The Sun and Scouse Boxers

[ElJefe]

Cringing...it's surely the worst thread on boxrec right now!

Bellew ranting and moaning about a photo taken five years ago where Haye is merely showing that he beat Del Boy. Anti-scouse silliness and embarrassing pro-scouse ( I'm loving the 'picked on the wrong people' line though, in a cringeworthy thread, that's up there mate! ) bollocks thrown in for good measure. Bellew is a grade A wanker...stop the press!

Let's get back to the boxing chat eh? Leave all this wank to twitter divs

The "embarrassing pro-scouse" only starts when people try and take the piss. I have no problem with people thinking Bellew is over reacting to this considering the picture may have been old, but when you see some of the sly digs from a number of posters it's difficult to read without saying anything mate.

Rise above it. Why bother arguing with idiots who probably do get it and are just looking for a rise? Life's too short.

Easier said than done but you're right to be fair.

No I get it, it's a very emotive issue for some people. But there will always be people wanting to wind people up based on that stuff. I do believe Bellew is being manipulative here, I just don't think he's as stupid as he'd need to be to take offence at that photo, and to translate that photo into a slight on people from Liverpool? Nah, he's playing the game here for me.

[liamlion]

Yeah, perhaps that photo taken years ago and not directed at him in any way genuinely touched a nerve with tony bellew a fighter who just so happens to manufacture a 'beef' before every fight.

Why dont you message Tony Bellew on social media and ask him to explain it to you? And whilst you are there ask Paul Smith what he thinks about that picture and Haye's association with that rag. And then ask Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and Kenny Dalglish... I think you will find that Bellew isnt the only one who is unimpressed with Haye.

What has the age of the photo got to do with anything? And do you really not understand how someone so aloof like Haye advertising a toxic product like the Scum, which has caused such distress to the people of Liverpool may have offended a Liverpudlian?

I would love to ask their opinion of a boxer who posed with a picture of them winning a fight. I bet they wouldn't have the same reaction as Bellew. Do you know if Haye is even aware of the controversy with the Sun and the Hillsborough disaster? I imagine those people you mention would be intelligent enough to be measured in their response as they don't know Haye's intentions, he could and is likely just ignorant to the issues that some people have with the paper.

Cynic!

I honestly can't see any interpretation of this situation other than Bellew attempting to create animosity out of nothing. Even if he had just found out, and he was offended by the photo why would he discuss it in public? He's surely intelligent enough to understand it's just a picture of Haye celebrating his win over Chisora rather than a slight against the people of Liverpool? No one is that stupid, are they?

Is anyone who poses for a photo or story in the sun offending the campaign and the city?

Wasn't suarez interviewed by the sun and sourness? Both people who are extremely aware of the situation more than Haye when he did his photo after beating a fellow Londoner.

Liverpool isn't always on people's radar

The habitual whiners perpetuating a grudge from a generation ago will always find offence. You're right to say Liverpool isn't always on people's radar but these self obsessed moaners can't fathom such a situation.

Suarez gave an interview to a freelancer who then sold it on, the sun then claimed it as their own exclusive. It wasn't the first time that had happened.
Souness gave them an exclusive in what was possibly the most illl judged decision a man in his situation could make. He regrets it to this day.

[bripez]

Come on Scousers - where are you?

You were all over this thread the other day but have now disappeared.

[TheGman]

Scousers love victimhood.

I remember when that guy Ken Bigley got his head chopped off by ISIS and “the whole city was in mourning”…. How daft. Boris Johnson then got slated for calling them out on it (i.e. just saying what everyone outside Liverpool was thinking).

The Sun’s reporting on Hillsborough was clearly awful, but holding a city-wide grudge against a newspaper after all these years……

another sad case of a human mocking the dead,this country is going to the dogs

What are your thoughts on Boomer apparently exploiting the victims for his own financial gain?

