Wasn't it you that said Small was good enough to mix with the best of British ?
It's obviously everyone elses fault.
If only these opponents would fight like Anthony wants them to .......
Taxi.

i still say he's good enough to mix with the best of british.
bring on rhodes anytime.
don't get above ya station cos he beat moore.
the same moore that had life or death scraps with honest british level fighters like michael jones and andrew facey.
i give rhodes credit in that i weren't convinced he'd even win a british title ever again.
his style is much tighter nowadays and if he gets a title shot good luck to him. ;;-)

Who mentioned Rhodes ?
Pryce and Webb would both beat Small.
So now you're pulling Moore down ?
Make your mind up, couch potato.

Dreadful contest with Small trying to showboat and looking very stupid in the progress, McDonagh wasn't really in Small's league but Small wasnt throwing I had it 114-114

not putting anyone down.
just putting things into perspective.
i said the other day that small was disappointing against pryce.
i still think the stoppage in that fight was a bit early.
and i'd like to see a rematch.
i think small would beat sam webb.
i brought up rhodes cos he's no1 in the country.
therefore best of british. ;;-)

I like Small but he was useless on Friday and like the article says the highlight of the night was his entrance.
McDonagh however was really bad, Small has shown in fighting the likes of Hall and Takaloo when he's up for it he's a good fighter, and like someone said you expected a bad fight when McDonagh who's a poor fighter and had lost an eliminator against a guy who had 14 fights or something.

Don' forget, this was just one fight.
Anthony Small is not the only British Champion to put on a poor performance.

I suggest you look through his back catalogue Whicker.

26, I know it's hard to believe after watching that garbage but Whicker has a point. That makes it even more crazy. He has shown spurts of class when he stops pratting about. I'm just not really prepared to hang about to see them.

Awful fight.
I sat ringside and scored it 115-114 to Mcdonagh. Scores were split amongst my company but what was agreed was that it was an absolute shocker.
Is Small popular in London????? He seems to be the away fighter n awful lot.

Small's been involved in quite a few dull fights.

For me Small vastly over rates himself and in addition whilst he brings a bit of interest with his banter which I like and think boxing needs the hype here and there - it would be great to see him sparked - dislike him - but not as much as Khan.

Again, though- he's by no means the only British level fighter to have some less than spectacular performances (and opponents) in his "back catalogue."
More to the point- he has won all but one of them- and does have a high knockout ratio.
