This whole thing where boxers pretend to hate each other....

[Stuarty]

Did Johnny Nelson and Carl Thompson not proper hate each other?

Pretty sure Nelson didn't, it was all stage managed. I think Carl had some genuine beef with Nelson and Ingle over the way they went about things - I think it was the second Eubank fight in Sheffield where he grabbed the mic post-fight and you could tell he was rattled. I mean, it was all a bit theatrical but I don't think any of it was "hate".

Ahh I couldn't remember. I thought there was a bit of a spat over some bird.

Vinny Pazienza and Greg Haugen didn't like or respect each other before their first bout but they did by their third.

Speaking of Nelson vs the cat........surely the worst stoppage in a world title fight in a British ring. You have to feel sorry for Thompson, he was in far worse condition against haye, eubank and that s African guy and he won all them. Anyone know why there wasnt a rematch? They were both promoted by warren as well

BJS towards Eubank Jnr.

Hagler towards Leonard.

Bellew towards Cleverly

Quite often seems to be one way traffic. I don't think genuine mutual animosity happens too often.

Mike Tyson didn't like Tyrrell Biggs before they boxed but he softened afterwards.

Gary O Sullivan and Anthony Fitzgerald weren't the best of mates before their scrap.

Darren Corbett seemed to dislike everyone he was in the ring with though it may have been an act.

Micky Hughes and Lloyd Honeyghan didn't get along and Darren Dyer weren't that keen on Lloyd either, neither was Marlon Starling! Honeyghan was a bit Marmite.

I remember a british fight where the guy beat his opponent and was then shouting "retire retire" to him. I think he knocked him out and the guy had said he would retire if he lost. I think he did actually retire. It was a black guy who won if I recall. This ring any bells with anyone?

Also whats the history behind that errol christie kaylor beef?

It's so boring. It happens every fight.

Does it ever actually fool anybody?

That stuff before Mosley-Mayorga the other week was cringeworthy. I felt embarrassed for the sport that they'd be that desperate to try and sell a few more PPVs/tickets.

[cfang]

Froch-Groves and Bellew-Cleverly were the most recent

Duran couldnt stand Leonard,remember the way he goaded Ray after the bell in their 1st fight

I effing loved that Roberto Duran,those crazy eyes

I thought it had a racial element but I could be wrong

[Rexob]

And who could forget the Herbie Hide Michael Bentt scuffle.

Chris Okoh vs Paul Lawson

Lawson always seemed very quiet and mild mannered, was harsh from Okoh.
