Curtis Woodhouse....

[TopGun]

Curtis gets lots of appreciation on here because:

a) He's an exciting fighter to watch, who puts it all in there.
b) He seems like a decent bloke.
c) He posts here, and we appreciate that.

We could do with more like him.

Good point.

[lefty]

I hope that Curtis realises that the OP is in the very minority with his views.

[curtis wood]

I do pal

[lefty]

Good to hear

[johnswan1]

Great response Curtis, but no need to have to justify yourself at all to the OP who is clearly an attention seeker. Unfortunately with all forums, if a well known person comes on, you have a queue of anonymous keyboard warriors wanting to bait them in order to give their own pathetic lives some sort of meaning. Is the OP a world class operator in whatever his does on a day to day basis? And if he isn't, does that mean he should quit and try to find something else he's world class at?

Keep up the hard work and would be fantastic to see you land a British title some day.

[SAPFO]

There are some idiots on here. Someones on a windup, it seems like a sock pupped account created recently.

99.9% of boxers will never become a world champion. Without people like Curtis doing the grass roots scene, there would be no elite boxing.

[Gordon KOs]

I'm not trolling him. He's just not deserving of being considered a world class fighter. Sure he is a magnificent athlete but a world class boxing not a chance

To be fair mate, I dont think anyone, himself included has ever said he was world class. He's a good domestic level fighter who wants a domestic title if I remember correctly. You cant hate on him for that.

Why be the athlete that Woodhouse is and be content with being mediocre or less as a fighter??

ha ha brilliant!! 1st i know im not world class, never have been, never will be, I think im a decent domestic operator that with a bit of luck can one day be british champion, my comeback fight was against somebody I was expected to beat and I did and boxed well IMO, don't forget I got chinned 6 weeks ago who do you want me to comeback against? lewis was a tough kid who was bigger and stronger than me who got his nose broke in round 2, dropped by a hard body shot in round 5 and still kept coming, show the man a bit of respect, and if I should retire then what about the 20 kids ive beat, should they all retire? boxing is not only for world champions and future world champions, its for kids at all levels, me included, I love my job and ill decide when its over for me not you

Look Curtis, I have a right to be a critic. You're a world class athlete but not a very good boxer in my opinion. I've bought tickets to see your fights live twice and I feel it's my right as a consumer of boxing to state my "opinion".

I'm not challenging you nor am I insulting you directly. I respect you for getting inside the ring and fighting. I just can't see why an "athlete" of your stature would continue to be mediocre.

What are you on about?? Read his posts, he does this because of his love for the sport. You say you went to see him fight twice and I bet you got your monies worth as he's never in a dull fight. What is he supposed to do?

I enjoy his fights and I am a fan of him BUT as a fan I hate to see someone like him fall into the journeyman category.

There's a big difference between kicking a ball and punching someone in the face, the skills aren't exactly transferrable, yes Curtis is an excellent athlete, but the same could be said for Mo Farah, would he make a good boxer?

You're a bellend

[wrimc]

If you dont appreciate Curtis then you don't really appreciate boxing. Here is a man that moved away from a comfy and comparatively safe and lucrative career to try his hand at something he really wanted to do and made a success of it.

He is willing to fight anyone he is humble honest but will have a go.

Wish there were more fighters like him

Gordon surly its up to me what I do with my life? im a good athlete yes and ive been fortunate to have had a good football career but I wanted to try my hand at something else, id always been a boxing fan like yourself but I wanted to see if I could do it for real, I love my sport and have never given anything other than 100% in every fight ive ever had, and ive been in some very good scraps along they way, if anything ive overachieved in boxing with the talent ive got, becoming the champion of England, don't feel bad for me pal im loving every second of it, my other option was to carry on picking up thousands of pounds a week in a job I had zero love for, ive lost a few and ill lose a few more along the way but if you buy a ticket to watch me fight I can always promise ill give every ounce ive got win lose or draw, don't judge me just sit back and enjoy the ride pal, lifes too short

let me tell you this,son,journeymen are more important than the world champions of boxing,these guys give the future area,english,british,european and world champions the lessons they need to learn to get to were they wanna be in this sport. also curtis is not a journeyman he is a fighter trying his best to achieve his dream. imagine someone telling you that you were shit at your job or shit at signing on?
