Mickey likes to give the impression that he is in the inner circle of the (usually traveller) underworld.Lenny wrote:Yeah don't grass on a grassmickey1975 wrote:No. I'm know the person and the facts. I'm not naming him, upsetting a lot of friends in my area just to proove a stranger wrong.
But why mention it at all?
He makes a lot of posts about certain characters or situations making half baked inferences without actually saying anything.
Just like Parsons going on about "an announcement soon" from Kell Brook - wow, there's a shock statement !
How about this one - Mayweather will be making a big announcement soon (does this mean that I am in the know?).
The Internet - providing an outlet for Walter Mitty types for the last 10 years.
Re: Graham Earl
Most of us have social lives outside of boxrec and there are a variety of people we know and different situations we get to hear about, I don't think Mickey is a Walter Mitty - I once made the mistake of naming someone on here who'd allegedly done something and the said man contacted me by private message - it's best to be circumspect sometimes.

Re: Graham Earl
I don't like to infer anything and the kid in question is not a traveller. I will inbox real boxing people the guys name. And to question Parsons... This, from a guy who insulted me for days because I told him Floyd-PAC wouldn't be more than £25. You make Lefty look like Bob Mee, prick.
Re: Graham Earl
I think people need to look at the pattern of behaviour Graham displayed in recent years trying for come backs desperate for money.
He was like many before him searching for something he had lost ie his career/life.
He also hails from a tough part of London were the rents and living costs are massive where you fight your way out or like many turn to 'crime' which on that manner moving a bit of powder is as normal a thing as moving second hand cars.
Graham is a victim of the harsh reality that is boxing draws you in chews you up and in most cases spits you out.
If he had topped himself we would all be saddened I believe we should be saddened by his imprisonment.
We all make mistakes and some us pay and some of us dont he was a game as fella who wasn't the sharpest tool in the box I'm sure he was ideal as a stash house or foot soldier I would be amazed if he was the master mind given the hammer he took in his career.

Lefty was allright though, hope you are keeping well, if you are reading.
Re: Graham Earl
i remember reading a piece in the north east in which Dave Garside the promoter basically said that it was a hobby and that every time he put on a show (small hall) it cost him money. So, as an earner, after the lads have been paid for their evening's work, he (Earl) wouldn't have been looking at much, if anything. Not unless a Carl Froch or somebody walks through your door.expe wrote:Probably made good money while he was fighting and from his first fight with Bobby Vanzie to fighting Khan I think he would have been a full time pro. But he won't have made anywhere near enough to retire off and when he retired he needed to find another way of earning, promoted a few shows, tried managing and training fighters and eventually made a comeback. At some point he will have fallen into dealing as a way of paying the bills.REEVE wrote:Would he not of made some decent ££ in his career ?
A a poor do though when you think "ah - that's the best idea, i'll sell some of this".
I was also about to say he looked lik Jim Royle aka Ricky Tomlinson.
Re: Graham Earl
i hate it when I see lads that have a big beard and a little shirt that they button all the way up to the top button. They sometimes cap it off with spectacles which are probably just plain glass, i.e. do not alter your vision in any way at all.

I think the term is "Hipster". This one isn't wearing specs, but has got the obligatory sleeve tattoos.

Don't you need a folding bike as well?
Re: Graham Earl
Reading? The lickle voyeur is probably posting. Allthem well wishers enquiring about his welfare then somebody pops up and said he's fine. I think he's some kind of mod on some little grass looked greener over there site.

Isn't Graham Earl from Luton? Still pretty rough there too...
