Whoever he is licensed with they are a disgrace

Got to agree boxing does itself no favours whatsoever in allowing fighters who are clearly damaged goods to carry on boxing, some guys need protecting from themselves and this kind of situation just makes it harder to justify boxing as a force of good rather than the meat market we all know lurks below the surface.

Good point. What has any of the topics gotta do with anyone on this forum? What's the point of discussing anything. Fury/Chisora, Eubanks son and dad relationship, Haye's patheticness... Fvck it. Close the forum

Can we get a final Hatton vs Witter thread on the go before we close the forum forever? For old times sake.

Because the people that use this forum are dedicated boxing fans some of us live and breathe the sport and boxers like Danny have been watched and supported by us since the beginning of their careers and unlike fans of other sports we genuinely hope these lads have a good career and more importantly leave the game with their health intact, we care about our sport and we care about the fighters that serve the sport.

Yes I know all that, but who has the right to tell someone to stop earning money?

When it is clearly affecting Danny's health, I'd say there's plenty of people that can tell him to stop fighting, the fact he is earning money is irrelevant if his brain's too mashed for him to spend it. He's had 70 fights, boxed all over the world and taken a lot of punishment, right now the minute he's hit with a half decent shot his legs go, that's a pretty clear sign he shouldn't be fighting, if he carries on he will get brain damage, if he doesn't already have it, and he will end up dying far younger than he needs to.

No one, but boxers need protecting from themselves breaks my heart to see ex pugs suffering from hard careers and for what ? just so we can have something to watch on a saturday night , its a privilege for fans to watch 2 blokes beat the sh!t out of each other for peanuts the least we can do is to look out for their welfare

[Rexob]

Yes, I don't disagree with you, but if the guy wants or needs to earn a bit let him.

[Syntax Error]

I feel for Danny, because he's a nice bloke & doesn't deserve to end up as a human punch bag for chump change.

The sad thing is that boxing is his only way of earning money & he's never been fortunate enough to amass enough money to live comfortably off.

[Rexob]

It's still better than working in some shit job somewhere IMO, good luck to him the guy needs to be admired for keeping the dream alive(sort of) not told what he should or shouldn't be doing!

Sorry mate but were not gonna agree on this you should try lacing the gloves up yourself to get a bit of perspective, as much as I love the game theres no way it should be legal in a civilised world so anything we can do to take the focus off the darker elements and promote the positive side of the sport we should.

I'm involved in boxing and I know I don't have the right to tell anyone to stop but boxing is a very dangerous sport and can you imagine the damage it would cause to boxing and the how it would pan out if something bad happens to Danny Williams.

Danny has boxed at the highest level and I'm sure that he could make a very good living being a paid sparring partner, personal training, open his own gym, doing the rounds on the dinner circuit telling stories of his career the Tyson fight, his British Title fight where his shoulder popped out etc or even get back into the bodyguard/high level security stuff. Loads of ways he could make a living for himself that wouldn't mean his health was at risk!!

I can guarantee he won't be getting the kind of wages fighting against novice fighters that would make it worth his while to risk his long term health, somebody close to him needs to give him some home truths, i've heard he does it to keep his kids in private school but I'm sure his kids would rather have a healthy dad than be at that school because if anything were to happen to him then one of them might have to look after him for the rest of his life.

Only my opinion on one of my favourite fighters when I was younger, before he went down this route.

He isn't keeping the dream alive, he's not fighting to try and achieve anything other than a bit of money. He won't be making much more than those 'shit' jobs and in return he gets his head bashed in every few months. There's a reason the board won't license him in this country anymore - for his own safety.

Good call.

Danny has had an interesting career & would have a great story to tell.

He'd also be in demand a nightclub bouncer, because you can't get much better kudos than being a former British HW boxing champion, or the man that slayed the mighty Mike Tyson, even if it was Tyson's ghost! :P

[Rexob]

He'd be a prime target for pissed up revellers and would sustain much more of a beating than in the ring.

And he'd deal with them with ease, a few pissed up lads aren't going to do more damage than professional heavyweights. I'm starting to think you're either a troll, or just really, really stupid.

No I don't live under a bridge.
