He called the Froch fight right and Froch did need a KO to win

Is Barry saying McCall would hand Fury's head on a platter or vice versa?

Someone like Francis would be ideal to give him rounds without dange but hes retired, Sprott would be a good step up but dangerous for a young inexperienced fighter. They want to avoid a Wlad-Purrity moment

I thought McGuigan came across very badly on ITV.

He was shouting Thaxton down and ranting over him. This is unprofessional. Thaxton - and the other Mick H fighters - do excellent work as pundits, and an experienced hat like McGiggle should be secure enough to let them have their word.

He came across as an arse slagging off Bunce on the 1st major Setanta show, as well, the row between the nitpicking studio boys and the ringsiders. Bunce replies, "It's alright for them, drinking tea and having their assistants printing records off BoxRec" or something.

Put that ego away, Barry.

Well said, and for me McGuigan is a terrible pundit, truly awful...and didn't someone on here once say he just used to turn up at fights having not done his homework and expect one of the crew to fill him in on a boxer's record etc?

I respected him as a fighter, but he annoys me..

Barry was a fantastic boxer but he is the worst pundit there is.

Despite being a world champion in the ring, he often comes across like he knows next to nothing about the sport.
