, couldn't draw flies to shit, the fight would be a dull, horrible mess and it wouldn't be on TV in America. He had bigger and better options than fighting Junior Witter and chose to go down that route instead, I don't see how he can be blamed for that.

Broner and Alan Minter for me, a couple of very unpleasant seeming blokes.

Khan is still a bit of a knob.

"You know, I call George Groves Ugly Kid. Ugleee Kid. I call him that because he's ugly. Ugleeeeee. It's personal between me and you Ugly Kid. Ugleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. UGLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oi, I haven't finished my interview. I've got another joke for you. It's about how ugly George Groves is. Ugleeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ugleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I was glad when Gomez beat Alex Arthur, all the hype around Arthur and the way Gomez was written off really wound me up I was cheering when Gomez broke through.

That was still one of my favourite fights - the jocks were going mad !!

I also agree about Hatton and Witter, it was a potentially very big fight that could easily have been made but Witters style made him too dangerous.

I would not suggest for a minute that Hatton personally would have ducked the fight, but from a business sense he was probably advised to keep away - one thing is for sure I bet that Hatton is fed up being asked about it and for someone who likes the free ale and pie dinners at the after-dinner events he will continue to be asked about forever into the future.

Andy Lee seems a lovely man and has developed into a really good fighter but I was cheering Brian Veda on in their first fight; I just admired Vera's guts and his bravery.

I also was cheering when Ishida beat James Kirkland.

I'm sure Ricky can handle the questions at the after dinner events he's paid thousands to attend, plus free ale and pies, of course.

Gerald McClellan was a seriously 'orrible fella. I wouldn't wish what happened to him on anybody, mind you I wouldn't wish dog fighting on anybody.

Broner, and Bellew. Bellew feels a bit harsh, but he was a pain leading up to Cleverley 2.

[ajwesty13]

Definitely Broner. What a prick.

we have a winner... it was also great the way boner left the ring in tears

I am looking forward to danny garcia getting KO along with his dad.. however theres not much in the way of talent in that division anymore and knowing Garcia hel hold on to belts and properly wont even move up weights...

Spot on, and that is something a lot of people seem to forget, professional boxing is a business, always has been. Charley Burley was avoided by several top fighters in the 40's including Sugar Ray Robinson because it didn't make financial sense.
