what a silly comment. I am not sure there is any commercial value in me pushing a small channel about a boxer I like.

Dave Allen is a top bloke. I got to know him when he boxed for Dennis Hobson.

I am convinced he could have done something if he lived the life.

great to hear Spud, I've followed him since he'd had 2 fights as he's only up the road from me, he'd doing well managing Stevi and Joe Hayden. He has definitely underachieved, seems happy now he's got a family and 2 kids though. I don't think he takes a penny for training/managing them either.

When I knew him I used to give his girlfriend some banter which made him chuckle … his girlfriend then was a vet

You don't go to a beaten-up horse to get predictions on races, do you? Most (former) boxers have no clue what they are watching on an objective level. It's just emotions for them, and I'm not blaming them for it.

A former journeyman is Gen Sec of the BBBoC

Spencer Fearon is on most channels and was a journeyman/away fighter

And he's hardly a beaten up horse, he's got a good record and is always interesting.

Each to their own.

Yeah right, Spencer "GGG is just a plodder, I don't rate him" Fearon who thought Dillian Whyte was the next Larry Holmes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Didn't he also claim DeGale lost to Groves only because of his skin color? Clueless, just talking out of emotion with no understanding of what's really going on in the ring.

Dave Allen might be a likeable guy, I don't know much about him, but his ideas about Usyk and Fury have no substance behind them, just feelings.

I know lots about him, he knows lots about boxing, his grandfather was a boxer, his father had 30 pro fights and beat Herol G as an amateur, Dave got to national level quickly as an am, has sparred everyone and fought 30 pro fights, won much more than lost, taken fights on no notice, and lots of notice, headlined on telly, fought for Commonwealth title, beat a former world belt holder, fought Olympic champs and plenty of challengers, trains and manages pro boxers and has taken one to a title and the other to 14 and 0. Dave's thoughts have lots of knowledge and substance behind them.
