There are a few fighters I always cheer against. Broner for one - such a tool. Prince Patel (though I never actually see his fights until after the event. Top class wanker).
It's arrogance for me. I can't stand it. I know people say that it's playing to the crowd and playing the heel or whatever, but I could never act like such an almighty dickhead for all the money in the world.
Totally with you there , couldn't wait for Hamed to get beaten , don't know whether it was an act for most of the part , but he was one arrogant see you next Tuesday .
I went to Pat Barretts world title fight and Hamed sat next to me for half an hour,he was ok with me

If he hasn't tested positive, and you're just making him guilty without him being proven guilty. Your opinion doesn't matter.

No matter how sure you are someone has done something, if there's no proof, they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I personally assume most Pro athletes are probably on something, but if they never get caught, well...they're doing something right. So more power to 'em (in this case literally).
I’m guessing from the massive muscle growth 14lbs muscle over Christmas, and the huge Irregular bone growths on his knuckles and other places which are clear HGH signs. Would I bet everything I own that he’s juicing? Absolutely, without hesitation - all the signs are there. Lance Armstrong never failed a test. Nor did Tommy Morrison and he admitted he’d been juicing since 18
The problem is especially in this day and age you can't be sure what's been pumped into the animals who's meat your eating.

Disliked Froch alot, due to his attitude and the pompous behaviour of a certain poster on here, you all know who I'm talking about. Wanted to see him get sparked out, but as a secondary consolation his humbling by Ward and the fact he lived rent free in his head until even after he retired was enough

Someone will have to knock him out to do that, and he looks sturdy as anything. Mayweather whitewashed him and came away with a MD on his record.

I would love for GGG to finally counter 'Mexican Beef' with some 'Kazakh Horse', ala Marquez vs Manny, and nail the ginger c*nt to the canvas.

banjo wrote: 28 Jun 2020, 10:14 I used to have a love-hate thing with Fury mainly because of his idiotic gobshitery and that he tended to appeal to the appalling lad culture we have in the UK, these days I like the guy, he may not be everyones cup of tea but he's a refreshing antidote to the AJ PR machine and he seems much more at peace and not as angry at the world since his comeback.
Fury's comeback has been so far beyond what any us thought he could achieve, it's flabbergasting. I straight up disliked him at one point after following him from his pro debut as a fan, and now think he's the most important British sportsmen to come from these shores in years. If both fighters keep going on their current trajectories, and if they fight, Fury might just get the hero's welcome and AJ might enter the ring to a chorus of boos and be the 'heel'.

That would have been unthinkable two or three years ago.
It is incredible the way he's comeback, especially when you look at what state he was in just a year prior to the first Wilder fight.

He's got a head like a butcher's block, and a neck like a bull, only way I see him getting knocked out is if he carries on too long, or moves up again in weight, which I think is unlikely - he actually looked very strong at light heavyweight.

It seems obvious he's absolutely busting with PEDs, no way anybody moves from 147 to 175 and looks like that without help.

I would love to see GGG knock him sparko, but it's not going to happen, not unless he works out a plan where he focused more on the body to try and hurt him, because that massive noggin's not going to crack.

Again no hatred, but I think Steve Cunningham is an unpleasant tool now, when in the past I admired him and felt like he was unlucky to not get the nod in a few fights. I guess he probably feels that too and that combination of (not unwarranted) saltiness and being punched in the head for a living has led to him being how he is now: not just somebody that I would ignore and not ask for an autograph if I saw him out and about but somebody I might actively cross the street to avoid :confused:

I don't mind Joe Egan generally but he achieved nothing in boxing and gets treated as if he did. What really pissed me off was seeing him act the hard man with Tim Witherspoon. Witherspoon is a gentleman but at the same time he is as hard as they come. Mouthy Egan squares up to him here and I'm not sure he realizes that he's squaring up to the toughest man he's ever met. He's lucky Witherspoon had too much class to sort him out there and then. Egan seems like the type of guy who'd square up to Riddick Bowe in the street and then be shocked that he is taking a serious hiding on the spot.

Couldn't stand Naz. Respected the brilliance but the arrogance grated. Had to wait a long time before
i cracked open the Pomagne (working class champagne). God bless MAB for doing the deed, with the added
bonus of a turnbuckle head smash thrown into the mix. :OhYes:

Witherspoon is a class fella but could have wiped the floor with that clown in 2 seconds if he wanted to

Witherspoon and Egan have been doing the dinner circuit together for years, I think they get on, I don't think there was much to see there. Met them both a few times and are nice guys.

Egan is typically the sideshow, speaks well, quite charismatic, lived an interesting life too. Boxing wise he has some interesting stories.
Also I think he does a bit of the graft behind the scenes to set up these gigs to get his piece of the pie.

Is Egan an actor or 'hard man' or something. How is someone who was such an unaccomplished boxer up there with guys like Chuvalo, Morrison, and Spoon?

But probably I have the least favorite boxer, so to speak, and I call him like that for the reason. It's John Ruiz, he was an absolutely boring, foulish, judges and Don King aided clinching machine and eventually a huge overachiever.
The most exciting fight i seen that boring mofo in was against Tua haha

On the one hand I want to thank Tuaman for providing us that highlight real blasting of John 'more hugs than Wlad and Jack' Ruiz, but on the other hand , that might have been what created mr hugs

Still it's pleasing to watch this fight. And also Haye sending Ruiz to the retirement with dirty mofo Ruiz crying to the ref about Haye fouling, while Haye was whupping him.

Used to dislike tyson fury but now i think he is amazing,he has brought so much attention and helped mental health sufferers.
Loved the way when he was asked if he gave his purse to charity he just said "notjing to do with you and if i did i didnt do it for publicity" some boxers need to take a look at this guy and realise that this is class.
I used to like AJ but now i think he is as fake as katie prices bóòbs,he thinks he is so important when he is a boring as fck,he has the personality of a pool cue,same old dross comes out of his mouth before and after every fight. Who the fck records themselves giving a woman with kids around her ankles money? Hmmm someone who wants people to think he is humble and helps the people in need....FAKE and classless.
Dislike Eddie Hearn,fŕank wàrren and Don King.
