Let me tell you lads , I know I'm doing an ok job when I get comments like quite a few of you boys posted. I'm a sensitive little fecker, & Apollo,s post does make you question your role. I've always loved to box & you know what. My two kids & lovely misses benefit in every way when I'm living my dream. I knew I'd not be world champ. Why go for a few wins, get beat , lose heart, give up. I've always been a tuff little git, so why not try being a good journeyman. I'm proud as, fact!

Johnny your a credit to the sport mate

Where has Appollo Creed gone??? He has bottled it this much since the time Rocky wanted a re-match

Did the Georgian end up getting matched ?

I like you as a poster on here but you are one of the worst active professionals in Britain or Ireland. Let's face facts - you would gladly have taken the fans' money to go in there and get beaten. We all know it because you are paid, nine times out of ten, to lose.
Don't try to be the big fella about it on here please.

What a knob Im glad rocky knocked you out and drago killed you now.
Like to see you get beaten for a living. You another internet HW.
I suggest you stick to bullying kids on myspace, twitter and facebook

I honestly feel I do a good job taking these fights that everyone else blows out. I've boxed the best talents in boxing & feel as though I make them all work for it. I'm no champ but by god I'm not the worst in Britain. I've only been proper stopped twice & deserved more than a few wins. Your comments put a lump in my throat , no lie. Why do I get used so often , & on massive shows if as you said I'm crap. I'm not gonna start argueing with you . That would make two pricks, instead of one, you

Don't be put off by petty small-minded comments, Johnny. I don't know you, but I have seen you fight and I can see you have plenty of ability. You also have loads of bottle and your posts show you are a thoughtful and good natured bloke. So good luck to you, don't let other people's negativity get to you. It's their problem, not yours - and as you can see you have plenty of fans and supporters on this forum. All the best

Spot on merman

Who gives a shit what anyone thinks other then you....

I find great solice in this, every time someone throws an insult my way I try and remember this and it sets me straight again,

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

An incredible man, and an incredible speech (in full here http://www.leadershipnow.com/tr-citizenship.html)

Can I just say a big thanks to all of you for picking up the spirits . Your encouragement means a lot. Great piece of literature Geoff. Loved it. I'm not planning on going anywhere until I reach a ton. Sod the critics , given the right circumstances, I'll be looking for some more w,s & entertaining the crowds, cheers
