Spencer Fearon. Another tosser. Talks like a 15 year old kid.

Bellow. Always aggressive, even when he's a ring commentator. When he does box, doesn't do anything.

NOW! Kevin Mitchell who's in my eyes one of the nicest guys in boxing. Respects everyone. Tough as boots Kev, but has time for everyone. Gets on with people like a true hammer :TU:
I met Mitchell in our hotel when I was in Newcastle for the Khan v Salita fight. It was the day of his fight with Prescott and he would've been forgiven for being on edge and giving me the cold shoulder but a really nice guy and I got the feeling he would've stood and chatted all day.

I remember spitting feathers when I saw Graham Earl was in Katsidis corner for the Burns fight (pretty sure I was half cut at the time). To be fair I'm sure they're good pals but at the time I was well pissed off.
Paul Smith was with stablemate Crolla before he boxed Smith's fellow Scouser Derry. It's natural.

Agree with you on gallagher,a good trainer no doubt but loves the cameras and is a bigger shit stirrer than all of his fighters put together.

For me it's Chris Eubank, I can't stand him. Most people who are eccentric are funny, he's just odd and boring - because he takes his own persona much to seriously.

I heard last year that he gave a speech at Oxford, if that's true then I truly despair.

Paul Smith- Can't accept people have a different opinion to him and his attitude to people "who have never laced a pair of gloves" is disgraceful.

Joe Gallagher close second though....

Degale comes across pretty sound now. People seem to find it hard to let go of the Groves antics but George has knack of falling out with people (Degale, Froch, Booth, Fitzpatrick). Plus it was 4 and a half years ago!

He's only "nice" now cause he got beat and humbled. Degale wasn't liked by many before that because of his attitude. After losing he must of realised he had to change his image. I don't buy that at all.

I think he just grew up and got serious to be fair to him. He had a couple of gut checks after Groves on smaller cards and it seems to have worked for him. Him and Groves were like boys in the playground during the build up to their fight. I like him but I can also see why people wouldn't.

Can you swap him for that poncey reporter Gareth A Davies please ?
That wannabe fool really angers me,and it`s not just because of his daft hair.
I don't mind Gareth Davies.

My only gripe with him is why he insists on being known as Gareth 'A' Davies! :confused:

Which other Gareth Davies is he trying to differentiate himself from?

Have you noticed that it's only people who are either rich, famous or both that get called eccentric?

Anyone else who doesn't fall into these categories gets called crazy! :oo :DDD
