For all his criticism Spud is very well connected. Eric Guy does know most boxers in the south of England. Gomez is a long time friend of Carl Froch etc etc. So, obviously, when we get fanboy rants from posters on here about certain fighters, people on here will speak up because they know the person mentioned in reality. They are not boasting, just stating facts.

I've only ever met Antonio Tarver at the Froch Vs Dirrell fight and Michael Sprott because he goes to the same gym as me when I am back in the UK!

Oh, the irony

I'v found when people meet boxers they become full of themselves. They bang on about it and refer to themselves in the third person. Well let me tell you all that will not be happening to James Wilson.

King Geedorah spoke to Boxer X about the James Wilson situation over the phone. Promoter Y was listening in. Why? Dunno what it means, they just call him that.

That's heartening news.

Any details for his legion of followers?

Or, as the great man himself often said, are you not at liberty to disclose at this point in time?

by the heavyweight champion of the world. That is 10 out of 10 for pure brilliance as I bet Muhammad Ali didn't headhunt
Bundini Brown.

He was enthusiastic about boxing so he doesn't deserve to be ripped into too much.

In saying that I do remember Rhino posting a picture of Spud in his pants at some point. Pretty difficult to respectfully read a guys views when you know what he looks like half dressed.

Should we expect a significant increase Hatton related anecdotes from your good self Andy now that you are on the payroll? ;)

Ricky used to do that a lot, always the same that lad, could never get the hang of the old first person lark. Mind you, when we were kids he was no better, always pishing about (god love him). I used to constantly tell him "It`s not a tickling contest" but I don`t think he took any notice.
