Eh I can,t believe I'm not number 1.... I'll be honest mate I haven,t done anything to be ranked anywhere near that high yet.. I can and will try though mate. I had a little giggle to myself when I seen it thanks though mate, I hope you keep that faith in me as the journey continues. As for Jaffa, give him time, he did have a bad night but eh it happens.. I wish him luck for the future I really do.. .

And after 6 rounds, I had it level anyways.

Anyhow, my thoughts on this.

Tony strikes me as a good guy with talent.

But a boxer's ego is a delicate baloon, easily inflated, easily pricked.

Spud makes an interesting point, which isn't a sentence I often construct, when he reminds us of Tony's preference for personal, one-to-one attention as opposed to the group dynamic of Joe G's place or perhaps Brian Hughes' place.

Each to their own of course.

I think at the time he said it was because Joe G didn't have enough time with him, what with a day job and other fighters, isn't that right?

I agree to a certain extent BUT it didn't do Jermain Taylor any harm I personally love the game but it can be hard and I do enjoy switching off after fights. After that I will add that after a week off Im itching to get back in the gym.. I think it's a double edged sword.. Ultimately it's a sport that you have to really live if you wanna do anything in it though, If I could give any young kid any advice then I would just have 2 words, LIVE IT........

Yeah thats what i was getting at Tony,Regarding Taylor that is a very valid point and he's had a vey successful career but to me he had the ability to be even better than he was/is!His athletic ability was very high and he had solid boxing skills but he's been beaten by guys in Pavlik and Froch who i dont actually believe are as talented he is but maybe more determined though!I do understand your point completely regarding boxers having to switch off though as otherwise it would drive you insane with all the pressure and focus that you guys put in to it!Nice talking to you anyway mate,You didnt jump down my throat for criticising him but you were fair and balanced and stated your opinion so im grateful for that. :)

jackhammer wrote:love the fact u think im a fella which goes to show u know nothing if u read my post correctly i wasnt disrespecting any boxers just people who think they know and think its ok to criticise personally, there is nothing wrong with constuctive criticism and you ignored the fact that banbula is a capable boxer, there are plenty of boxers out there who have lost or drawn and learnt by it, as i said its a learning curve hopefully he will come back stronger, is there a rule i have not read on this site to say i cant express an opinon on my first post! so goodnight to all those unbeaten world champions posting on this site.

The fact that 99.9 of the posters here are male and that you wrote in quite an aggressive style means that thinking you were a man was a reasonable assumption rather than going to show that I know nothing.
I did read your post correctly and I replied to it correctly. It seems it's only you who has problems with reading properly - and with spelling properly as well for that matter.
In a bid to get you to understand what everyone else seems to have grasped, I haven't ignored that fact that Banbula is a capable boxer, rather I've pointed out that given Jeffries' amateur pedigree and the level of hype surrounding him, he would still be expected to handle someone of Banbula's level comfortably rather than get into a life and death struggle with him. What is difficult to understand about that?
As for expressing your opinions, I notice you've managed to completely contradict yourself. You criticise me for assuming you're a man, but then can't accept the fact that you made a similar assumption regarding the number of posters who've actually stepped in the ring on this forum.
Maybe stop and think a bit before posting next time eh?
