you'd do the same...any of you.

You, me or most people turning pro and getting beaten up in a small hall show in Wallsall or wherever wouldn't harm boxing as nobody would care about it or get to see it.

Flintoff on prime time tv having a beating in the ring renders our sport into a joke - again!

Exactly. Name me another sport where a celeb could "give it a go" and top a bill over professionals who have made it their lives work, on live television and gaining more column inches then 99% of the rest of the competitors in the UK? Probably to earn more money in one fight than the majority of them will manage in their careers.

If it has to happen, then it should be an organised exhibition against a fellow lardy bastard who is "giving it a go"

Yeah, good point.

I cant imagine Ricky Gervais will be opening the batting on Englands tour of India.

though Gervais vs Flintoff over 4x3's sounds like a good idea to me. just keep it on Children in Need or Sport Relief where it belongs

Winner gets James Corden, we could be on to something here?

Now we are talking - James Corden in a boxing ring - bring it on!

I would rather see Corden take on Flintoff in a pedalo race into the North Sea if we are being honest.

Yeah, I hate to go with the flow, but i agree.

Boxing isnt in such a bad state that it needs a beer swilling, unfunny, northern panel show guest getting in the ring to raise interest.*





















* Im talking about Andrew Flintoff, not Ricky Hatton, by the way.

Rugby League has seen Gary Mason and Dwain Chambers try their luck. And both were useless. Adam Fogerty, no am experience. did ok at Boxing before going pro at Rugby League, too.

you are probably right just a joke

I'd pay good money to see Ricky Gervais in a boxing ring, but only if the opponent was me.

Can't stand Gervais.

He would beat you easily.

Probably. It's just knocking that overrated unfunny twat on his arse was a nice picture.

And I'll smash James Corden on the undercard...
