The bloke seems a gobshite infront of the cameras&loves the sound of his own voice,not my cup of tea..
To be fair though Tommy, Wayne battered just about everyone around back then. I prefer the quiet people but if they are going to be loud and brash I prefer them to do it with a bit of humour and I think Spencer is just this side of it, though I can imagine him making people pull their hair out.

don't know him or hate him but the whole 60's Nation of Islam act with the clothes and the chat can be a little irritating.

I like Spencer. I find quite funny and you can tell he really loves the sport. People listen to the boring, recycled b*llocks Fury churns out and seem to find that entertaining.
This guy compared to Fury is fvcking golden

How is what Fury says recycled? I don't think he has any clue what he's going to say, could you really see Fearon coming out with something like 'The bath bit me'?

I Anthony Farnell was part of the group. My old brain is fuzzy on this though. I just remember a couple of fight posters....

Fearon's a strange one... He can be really warm and nice and another day be arrogant and rude.
I thought the head to head with Coldwell was on the ugly side.
I've heard that he was disrespectful to Wayne Alexander, who is a sound, humble guy as well as a top fighter. Who knows......

To some, maybe. To others he is anything but. He comes across as a right bellend most of the time, so where is the difference? And please don't say Fury is funny. He ain't, in my opinion.

Mick Hennessy. Class of 2001? Farnell wasn't in it. Froch, Thirlwall, Beavis, Walker, Meager off the top of my head. All on BBC1.

Matthew Thirlwall and Lee Meager......they were gutsy guys (aswell as Walker, of course).

I can't stand to listen to him as an analyst/commentator as he doesn't articulate himself well (in my opinion). No idea whether he is nice bloke or not but as I said for me he just doesn't cut the mustard as an analyst at all.

He comes across brash and loud/agressive then smiles at the very end. Not my cup of tea. Talks like a 16 year old. Should not be on TV.

He's terrible in front of a camera, knowledgable boxing fans can't take him serious ( IMO)
He's a bell end
