Don't want to sound rude, but its not much of an update.

Glad he's over his injury though.

ha ha.. has ugly woollatt changed his t-shirt again, uk boxingpress representative now..... and an article that is an update which absolutely updates us with nothing. we knew clinton had an injury, we knew he was in talks with everyone, and we know FA fighters are after the lucrative options rather than the domestic battles we all want to see.

hatton v witter and woods/calzaghe/froch are all fights that we (the boxing public) want.

please mr spudly, you are mr hobsons right hand man now that mr waterman has become pissed off. can you please mr woollatt, secure meaningful domestic fights for your charges...

Fair comment, although the Chad Dawson info was news to me, as was confirmation on the dates they are now thinking of.

Why does Hobson want washed up Tarver or Jone's for Woods? Wonder how past It Castillo Is.

Can Hobson only get big fights for them when the other guys past It?

I'd pay to see Wood's fight Dawson though, Wood's Is more proven than Adamek.

I wouldn't be in any hurry to feed him to dawson, who would beat him up...neither tarver nor jones will inflict the same hurt and they would likely be bigger ticket sellers...

Yes I fear Clinton would take a bit of a beating from Dawson.

cos its all about money. it should be all about prestige and legacy, shit, i could KO muhammad ali right now (i think) but it does not make me great just cos ive got alis name on my resume.

Its the same (almost) right through the sport though, and to be fair these guys have a short shelf life. Cant see Clinton, no disrespect to him, making a great deal post boxing.

If you were offered a million to fight Ali now, or 50k to fight povotkin, i think you'd take the million.

you are right mate in what you say, money will always play a part, but its just a shame that these guys never fight the best options available domestically, not just FA fighters but most of the top level fighters in this country. boxing must be the only sport where the top level fighters can never meet yet still call themselves 'best in the world'

Adamek wasn't as proven as Johnson though I don't know and Adamek got hype for his wars with Briggs.

Dawson Is quick though, but Woods Is a counter puncher while Adamek's a brawler.
