I see Amir Khan will compete in this years edition of superstars, think the lad will have his work cut out against the likes of jamie bulch and marlon devenish.... good luck to him though <cough cough lets hope he does better than hatton did cough splutter>

Incidentally Barry mcguigan will be the boxing representative in the masters edition of the superstars against the likes of john barnes and bryan robson

Poor old Amir is gonna get thrashed..... he is only a baby physically competing against men.....

Unless they hit the competitors on the chin in one of the events i cannot see him doing very well....

The attributes required to be a good boxer arent really tested on these kind of programmes

He'll do better than a 14 stone Ricky Hatton did surely?

Indeed, Richard 'Jabba-The-Hutt' Hatton got the lowest score in the program's history, even lower than girly-haired snooker player Paul Hunter.

Superstars is a fantastic program, well worth tuning in for.

Nah Superstars is wank I've decided. It makes boxers look inferior and I can't take that bloody commentator anymore, he makes Jim Neilly sound like music to the ears.

Apparently both Shane Mosely and Lennox Lewis struggled badly in the US versions of the show. At least its not just British fighters who suffer under this format!

amir filmed a superstars in september ish, is it the same one and not been screened yet

probably.

wonder how barry mc will get on against the old guard.

Wayne McCullough wasn't doing too bad last year till he messed up his feet and John Conteh always used to be one of the best so I think it is possible for boxers to do well at superstars. Suprised Shane Mosley didn't do well if it was a few years ago?

Yes, I remember Lewis coming last in the cycling which was his Joker event - also getting beaten at one on one basketball against the short guy.

It was screened on Sky a few years ago, Lawrence Taylor was a beast and you have made Brian Jacks looks silly.

Mads Larsen and Søren Søndergaard have done very will in the individual superstar events in Denmark. Johnny Bredahl and Rudy Markussen were in the team event and did ok. All event were won by different handball players.

i believe the skiier Heman Maier won it the year Mosley was there...

and we all thought skiiers were poncey....

Hey skiing is good.


I'm supposed to be off again in march, haven't decided where to go yet, anyone got any solid recommends?

Cross Country Skiers are the fittest athletes' around. I know Maier wasn't a cross country skier, but all skiers are very, very fit.
