we're all saddos, that's why we post on the internet.

right now though, there's no reason for anyone to be overly impressed by jeffries, is there?

Do you think everything is over anylised nowadays?
1 bad performance doesn't mean the end for any boxer, but in the modern age , the boxer can't look at anything without his performance being picked clean by 'experts' and 'anoraks'.

A few years ago he would of got a few newspaper reports and the write upin BN, after a couple of weeks he couldn't of read about it, unless he kept rereading the old reports, but now a boxer that goes online can get it brought up day after day.

After a while thats got to effect even the strongest willed person.

Truth is, nobody likes criticism, which is why a lot of fighters don't post.

But I'm sure they read.

In Jeffries case, he is getting deserved criticism. Lets face it, we all knew he was limited from day 1. He was Kenny egans easiest fight in the Olympics. Sutherland would have marmalised him.
