or just not mention ali at all, since ali was an amazing fighter, has a 1 of a kind wit and personality, was civil rights fighter who put his principles before his career, and didnt just get by on having huge fake tits, creepy social media fanbois, and gift decisions
bridges is more dave allen, if his drawing power was due to his huge bulge

I rate gareth. he's one of the few journalists who actually cares about and pushes combat sports with a passion (plus is quite knowledgeable). he asks more interesting questions than the usual run of the mill shtick too, guys like fury tend to open up to him. but predictably, arsehole fight fans (the ones who moan that boxing doesnt get enough mainstream coverage...) slate him basically cos he looks a bit different.
For me, as a journalist, he is complete head and shoulders above Bunce. No comparison. some of bunces articles are just woeful.
stevie loves to hate boxing fans
i wouldn't know his journalism (or Bunce's) so I'm only aware of his contributions to Bellator and the various boxing bits I've seen him in, where his shreaking fanboyism and fluffing of the promoter's fighters (the last one which I remember most clearly was over Garcia in the Campbell; fight) are as nauseating as I have ever seen on screen. Made Adam Smith look like A J Liebling
slate him basically cos he looks a bit different.
honestly you've never just taken against someone for how they look? it's a human instinct, i think I even read once that it's hard-wired into us, on like a genetic/evolutionary level, one of those evolutionary things that had a different basis when we were cavemen but now hate people like potential enemies because of their choice of neckwear.
speaking of which I don't know if said neckwear is going to show below but I hope so, are you saying you don't think it's fair to instantly judge the scarf-wearer below as an obvious bellend? :

well, lots of us did, you've been on the forum long enough to have seen dozens of people expressing doubts over Joshua's stiffness, lack of stamina etc, and for years
He's a fine swordsman, so I'm told! Although I don't have first hand experience.
This point is always made whenever conversation turns to Gareth on here and I think to myself who’s gonna bother telling someone that a random boxing journo has a big dick and so I always assumed that the person posting this info was Gareth himself . Judging by his narcissistic personality it seems just the kind of thing he’d do.
So milpool spill the beans ….. are you Gareth ?
Swordsman is a name for someone who shags lots of hot women.

knowing how paul smith interacts on social media, i really doubt he was some poor little guy being abused by a bunch of meanies, im sure he reaped what he sowed, the dude is just impossible
I was recently having a discussion with Paul Smith on twitter. He was saying something about how sports people literally don't care about what fans think or say about them.
I replied saying he sounded bitter and that most sports people do in fact care and that there are plenty of examples of this.
He then sent me a direct message calling me a piece of shit, before blocking me.

What kind of question is that post-fight? at 14:44 of the video.
Seriously, you have to be an absolute cretin to say something as crass as that after a fight.

I can only presume Davies is making reference to something Fury said in the build-up? Surely he wouldn’t just ask something like that completely out of the blue? It’s a stupid question anyway, obviously.

Tyson gets on well with Gareth so perhaps Tyson mentioned something to him pre fight. If not then it’s a dick question.