Im not bellew biggest fan and to bring this up to get ppl against haye is a sh1tbags trick,u dont bring whats been brought up to sell a few more ppv and to get yhe whole city on your side,earlier i slated haye before seeing the pic and i hope haye absolutely destroys bellew within 3 rounds but i hope he makes the 3 rounds very hurtful.

If people want to boycott something let them,its a free country not a communist country,dont know why people on here have got their backs up cause people from merseyside want to boycott a paper that printed lies about its own people,baffles me to be honest. What would you do if your friends and family who have just been in a major disaster were accussed of something that you know wasnt true? Would you be best friends with the accusser?? No you wouldnt so stop now cause your making a fool of yourself

I think haye is aware but when he possed for this photo he wasnt mocking anyone,well maybe chisora but definitley not the people of merseyside and bellew is a proper low life for even insinuating this,fckin idiot how dare he bring this disaster into the massacre thats gonna unfold in march

I'm not bothered about the boycott. As I said I wouldn't buy the sun, one of those reasons being the same as you.

Edit
Sorry, only just seen that post above. Bellew exploiting is the only thing to be pissed off here and I see we agree.

[TheGman]

The Scousers have gone all quiet (for once) - maybe it is Giro day or something (only joking ... ).

Seriously though if Boomer or one of his mates have dug this up from 5 years ago to get some extra publicity then he is an absolute disgrace and need pulling on it.

Right im back,lived like a king yesterday when i got my sick benefit,back to noodles every night for the next 13 days ey

What I don't get is why you're not pissed off at bellew for exploiting this boycott to sell a few more ppv's as this Haye picture has absolutely nothing to do with Liverpool or offending the Jf96 campaign

Sorry freddy i wasnt meaning you i was meaning captaindikrod,im absolutley fumin about bellew bringing a paper from 5 years ago into his fight build up now trying to gather a hate campaign against haye. Bellew cant sell tickets look at goodison he has a fight there gets the smiths on and masher dodd(who is a massive ticket seller) and still cant do 20,000 tickets. Bellend thinks he is better than what he is

Turn it in mate seriously can you not see how ridiculous the above is? As I and a lot of others have posted on here I have no issue with the boycott of the Sun and think its commendable in truth, and don't read it myself. But of course the bloody age of the photo has something to do with it!!!! So Haye shouldn't have taken that pic with the Sun years ago in case he in the latter part of his career he fought someone from Liverpool???!!! Absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if it still is but the Sun was the biggest selling paper in the country - Haye goes where the money its that simple, he's not been brought up in an area that boycotts the paper and has very limited interest in football. Do you honestly get upset with everyone who reads the Sun? Surely you do your boycott and that is that if other people want to buy it more fool them.

There are lots of things I choose not to do but I don't feel the need to dictate to everyone else what they should or shouldn't e.g I'm not the biggest fan of the Mirror which published photos of British soldiers supposedly mistreating Iraqi POWS that turned out to be fake. I don't hate Barry Mcguigan who I believe used to write a feature in there or Bellew because he's appeared in there (I'm assuming).

I genuinely thought the one thing people might all agree on in this thread after lots of nonsense was spoken, was that Bellew was a complete pudendum for stooping to those sort of levels to sell a fight some things really are not necessary and should have been left alone.

I'm more upset with the Michael Shields comments. Ok, he got tied to the radiator for 24 hours and locked up for years, but anyone would think he was Terry Waite.

So according to tony bellew david haye has been disrespectful with this pic of the paper no one buys on merseyside,i live on merseyside and am a die hard liverpool fan and,to me,david haye wasnt mocking anyone with this shot,it was after the derek chisora fight and the event was sponsored by the paper,this is tony bellews ploy to get everyone on merseyside to turn on haye,im not buying into it and hope haye splats bellew for insulting all of us and bringing up the disaster to try and get him more exposure for his fight,tony fck off and promote ur fight with dignity and stop bringing crap up that has nothing to do with u and ur fight
