BoxRec

The other day I had that Sugar Ray Leonard round at my house, turned up half cut, 2 cans in his hand. He wanted to watch the Hatton fight; I had to tell him to go, the front room was packed out with top boxers, Bradley wiggins had popped in and that Brad Pitt and his bird were round ours as well. It's not easy knowing all the top celebs and sportspeople.

Could you give my number to that idiot Pitt and get him to ring me? I've serious issue with the way he nipped my mate Billy Bob Thornton's bird Ange. Ta.

If you PM me your number you can phone him yourself and sort it out

as you closed the door on a slightly worse for wear Sugar Ray, I trust you muttered "your blowin' it son...."

Haha Palooka I got shot of that freeloading Leonard a long time ago, you're too soft on him. He thinks just 'cos he used to be able to box a bit he owns the fuckin place.

Waste of a post this !

You're right, I've just emailed Tim Berners-Lee to let him know what type of shit his World Wide Web is used for these days.
He wont be impressed.

It was sounding plausible until you dropped Jim Wright's name into your yarn, as if you know him (although I do accept your apology).

Nah, that's rather menacing, I don't think I will.

Terrifying

I'm meeting Cecil Coffee for coffee tomorrow...

What was the point in this thread? Pratt .

I've got a feeling the point is to drive out posters within the game who don't sing to their tune.
Paul Smith was also a sad loss to the forum.

I don't want to drive anyone out, I'm just having a joke, which is the spirit of the thread I think.

Wtf is menacing about Mikey Vann and Paul Thomas anyway? If I had a problem with them I'd be happy to speak to them. Thankfully I don't.

People within the game are bound to fight their corner, which is often difficult considering how the game is run.
Nevertheless threads mocking them is hardly going to encourage them to return, and their input is often valuable making this forum a much better place with the insiders contributions.
Also Eric is def one of the good guys. He is often accused of name dropping but there is no bullshit with him, just look at some of the pictures he has posted during a lifetime in the game.

I understand and agree with the sentiment, but if you could show me a thread on this (or any other) forum where Eric has made a valuable contribution beyond talking about how he was best mates with Lennox Lewis etc. then I would like to read it.

Also, like it or not Paul Smith came across as a right miserable paranoid self centered agressive nob on the vast majority of his posts - just because he is also a pro boxer doesn't negate that.

I respectfully disagree with both statements.
I found Smith insightful, intelligent and genuine, ok he got defensive when criticised but who can blame him for that? Posters then got quite disrespectful of him.
I think he comes across very well in his commentating role too.
Maybe you should reread Eric's contribution too. He is also amenable to questions about all of the times he has been there and seen it. People often take this as boasting but he has been there and done it.

Thought it was pretty funny, nothing wrong with that - and I know Eric as well. I'm sure he can take a joke - and when a ref or judge needs critisizing on here, that should happen too, regardless of whether he's a "mate" or not.

This.

& I thought I showed admirable restraint by not joining in.

You always seem to be just ahead of me agreeing with the post I'm about to agree with at the moment

How do you know I'm not you? You could be my alter ego.

Have you seen us together in the same room?

Good point, just the sort of thing I would think of

Are you Lefty as well?

And possibly PIGG?

Calm down Dan, I am not PIGG

I had that Tyler Durden round my flat the other night...

& yes I am lefty. That's why I devote so much time to calling him a pudendum every time he pops up.
