But team Tyson are all idiots? One of the most recognised faces in British sports but his uncle is the clever one?

Just because you’re recognised doesn’t excuse you being an idiot

Most of them have already been said but -

Davison
Sam Jones
Fearon
John Fury
GAD
Conor Benn
Saunders

The biggest idiots in British boxing are us fans.

I am definitely an idiot

Only boxing could allow a grifter like Scam Jones to slide in like a serpent and become so visible and influential.

Maybe we need a poll

Jones is harmless. I don’t have an issue with him being involved as a manager.

I have more of an issue with Maz Majeed being involved with several boxers given he’s a convicted criminal and responsible for one of the biggest sporting fixes over the last 20 years. Now that’s a grifter to me.

Everyone else on your list I agree with ……. but Ben Davison ??

Hasn’t he done enough by now with enough different fighters to earn some respect

I’m going to be a bit controversial, but anyone boxing tv journo who really gives Chris Eubank Snr air time in 2025. I’m also going to be hypocritical and say I watch them religiously, but hes clearly suffering and it doesn’t give boxing a good name.

Yes I watch them, but in a similar way that I would watch Amy Whinehouse perform when she was clearly in a bad place.

Adding Archie Sharp to this list - not only a disgraceful display against Maxi Hughes, but full idiot points awarded for celebrating at the end as though he'd done something creditable instead of embarrassing the sport and wasting everyone's time.

Not really his su cess if you can say that has come from boxers taught and trained well before they went to him . Don't think he.s improved any of them . In fact a few have lookked worse . . His words of wisdom always seem like he's just repeating a video he watched on tube. Although by now he should be in a position to entice good trainers to come work with him and if he's any good he.ll listen and learn of them . For me he never seems to pick up and change there bad habits . MOSES HAS A FEW and a good experienced boxer will take advantage of them because if its not picked up in the gym it becomes a regular and complecant bad habit

He’s an absolute moron.

Most people had the intelligence to take the money from Kinahan but keep quiet. Davison, Sam Jones, Saunders, Fury & a few others were stupid enough to publicly & repeatedly praise a mass murderer. I hope all of them get their comeuppance one day.

One of the most baffling careers I can remember a British fighter having.

I think he dropped lucky that Can Xu wasn’t up to much & that Lara messed the weight up / didn’t train properly for the rematch. He also took a beating off Warrington, I was thinking it was time for the corner to pull him out before he found the most incredible 5 punch combo.

I never watched Leigh & felt he improved much as a boxer. He seemed to just develop a toughness & an ability to carry his power late that he didn’t have early in his career.

The best boxing performance of his for me was still the first half of the Gavin McDonnell fight. He looked a million dollars that night until he got clipped.

I would have never guessed that he would turn into a big puncher & be able to develop punch resistance like he did in his 30’s.

I don't think he's improved anyone , I have said it many times he's a celebrity trainer , and for some reason , his contacts , his bullshit , whatever good boxers buy into the hype go with him , and its instant success for him ,purely because they have gone to him , they get the fights they have already learnt from others , and they win or they don't but what they don;t do is come with any new found technical skills learnt from him ,

But i don't think he's the biggest idiot in boxing , certainly not that honor goes to GAD

It's a job to find a bigger one! He even beats Adam Smith hands down.

While he has been in the sport for years, he had always been fairly anonymous.

However the internet, and especially Talk Sport, have given him a vehicle

Any fans who pay to watch one of the social media celebrities like Jake and Logan Paul in their faked boxing matches.
